Last Tuesday, the Development Authority of Fulton County voted to approve up to $370 million in tax-exempt bonds to fund construction of a “Teachers’ Village” near Centennial Olympic Park.
That, plus millions of dollars in grants and bonds from Invest Atlanta will be used to construct a housing tower intended to house Atlanta teachers and low-income seniors.
The project will be built by the RBH Group, a developer that has already built a Teachers’ Villages in Newark, N.J.
According to officials, the property will be built at 98 Cone St. NW in Atlanta, with construction to begin in 2025 and the building to open to tenants in 2027.
The property will be more than 450,000 square feet, with almost 23,000 for retail space, and 197 workforce apartments. Another 227 apartments will be marked for seniors, with an independent living discount to the market rate for those residents, according to RBH.
The community will also feature 371 parking garage spaces, in addition to its close proximity to the Five Points MARTA station, the developer said.
