Century-Old Atlanta Church to Become Affordable Housing | The Sanctuary Redevelopment. #atlantanews

A historic downtown Atlanta church is about to start a bold new chapter.

Trinity United Methodist Church — right across from City Hall — is being transformed into The Sanctuary, a $41 million redevelopment that blends history with housing.

What’s included:
• A 16-story tower with 83 mixed-income apartments
• Restoration of the Gothic-style sanctuary
• Six additional residential units + shared community space
• Trinity Women’s Center remains open for women and children
• Resident amenities: fitness center, clubhouse, business center, and picnic pavilion

According to Invest Atlanta, projected rents range from $495/month for one-bedrooms at 30% AMI up to $1,752/month for two-bedrooms at 80% AMI.

Groundbreaking: Spring 2026
Completion: 2027

This project has already secured $2 million in city support, and it’s raising big questions about affordability, preservation, and the future of downtown Atlanta housing. What do you think — does this project get it right?
