Near Beltline, hilltop ‘The Upton’ enters construction home stretch Josh Green Fri, 08/23/2024 - 08:08 Two years after breaking ground, a multifamily project positioned for unique skyline views and Atlanta Beltline access has entered the home stretch of construction in a rapidly growing southside neighborhood, according to developers.

Pre-leasing is expected to begin in October for The Upton, a Chosewood Park project with nearly 400 apartments that aims to capitalize on the allure of the Beltline’s Southside Trail, a five-mile swoop of multi-use pathways both built and under construction.

Situated on a hilltop overlooking downtown and the Beltline corridor just west of Boulevard, The Upton replaced a long-vacant, 430 Englewood Ave. lot once home to low-rise warehouse facilities. It’s now scheduled to fully open in April, according to developers META Real Estate Partners.

New renderings provided this week for The Upton illustrate how amenities described as “unmatched” by developers will look and function. As curated by property management agency Gallery Residential, those amenities will include a fitness concierge, an edible garden, and an artist-in-residency program, per project officials.

Once finished, The Upton will join nearby rental options such as the Skylark apartments on Boulevard and the comparatively massive Maverick community a little farther west on the trail. Other large-scale residential bets in nearby blocks include Empire Communities’ massive Zephyr project, which will eventually see 1,000 units of for-sale townhomes and multifamily dwellings spread across 34 acres.

Plans at The Upton call for 396 units but no retail. The building will wrap a 539-space parking garage standing six and ½ stories, with a rooftop amenity space on the top level of that, officials previously told Urbanize Atlanta.

The Upton’s site is just south of The Beacon, a former warehouse district turned food, drink, and retail destination. The 5-acre Boulevard Crossing Park—where the Beltline announced a 25-acre expansion in 2019—is located just to the east. (That greenspace expansion is fully designed but on hold, pending funding, per Beltline leadership.)

Just north of The Upton, the 1.9-mile Southside Trail section linking Boulevard around to Pittsburgh is now fully under construction, with delivery scheduled for early 2026 in time for Atlanta’s World Cup matches. Initially, The Upton was scheduled to deliver this summer, but that’s been bumped back.

Meta Real Estate Partners, based near Sandy Springs and formerly called SWH Residential, also counts Old Fourth Ward’s North & Line in its portfolio of residential projects near the Beltline.

The Upton’s development team also includes Dynamik Design (architecture and interior design), B+C Studio (landscape architecture), Kimley-Horn (civil engineering), and Fortune-Johnson (general contractor).
