- City: New 'Blight Tax' crackdown to boost Atlanta neighborhoodsatlanta.urbanize.city City: New 'Blight Tax' crackdown to boost Atlanta neighborhoods
Tax will give "greater leverage in persuading [absentee] owners to clean up their property or sell"
City: New 'Blight Tax' crackdown to boost Atlanta neighborhoods Josh Green Tue, 07/02/2024 - 11:13 Is a vacant, crumbling house or rotting industrial property bringing your Atlanta street down? A new measure recently introduced by city leaders, if approved, will aim to do something about that.
Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and District 3 city councilmember Byron Amos have partnered to introduce legislation that would create a “Blight Tax” as a means of cracking down on absentee landlords—including corporations—and neglected properties throughout the city.
The proposal would allow Atlanta municipal courts to hike tax bills by up to 25 times more than current tax rates for properties considered blighted albatrosses that further disinvestment in neighborhoods.
The Blight Tax ordinance would authorize city officials to take advantage of a program approved by Georgia voters in recent years that’s meant to persuade property owners to redevelop or remediate blighted real estate, according to a city announcement.
Broadly speaking, the tax penalties have the potential to “fundamentally [change] the economics of neglectful land speculation” across Atlanta. Similar measures have been implemented around Georgia and other states as a “surgical, judicial enforcement tool” applied to vacant, neglected properties that could have otherwise sat vacant for decades, dragging down local communities, per city officials.

Some key points regarding the potential Blight Tax:
- The program would not apply to any property that’s occupied. (Last thing the city wants is to involuntarily displace residents.)
- In hopes of further incentivizing home and property owners, any blighted property that gets remediated and returned to a productive use could be eligible for a discounted tax rate once the work is finished.
- Large-scale properties that significantly impact neighborhoods would be special cases. Those property owner would first have to agree to a “detailed redevelopment plan that addresses neighborhood objectives around connectivity, transportation, and public amenities that benefit the entire community,” per the city announcement.
Amos, the councilmember, said the issue hits close to home in District 3, which covers sections of Midtown, the Marietta Street Corridor, and Westside neighborhoods such as Vine City and English Avenue.
The district’s residents “have for too long been subjected to neglected, blighted properties whose owners are content to wait to cash in,” Amos said in a prepared statement. “The Blight Tax will give us much greater leverage in persuading these owners to clean up their property or sell them to a better steward who will.”
Dickens called the new policy another means of rooting out negligent property owners in Atlanta. “[It] will equip the city with a powerful tool for cracking down on corporate, absentee owners,” said the mayor, “who treat property as a cheap investment vehicle rather than part of the fabric of our communities.”

- Forthcoming Atlanta BeltLine section sees fresh pavement, bridgesatlanta.urbanize.city Forthcoming Atlanta BeltLine section sees fresh pavement, bridges
Westside Trail Segment 4 will complete multi-use path between SW ATL, downtown
Forthcoming Atlanta BeltLine section sees fresh pavement, bridges Josh Green Tue, 07/02/2024 - 09:35 A relatively short but important leg of the Atlanta BeltLine loop that will stitch together numerous neighborhoods west of downtown has recently made significant progress.
Atlanta BeltLine Inc. reports that all five bridges along the forthcoming Westside Trail Segment 4 have seen steel framework installed, with concrete also poured on four them.
Meanwhile, the 1.3-mile trail section has been paved from where it currently ends at Lena Street (alongside the Washington Park greenspace) up to its first of several elevated sections in blocks north of there. All walls needed for Segment 4 have also been poured, according to BeltLine officials.
Once finished, Segment 4 will connect Washington Park up to Bankhead and Historic Westin Heights, creating the longest BeltLine section to date—6.5 miles—in conjunction with the rest of the Westside Trail, the connector trail that shoots out of downtown, and the Southside Trail’s first finished segment.

Along with bridges and a 14-foot-wide concrete pathway, Segment 4 will include a fiber duct bank, vertical connections to neighborhood streets, security cameras, and lighting, alongside storm drainage and management systems that include green infrastructure.
With its elevated pathways and new bridges, the project has been described by BeltLine leaders as especially complex.
BeltLine officials also reported in recent days the project’s fiber duct bank is finished between Lena Street and Washington Manor Drive—a little less than hallway toward its full length—and that stone walls under the Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway underpass are being installed now.

The north-south trail section, situated directly west of Midtown and downtown, will incorporate a section of historic rail bed called the Kudzu Trail. In places, it will include views to downtown landmarks such as Mercedes-Benz Stadium over the roofs and treetops.

- Push to save 'last free parking lot in Little Five Points' heats upatlanta.urbanize.city Push to save 'last free parking lot in Little Five Points' heats up
Converting property to paid parking would pinch businesses, impact neighborhoods, detractors argue
Push to save 'last free parking lot in Little Five Points' heats up Josh Green Mon, 07/01/2024 - 13:34 Little Five Points community leaders are banding together in hopes of saving the cost-free status of a tucked-away parking lot they say is vital for the neighborhood’s business vitality and vibrancy.
According to the Little 5 Points Business Association, the circa-1950 property is the last free parking option left for visitors, locals, and employees at the hip, funky shopping, dining, and entertainment district east of downtown Atlanta.
The alleyway lot in question is located off Euclid Avenue, behind longtime L5P businesses that include Criminal Records, Crystal Blue, The Porter, and dive bar Yacht Club, among others.
[!](https://atlanta.urbanize.city/sites/default/files/styles/1140w/public/2024-07/Little%20Five%20Points%20parking%20lot.png?itok=6lH6E6y4 "Google Maps") General location of the L5P free parking lot in question off Euclid Avenue, at Inman Park's border. Google Maps
Because of its secluded (and free) status, the parking lot has become a crucial “sanctuary” for L5P guests and employees who would otherwise “have to pay absurd amounts to park [up to $25 at peak times] or invade the neighborhood streets,” according to the association. A stream of through-traffic entering and exiting the lot also helps to act as a vehicle burglary deterrent, creating what the business association calls the safest parking lot in the district.
But that could soon change.
Parking company Park Place Parking has applied with the City of Atlanta for a special use permit to begin charging for parking in the lot behind the Euclid Avenue businesses. According to L5P leaders, who are asking the city to deny the application, the matter is set to be voted on at today’s Atlanta City Council meeting. The application was previously rejected 6-to-1 by NPU-N.
According to an email provided to Urbanize Atlanta, a petition calling for the parking lot to remain free has gathered more than 1,800 signatures.

Neighborhood leaders say the lot has been free for many decades, and as such, aligns with a L5P Mobility Study that was previously approved by the city council.
“This is not an empty downtown lot that should be developed,” Kelly Stocks, L5P Business Association president, wrote in the email. “This is a small hidden old alleyway lot that the community depends on. This is a community issue.”
According to the association, “price gouging” at other L5P parking lots has caused “dire financial consequences” for the district’s businesses, which have seen foot traffic and nightlife decline as customers spend more money to park that would have gone to local stores and restaurants.

- Renderings: Slick concept unveiled for latest Portman Midtown toweratlanta.urbanize.city Renderings: Slick concept unveiled for latest Portman Midtown tower
Nature-inspired design bound for noted chef’s Sozou at mixed-use Spring Quarter project
Renderings: Slick concept unveiled for latest Portman Midtown tower Josh Green Mon, 07/01/2024 - 11:24 Exactly what Portman will bring to the table(s) at its multi-pronged Midtown development spanning a full city block continues to come into clearer focus.
Officials with the veteran Atlanta development firm recently provided fresh renderings and details pertaining to dining concept Sozou, which will bring renowned chef Fuyuhiko Ito back to the city and incorporate designs described as a fusion of modern elegance and natural elements. (Chef Ito called the Spring Quarter concept an “entirely new dining experience for Atlanta” in a recent statement.)
Portman has brought on international design firm PMTA Studio and Lazzoni Furniture Atlanta to design a restaurant that aims to push the boundaries of modern Japanese cuisine. It’ll be situated at the ground level of topped-out 1020 Spring, the office tower component of the broader project.
Expect 22-foot ceilings and a palette of earthy materials that will include stone, marble, wood, ceramic, and porcelain to emphasize a connection to nature. A bar near the open-air entrance will aim to blur lines between indoors and outdoors, while a dedicated sushi counter will allow guests to see chefs at work. At the mezzanine level, two private dining rooms—Sakura and Hana—will be intended for special occasions.

Portman’s schedule calls for opening Sozou in spring next year.
Above the main dining space on 1020 Spring’s eighth floor, another concept by the same chef—Omakase at ISHIN by Ito—is planned as a 14-seat experience for private guests in a space that emphasizes Midtown skyline views.
Dotan Zuckerman, Portman’s head of retail development, called Ito’s return to Atlanta “a significant gain for the city's culinary scene.”
The Sozou uncloaking follows more recent, restaurant-related news at other facets of Spring Quarter.

A Louisiana-based “urban Mexican” concept called Habaneros has signed on to take a 3,900-square-foot space at the base of the project’s 30-story Sora apartments, officials announced in May. Habaneros plans to open at the 370-unit residential tower’s ground level in summer 2025, with patios overlooking 10th Street.
At the heart of the project, Steve Palmer, Indigo Road Hospitality Group founder, has been tapped to convert the full historic H.M. Patterson Home and Gardens into a 25,700-square-foot, morning-to-night dining space. The Charleston-based company is behind local concepts such as West Midtown’s O-KU, Avalon’s Oak Steakhouse, and Colony Square’s Sukoshi.

- Rare ITP logistics hub opens near historic downtown, finds successatlanta.urbanize.city Rare ITP logistics hub opens near historic downtown, finds success
Chamblee International Logistics Park project now 50 percent leased, developers report
Rare ITP logistics hub opens near historic downtown, finds success Josh Green Mon, 07/01/2024 - 09:37 Despite recent turbulence in the industry on a national scale, one of the first industrial developments of its kind to be built inside Atlanta’s Interstate 285 Perimeter in more than a decade is quickly attracting tenants, according to project officials.
Stonemont Financial Group, an Atlanta-based real estate investment firm that specializes in industrial development, has signed its third sizable lease at Chamblee International Logistics Park since the Class A project finished construction near the city’s historic downtown in February.
The latest deal—a 45,000-square-foot lease with Aramark Refreshments—brings the rare new ITP logistics hub to about 50 percent leased, according to Stonemont and its venture partner Seven Oaks Company.
The four-building, 236,000-square-foot complex took shape at 3311 Catalina Drive, about a half-mile from MARTA's Chamblee station and just north of the area's airport, DeKalb-Peachtree Airport.
Fronting both Chamblee Tucker Road and Chamblee Dunwoody Road, the 30-acre site was previously vacant, and project heads have said 6 acres were left empty for future development.

Aramark Refreshments—a food services and facilities provider, and subsidiary of Aramark—will lease the entirety of Building 4 at the industrial park. Previously signed leases totaled 17,128 square feet in Building 1, and 50,720 square feet in Building 2.
The project marked one of the first Class A industrial properties to take shape ITP over the past 10 years, according to Stonemont officials. David Kaplan, the company’s vice president, called the Chamblee address “one of the most desirable locations inside the I-285 perimeter” and “a rare find for an industrial complex of this size” in an announcement.
Beyond airport access, other aspects working in the project’s favor include Chamblee’s relatively low home prices and population growth, along with quick access to I-285 and I-85, according to Stonemont.
Industrial leasing across metro Atlanta stayed relatively healthy in the first quarter of this year. According to Stonemont’s tally, 7.2 million square feet of space was signed, with 74 percent of that being new deals. The company remains bullish on Georgia, with more than 2 million square feet of industrial development under construction or recently finished in the state, include a three-building project in Locust Grove that broke ground this month, marking one of the only projects of its size to move forward in 2024, per officials.
In Chamblee, the development team also included Ware Malcomb architects, civil engineering firm Kimley Horn and Associates, and general contractors Catamount Constructors.
