What a $4K rental looks like next door to Atlanta Braves ballpark

What a $4K rental looks like next door to Atlanta Braves ballpark Josh Green Tue, 05/28/2024 - 10:19 What’s the going rate for brand-new apartments with three-minute walkability to Truist Park and even closer access to onsite “work pods” and foosball?

The mixed-use Ellison Parkview project in the shadow of the Braves stadium and The Battery Atlanta has released its pricing and provided the answer to that question—which is, in short, not exactly cheap by suburban standards. But not unexpected, either.

The priciest rentals available for pre-leasing at Ellison Parkview right now are asking between $3,854 and $3,879 per month.

That gets three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a balcony, a foyer, and a small dining space in 1,519 square feet.

On the flipside, getting a foot in the door at the complex costs between $1,742 and $1,882 for a floorplan called the S1 with a single bedroom and bathroom in 615 square feet.

Tucked off Cobb Parkway, the Ellison Parkview project (formerly called The Optima) is planning to start hardhat tours in early June for prospective residents at 2801 Windy Ridge Parkway, across the street from The Battery and the MLB ballpark.

According to developer Flournoy Properties Group, Ellison Parkview’s first residents are scheduled to start moving in sometime in August.

The 298-unit project, which topped out at five stories back in early 2023, will also include 6,000 square feet of space for restaurants and retail at the base. That retail section will front a large plaza with water features, seating, and public gathering spaces.

As a fresh batch of renderings illustrates, amenities are set to include a range communal workspaces, a poolside clubroom, and a “sky lounge” with an outdoor patio on the fifth floor that overlooks the plaza and Braves stadium.

One key design feature, according to architects with Dynamik Design, is an expansive streetscape meant to accommodate rideshare pick-up and drop-off during busy game days and other events, such as concerts, which Truist Park is increasingly known for hosting.

A crosswalk into The Battery is also located at Ellison Parkview’s doorstep on Heritage Court. Beyond The Battery, developers have pointed to less-than-a-mile proximity to Cumberland Mall as another selling point.

Ellison Parkview is scheduled to finish construction in 2025, with its apartments averaging 855 square feet, according to the developer’s website. The project broke ground back in 2021 and was initially expected to deliver last year but has grappled with delays. It claimed 4 acres of hilly woods about a block west of the stadium as the crow flies. (See an expanded range of preview imagery in the gallery above.)

The mixed-use development joins a flurry of new construction currently underway within steps of Truist Park’s entries.

At a site behind home plate, a 250,000-square-foot office building has recently topped out that will serve as national headquarters for Truist Securities, Truist’s full-service corporate and investment bank. That nine-story project has risen on the northwest side of Truist Park, just up the street from the Coca-Cola Roxy music venue, with a 750-space parking deck attached.

Meanwhile, on the flipside of Truist Park, a two-tower project called “The Henry”—an homage to late Braves legend Hank Aaron—is in development beyond the stadium’s left and centerfield walls.

The Henry’s plans call for a mix of more than 500 upscale apartments, a 250-key Marriott Autograph hotel, retail space, and 54 condos, the latter representing a rare for-sale residential option for the district.
