File this one under random urban observations—and potentially important templates for Atlanta’s growth.
Where just a single house had stood during the pandemic (along with offices for manufacturer Stein Steel), more than 60 housing units have finished construction and come together in a unique way in Reynoldstown.
The relatively dense housing node is a block from the Beltline’s Eastside Trail, bounded by Kirkwood Avenue and Gibson, Holtzclaw, and Mauldin streets.
The majority of the homes (56 units) were built by Empire Communities as part of the expanding Stein Steel project, with prices ranging from the low $300,000s for one-bedroom condos to three-bedroom townhomes in the $600,000s. Duplexes and smaller contemporary cottages by a separate development team also helped fill the formerly barren block.

Demolition at the longstanding steel plant kicked off in early 2021, and construction on the block in question really took off soon after. Today, it’s deserving of a photo tour to help paint the picture.
So come, take a quick walk around the block in the gallery above.
