Workforce housing mix with more than 230 homes officially a go Josh Green Fri, 07/11/2025 - 16:02

Between downtown Atlanta and the airport, a residential development with no market-rate rentals is gearing up to move forward in coming days, according to Atlanta Housing officials.

A groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled Tuesday for Sylvan Hills II, a 233-unit venture in Southwest Atlanta described by project leaders as a fully affordable mix of apartments and townhomes.

The 10.5-acre site at 1924 Sylvan Circle is situated a few blocks east of MARTA’s Lakewood/Fort McPherson station, just north of Langford Parkway, in Sylvan Hills. The property was formerly home to the Sylvan Circle Apartments.

The initial Sylvan Hills phase, a senior housing venture, was built around the corner, tucked off the north-south thoroughfare.

Dignitaries including Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and Dr. Alan Ferguson Sr., Atlanta Housing’s chief housing and real estate officer, are scheduled to lead Tuesday’s groundbreaking.

Construction is expected to take 20 months, meaning the first units should be available for rent in late 2026, according to Atlanta Housing. The total project cost is $52 million.

The housing agency is partnering on Sylvan Hills II with TCE Development, Radiant Development Partners, EQ Housing Advisors, Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership, and Metro Atlanta Land Bank.

According to developer Radiant, the energy-efficient rentals will be a mix of garden-style apartments, townhouses, and carriage homes, with onsite amenities that include walking paths, a playground, and community room.

All 233 units will be reserved for households earning between 30 and 80 percent of the Area Median Income, which will be “achieved without the utilization of traditional Low-Income Housing Tax Credits” to “deliver urgently needed housing in a high-opportunity corridor,” according to Radiant.
