Old Fourth Ward project near Ponce City Market starts delivering

A push for density in blocks west of Boulevard is continuing in Old Fourth Ward near a popular park.

Following more than two years of site-clearing, infrastructure work, and construction, the initial, six-home phase of an infill townhome project now coined “The Towns at O4W” is complete, project officials tell Urbanize Atlanta. 

The project, set to eventually include 31 townhomes, replaces several older houses and a vacant lot at 404 Linden Ave.

The site is located a block south of North Avenue near Central Park, a 17-acre city greenspace and rec sports hub where Shaky Knees Music Festival had been held for years before uprooting to Piedmont Park. 

Ponce City Market is roughly five blocks, or half a mile, to the east. 

According to developer PacificPoint Realty, all townhomes will include three bedrooms and three full bathrooms and will stand three stories, with between 1,900 and 2,100 square feet, offered in four different floorplans. Each comes with a two-car garage and fenced yard. 

The two options listed to date are priced from $779,900 to $799,900. Both count three bedrooms and three and ½ bathrooms in 1,988 square feet.  

Interiors include 10-foot ceilings on main levels, white-oak flooring finished on site, marble and quartz countertops, and sloped ceilings in bedrooms that climb to 13 feet. According to developers, the project is among the first townhome builds in Atlanta to include Bosch induction cooktops as a standard feature, which they say offers "an energy-efficient and low-emission alternative to gas.”

Many of The Towns units will have views of the downtown and Midtown skylines, project officials previously noted.  

Atlanta-based PacificPoint Realty’s recent work includes the Freedom Townhomes in Poncey-Highland and the upscale 1204 on the Park project overlooking Piedmont Park, where townhomes sold for as high as $2.1 million.

The Old Fourth Ward project is designed by TaC Studios, an Atlanta architecture firm with a portfolio of modern houses and townhome ventures (several in partnership with PacificPoint Realty) dotted across the eastside. Citi Construction is building the project. 

In an interview last fall, listing agent Allen Snow, Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty vice president of developer marketing and sales, described the section of Old Fourth Ward in question as “Forth Ward West” and pointed to “transformational projects” in the pipeline nearby that could eventually be selling points.

Those include the mixed-use redevelopment vision for Atlanta Medical Center, a block-sized proposal in the 200 block of Ponce de Leon Avenue (just east of Mary Mac’s Tea Room), and the revitalization of Cosby Spear Towers, among others, according to Snow.

The Towns project will be featured in the MA! Architecture Tour, part of Atlanta Design Festival, later this year, according to reps.
