50 Apartments, Zero Parking Spaces in Kirkwood

About This Video

In this video I cover one of the most talked-about development proposals in Kirkwood right now: 50 micro-apartments, two restaurants, and an office headquarters coming to 1976 Hosea L. Williams Drive NE with zero parking spaces. Atlanta-based developer Stryant is making this possible because of a 2024 zoning overhaul that removed parking minimums inside the BeltLine Overlay District. The units are AI-designed for space efficiency, the project is unsubsidized, and the BeltLine Eastside Trail is the connection that makes car-free living here at least worth debating. If this works, expect every BeltLine-adjacent neighborhood with a walkable core to try the same model. For the full story, read the blog: Kirkwood Is Getting 50 Parking-Free Micro-Apartments.

What Is the BeltLine Overlay District and Why Does It Matter for Atlanta Development?

The BeltLine Overlay District covers roughly a half-mile on either side of Atlanta's 22-mile trail loop. A 2024 zoning overhaul removed parking minimum requirements for developments inside this zone, which is what unlocked this Kirkwood project and could open the door for similar parking-free mixed-use development across every BeltLine-adjacent neighborhood with a walkable commercial core.
