Another BeltLine-adjacent apartment project is moving forward in Southeast Atlanta to replace a giant mound of excavated landfill trash that’s been a source of bemused infamy among neighbors.
Atlanta-based developer TPA Residential has filed for permits to begin vertical construction of a multifamily building at 1104 Avondale Avenue in Boulevard Heights, less than two blocks from the BeltLine’s Southside Trail and Grant Park.

Beyond that mid-rise building, TPA expects to build 63 rental townhomes spread around 10 structures situated closer to United Avenue, according to site plans. As required by zoning, a small retail space will be included in one corner of the multifamily building.
