Two years after it broke ground, a high-rise project that filled a long-festering void in Midtown’s urban fabric is expected to start opening its apartments next week.

Fresh visuals and initial rent prices have recently emerged for 32-story Modera Parkside, the latest of a dozen mixed-use and multifamily projects in metro Atlanta put together by developer Mill Creek Residential.

The building is delivering 361 units and a retail space to 180 10th St., about two blocks from Piedmont Park.

According to marketing materials, up to three months of free rent is being dangled as an incentive (like the sky-high amenities) to call Modera Parkside home. No apartments higher than the 20th floor, including penthouses, are currently available, as construction continues.

Apartments range from studios to three-bedrooms with dens. The larger offerings will include penthouses on top floors with what developers have described as preserved and unencumbered views of Atlanta’s skyline and Piedmont Park “on the very edge of high-rise zoning.” The earliest availability listed is Dec. 13.

According to current listings, Modera Parkside rentals start with 560-square-foot studios asking $1,794 per month and up.

One-bedroom options with about 40 more square feet start at $2,117 monthly right now.

The least expensive two-bedroom apartments in the building (946 square feet) begin at $3,025 monthly, while three-bedroom options (1,405 square feet) are asking from $4,050 per month.

The latest exterior designs for the building are a departure from those unveiled in 2022. Tall stripes of color run up the east façade (facing Piedmont Park) as a nod to Midtown’s nearby Rainbow Crosswalk, while a mural is planned for the opposite side of the building’s base that’s not shown in renderings.  

The new design also includes Modera branding a few stories over 10th street—and a gentle redesign of the white parking podium façade around it, according to revised visuals in marketing materials.

Elsewhere, plans for the Modera Parkside amenities package include two lounges on the 30th floor, a rooftop pool deck and gym with wide skyline views, a Full Swing Golf Simulator, fire pits high off the street, valet dry cleaning, coworking stations, a cybercafe, EV charging stations, a game room with foosball and shuffleboard, and bike storage, plus dedicated dog runs and a pet spa.

According to Midtown Alliance, the building will also include 451 parking spaces.

At street level, expect 3,400 square feet of retail for what’s been described as a signature restaurant with outdoor seating along 10th Street. The intent is to add life to what was a blank spot on the otherwise vibrant street for ages.

Modera Parkside broke ground in fall 2022 at a site that had 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.

The Midtown tower joins 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 has started work on a 402-unit community called Modera Southside Trail in Peoplestown, as Modera Westside Trail in English Avenue recently began topping out.

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

Project officials have previously said Modera Parkside is on pace to finish construction in the third quarter of 2025.
