About This Short
They approved it, despite years of pushback from the community. Portman Holdings is moving forward with a massive project:
- 1,100 apartments
- 150,000 sq ft of commercial space
- 1,400 parking spots
- And “affordable housing”… in one of the least affordable parts of the city.
This is prime Midtown real estate, right on Monroe Drive, the BeltLine, and next to Piedmont Park. Traffic? Already a nightmare. Affordability? Still questionable. Impact? Major.
This isn’t just a new development. It’s a shift in who gets to live here and how fast Atlanta is changing.
