After going quiet (at least publicly) for nearly a year, a boutique apartment project in Buckhead’s Peachtree Hills is again showing signs of life.

Plans filed with the city in October call for replacing the One Peachtree Hills Apartments, a 1960s garden-style complex, with a wedge-shaped, low-rise building with 44 units and no shortage of outdoor spaces attached to rentals.  

The proposal recently came before the Atlanta Beltline Design Review Committee, as the development team is seeking special permissions related to fencing around a portion of the property to increase security and screening.

The existing two-story complex is located at 11 Peachtree Hills Ave., a block south of the Publix-anchored Peachtree Battle Shopping Mall and just north of Peachtree Creek’s winding banks.

The TSW-designed proposal from Pruiett Capital Partners and Hudson Development Partners calls for building a three-story multifamily building with an amenity terrace on the roof.

Apartments would range from studios to two-bedroom options, each with open balconies. (The breakdown: 10 studios, 23 one-bedroom units, and 11 two-bedroom options, according to a Special Administrative Permit filing from last year.)

We’ve reached out to project developers and architects for the outlook on a groundbreaking and other details, and we’ll update this story with any additional information that comes.

According to Beltline DRC filings, developers are seeking a variance to a city ordinance... [CORRECTION: 5:11 p.m., Aug. 26: Developers send word that an earlier version of this story was inaccurate, in that information pertaining to a variance request was incorrectly documented in a recent Atlanta Beltline DRC agenda and used as a source for this story. "The razor wire and wall etc. were an error by the Beltline; they attached comments from another project to ours accidentally," a project official explains. We regret the error.]

The property falls within a BeltLine Overlay District, but the application makes no mention of affordable or workforce housing being included.

Filings from last year stipulate that 51 onsite parking spaces would be provided, of a maximum 55 allowed. The minimum five bicycle parking spaces are planned elsewhere on site, according to the SAP application.  

The proposal also calls for building a parking garage accessed via Fairhaven Circle that’s partially underground.

Fulton County records indicate the .6-acre property last sold for $4 million in summer 2022 to an LLC called 11 Peachtree Hills Holdings.
