Project with 325 more residences starts delivering along Beltline loop

Nearly five years after plans initially came to light for morphing an industrial zone in Southwest Atlanta into a residential district, the first of hundreds of new apartments are starting to deliver. 

Billed as being “Steps from the Beltline. Miles above Ordinary,” Woodfield Development’s mixed-income Woodrow House project has started welcoming the first residents at its 325 multifamily rentals in Oakland City. 

The apartments join the Build-to-Rent townhome facet of Woodrow House, which delivered as the project’s 25-unit first phase last summer. 

Base rents for studio apartments at Woodrow House start at $1,420 (584 square feet), while two-bedroom, two-bathroom options (1,127 square feet) begin at $2,195 monthly. Townhome options start from $3,000 monthly for 2,073 square feet and up. 

Up to two months of free rent is being offered as an incentive, and application fees are $99.

Woodrow House amenities include a coworking lounge with a conference room, an upscale pool, a sky deck, walking paths, a dog park, and pet spa. 

The $77-million, mixed-use venture has taken shape on 7 total acres of formerly industrial land a block from the Atlanta Beltline’s Southwest Trail (formerly Westside Trail), adjacent to the historic Murphy Crossing property. The Lee + White district is located a few blocks away on the Beltline. 

Beyond townhomes and apartments, Woodrow House plans call for including shipping-container storefronts for startups and small businesses, while an existing industrial building is being repurposed as the headquarters and training facility of a local coffee roaster. That business has yet to be named, but Woodfield reps say its leadership is committed to hiring from within the surrounding community. 

As part of its community outreach, Woodfield also recently donated $10,000 to Atlanta Music Project, a tuition-free, music-education nonprofit that's been designated as the development’s local charitable partner. 

Meanwhile, Gallery Residential has been hired as property manager at Woodrow House.

According to Woodfield reps, Woodrow House plans call for 66 affordable and workforce units once the project is fully built, alongside more than 12,000 square feet of “neighborhood-serving” retail space along a future Beltline spur trail on Woodrow Street.  

That 1.31-mile Oakland City MARTA station + Murphy Connector Trail—or the “Oakland + Murphy Connector Trail” for short—is planned to branch off the Beltline and provide the 22-mile loop’s first direct link to a MARTA train station, beginning just south of the Lee + White district, with pocket parks and other unique features in between.

Designs for the spur trail are being finalized now, and groundbreaking is scheduled for early 2027, according to a recent Beltline update.
