One glance at aerial photos of Mechanicsville could ding the argument that Atlanta is physically full right now. 

Not surprisingly, another potential project aiming to take advantage of open land in the historic neighborhood just south of downtown has come to light. 

Mableton-based Parton Property Solutions has listed for sale a .7-acre site it owns at 717 Pryor St. in Mechanicsville that calls for 13 townhomes on a vacant corner. 

The site is roughly four blocks due west of Summerhill’s Georgia Avenue commercial strip and a block south of retail along Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard. Georgia State University’s Center Parc Stadium is also nearby, just over the downtown Connector.

The asking price is $1.35 million for the land and development plans by Place Maker Design and Civil Ace Engineering, along with building permits and other paperwork clearing the way for development, including necessary R-5 zoning approvals. Parton Property Solutions is also open to developing the project alongside a capital investor, per sellers.  

According to data provided by listing agent Leanne Allen of Keller Williams Realty West Atlanta, the Mechanicsville townhomes would total 2,654 square feet (both interior and unheated exterior spaces) and would be priced at $550,000. (One townhome would be about 1,100 square feet larger, priced at $725,000.) 

All townhomes would have four bedrooms and four and ½ bathrooms across four stories, topped with rooftop decks.

The project would be located immediately south of another newer Mechanicsville townhome venture, the 11-unit Vertical Row. 

Other recent, for-sale residential projects in the neighborhood include the MetroVille duplexes, the Point 5 project, and a proposal called Signature at Pryor that would rise just north of the 717 Pryor St. site.
