Anyone who’s taken a bundled-up stroll around Atlanta’s marquee park lately may have noticed the Midtown skyline rising up along 10th Street, near the park’s southwestern edge.

That would be the latest Modera-branded apartment project to take shape in metro Atlanta, joining a dozen others dotted from Sandy Springs to Morningside and the city’s southside.

Phil Carson, vice president of development for developer Mill Creek Residential, says the Modera Parkside project is currently pouring concrete for its 23rd floor at 180 10th Street in Midtown.

When finished, the building will stand 32 stories, topped with an amenities level on the roof.

Modera Parkside broke ground in fall 2022 at a site that’d been a fenced-off hole since the Great Recession, when a 19-story condo proposal called Onyx was hit with a lawsuit and ultimately failed to take off.

According to Carson, current timelines call for Modera Parkside to open its first units a year from now, with construction finishing in the third quarter of 2025. Fresh renderings provided to Urbanize Atlanta show the building’s parking podium with a more restrained exterior than previously planned.

Mill Creek officials have said the project will add 361 apartments to Midtown’s densifying core, with units ranging from studios to three-bedrooms with dens. Those will include rental penthouses on top floors with what developers have described as unencumbered and preserved views of Atlanta’s skyline and Piedmont Park “on the very edge of high-rise zoning.”

At street level, expect 3,400 square feet of retail for a signature restaurant with outdoor seating along 10th Street. The building will also include 451 parking spaces, according to Midtown Alliance.

Plans for the amenities package include a rooftop pool deck and gym, a golf simulator, a clubroom with skyline views, fire pits high off the street, valet dry cleaning, coworking stations, a cybercafe, EV charging stations, and bike storage, plus dedicated dog runs and a pet spa.

The Midtown tower will join another Modera-branded complex near the BeltLine in Reynoldstown, a two-phase project in Buckhead, and Modera Decatur as Mill Creek’s latest finished ITP endeavors.

Elsewhere, the company is moving forward with a nine-building project in Hapeville and a 402-unit community called “Modera Southside Trail” in Peoplestown, and now a project called “Modera Westside Trail” in English Avenue.

Mill Creek also built the highly amenitized, 29-story Modera Midtown on 8th Street near the downtown Connector about six years ago.
