Sleek Grant Park project plots next phase near forthcoming Beltline

Developers say a combination of decidedly modern aesthetics and Atlanta Beltline proximity is proving appealing in Grant Park, despite some townhome prices in the ballpark of a million bucks.

Half of Twelve on Berne, a 12-unit townhome project by C4 Developers, has finished construction a block from one of the Beltline Southside Trail’s under-construction segments, just south of Glenwood Park on Berne Street. It replaces a row of three one-story homes.

Sharing the same block is a 194-apartment project called Argos that Avila Development recently built along the Beltline corridor. The Warren Boys & Girls Club is directly across the street, to the west.

Stephen Eichelberger, C4 Developers managing partner, tells Urbanize Atlanta half of the first six dwellings at the 816 Berne St. venture’s initial phase are now under contract.

End units ranging from about 2,425 to 2,575 square feet are priced in the lower to mid $900,000s. The interior options—each roughly 2,380 square feet—cost in the mid to upper $800,000s, according to Eichelberger.

All stand four stories, spanning from one and two-car garages at base levels to rooftop decks with attached flex spaces. Each has three or four bedrooms and three and 1/2 bathrooms.

Eichelberger says his team will start taking reservations for the six-unit second phase next week, with interior units in that flank starting in the mid-$900,000s.

“Looking forward, we hope to be well underway with construction and selling phase two just as this segment of the Beltline is coming alive with activity,” Eichelberger tells Urbanize Atlanta. “It’s really a unique time for both Grant Park and Ormewood Park. The excitement is palpable.”

Elsewhere intown, C4 Developers built the Farmhouses at Ormewood community a few blocks away on the same Beltline stretch and is currently developing The Leon on Ponce condos in Old Fourth Ward. Atlanta-based construction firm Level Craft is building the Berne Street project.

Beltline construction continues at full bore in the area, but the Southside Trail segment in question won’t deliver as soon as previously expected.

Project officials said in August that “underground utility challenges” that construction crews encountered at United Avenue have pushed back the scheduled completion date for Segments 4 and 5 from summer 2025 to sometime next fall.

When finished, those segments will stretch from Glenwood Avenue around to Boulevard, just south of Zoo Atlanta. The entire Southside Trail remains on pace to be finished in early 2026, prior to Atlanta’s FIFA World Cup hoopla.
