Images: How 'The Beverly' project slotted into Buckhead's skyline

Yes, development wonks of metro Atlanta, this project has been open for a while, so please withhold thine pitchforks. But in a rapidly changing city like ours, it’s never too late for a closer look.

A project described as the perfect landing spot for young professionals, given its proximity to job centers such as Atlanta Tech Village and Salesforce offices, The Beverly by Alta sprouted from former parking lots along Piedmont Road and debuted last year.

With its upscale apartments (but no retail), the seven-story, 291-unit Wood Partners project continued the revamp of suburban-style shopping center properties around the district’s iconic former Disco Kroger location (R.I.P.). Eric Brock, principal of project designers Brock Hudgins Architects, tells Urbanize Atlanta The Beverly received its final Certificate of Occupancy in June, allowing for first move-ins.

According to the building’s online rental portal, the smaller apartments have proven particularly popular, as no unit priced less than $2,000 monthly is currently available.

That means a foot in the door at The Beverly—a one-bedroom apartment with 704 square feet—starts at $2,095 monthly.

The priciest option—three bedrooms and three bathrooms in 1,863 square feet—starts at 4,919 monthly right now. Both of those floorplans are on the third floor.

Perks around the building include a game lounge with a golf simulator, a 24/7 fitness center, a yoga and “Zen” studio, a speakeasy with a library and poker room, a pool with a tanning ledge, and a small market for residents.

Previous plans for the 3314 Piedmont Road site, which used to be Buckhead Place parking lots, had called for hotel rooms and rental units, but that mix of uses never took off. During the construction process, officials with Atlanta-based Wood Partners called dining, entertainment, and outdoor options from Lenox Square mall to Chastain Park and PATH400 perks of the location.

The Hampton Inn & Suites Atlanta Buckhead Place, constructed prior to the pandemic, stands immediately south of The Beverly.

Disco Kroger—so nicknamed for shenanigans that used to occur in the grocery aisles after nightclubs in the area closed for the night—shuttered after a decades-long run in December 2022. Property owner Regency Centers built a new 55,000-square-foot Publix location in place of Kroger, and the renovated shopping center has been rechristened Buckhead Landing on Piedmont Road.
