The torrent of new student housing in Midtown continues.
Less than a month after move-ins began at the 25-story Whistler Atlanta building beside The Cheetah strip club, another student-housing tower project has declared itself finished about two blocks away, on the same Midtown street.
Two years after breaking ground, national developer Core Spaces has delivered the 19-story Hub Atlanta building at 960 Spring Street, having just moved in students for the 2023-2024 school year.
Developers describe the 292-unit building—a glass and panel-clad structure with a four-story parking garage almost fully concealed—as “stunning.”

Standing just south of 10th Street, a few blocks from Georgia Tech on the opposite side of the Connector, Hub Atlanta offers 792 student beds in layouts ranging from studios to six-bedrooms across the 405,947-square-foot property. It adds to thousands of new off-campus housing options for Georgia Tech and other college students developed in Midtown’s western blocks over the past decade.
Hub Atlanta replaced two low-rise commercial buildings that were most recently home to indoor-outdoor nightclub Alibi Atlanta and Opium Lounge.
Costs of renting at Hub Atlanta vary wildly. For max privacy, studio units start at 385 square feet and $1,649 monthly.
The largest options for students who are cool with buddying up—six-bedroom apartments with about 1,675 square feet—rent from $1,209 monthly total, with administrative fees of $150 per person.
VIP packages (yes, really) with upgraded features such as in-unit sound systems, 65-inch smart TVs, and memory foam mattresses are offered.
