At the edge of a popular intown park, a uniquely dense project is gearing up to climb from a parcel occupied by a single house today.
The six-story apartment venture would rise on a corner parcel at 389 Linden Ave., overlooking Central Park and the skylines of downtown and Midtown beyond that, according to filings made this week with Atlanta’s Department of City Planning.
The project previously came before Old Fourth Ward’s Neighborhood Planning Unit–M in the fall of 2021 but has gone quiet since.
The building would include 24 apartments at the southeastern corner of the intersection of Linden Avenue and Hunt Street, per filings. [UPDATE: 8:59 a.m., March 6: An official once associated with the project sends word that renderings and details previously published with this article are now outdated and incorrect; those have since been removed by request.]
The site is about a block south of North Avenue, just west of Boulevard.

The current three-bedroom, brick home on site dates to around 1920, according to Fulton County property records.
The building would top out at 70 feet, with usable space on the rooftop and 18 vehicle parking spaces where the same developer had once proposed townhomes, as What Now Atlanta reported in 2021. The site has already been rezoned for multifamily development.

Just east of the corner in question, on the opposite side of the same street, a 31-unit townhome project is also in the pipeline from intown developers PacificPoint Realty.
