Images: Under-construction West End project gets fresh name, ETA Josh Green Mon, 09/08/2025 - 14:41
A residential project that will introduce relatively rare, for-sale townhomes along the Atlanta Beltline’s Westside Trail is coming into clearer focus.
The 600 Hopkins St. development—formerly called Hopkins and White Townhomes—has been renamed Gordon White Parkside, or GW Parkside for short. Demolition on site is complete, and infrastructure work including an internal street is wrapping up, according to a recent site visit.
Plans call for GW Parkside to see 23 new townhomes eventually, with the first units arriving early next year.
Ackerman & Co., the same developer that owns Lee + White and its expanding office, retail, and food offerings, started demolition for the infill townhome venture earlier this year.

Situated across the street from the Beltline’s Westside Trail and Gordon-White Park, just north of the Lee + White district, the properties in question were formerly home to two businesses: Best Friends Car Wash, which doubled as an outdoor art gallery for muralists, and Lean Draft House, once celebrated as the first new business to open on the Westside Trail.
The first phase of 13 townhomes is scheduled to be finished in spring 2026, per developers.
Each townhome will have three bedrooms and three and ½ bathrooms in 2,056 square feet, with two-car garages at the base and rooftop decks above, according to Ackerman reps.

The lone available site rendering shows two rows of units, with the internal street between. Rooftops will be positioned to emphasize views of the pocket park and Westside Trail, which is now set to be expanded into former rail corridor nearby, creating a more seamless Beltline experience.
The community will also feature a fenced-in dog park, according to project officials. Price ranges for the townhomes have yet to be released.
