Revival lofts welcomes first residents in downtown atlanta - saportareport

FORMERLY BLIGHTED OFFICE BUILDING AND CHAPEL IS TRANSFORMED INTO 51 APARTMENT UNITS IN SONO Local developer Braden Fellman is pleased to announce the grand opening of Revival Lofts, the

highly anticipated residential project at 159 Ralph McGill Boulevard. The long-vacant former United Methodist Center has been converted to 51 apartments in the 6-story office building with a

stunning amenity space in the former chapel.  The studio and one-bedroom apartments, which average 500 square feet, will be available beginning January 1st for move-in. As a historic tax

credit project, the building will maintain architectural details of its 1964 origin, and the new community’s decor and style will play into the 60’s aesthetic. “​​At 57 years old, this

building has just crossed the threshold for historic status, meaning there are very few historic rehabilitation adaptations from this era. This provided an especially unique set of

challenges, but we couldn’t be more excited about the result – all thanks to our development partners, architects Choate + Hertlein and Beacon Construction.” – Andrew Braden, Principal,

Braden Fellman Group Braden Fellman has partnered with Beacon Construction as general contractor for the Revival Lofts project. Beacon is a new firm founded by a team experienced in and

focused on diverse market sectors, including adaptive reuse, multifamily, and healthcare construction. Their executives bring to the table a combined 45 years of experience and over $800M in

completed work.  This resume has landed them two other historic projects: Braden Fellman’s Abrams Fixtures in Adair Park and Urban Landings’ Winnwood Apartments in Midtown. “Our goal is to

build meaningful projects in a collaborative way and this project embodies that goal.  Historic tax credit projects are challenging, but it’s highly rewarding to see unique historic features

get new life. Beacon Construction and our subcontractor partners are proud to be a part of this awesome project and team which has had such a unified vision from the start.” – Andy Brown,

Partner, Beacon Construction The renovation comes in the midst of a renaissance of Atlanta’s Downtown district. Multiple projects have been proposed for a so-called Stitch greenspace that

would top the interstate segmenting this neighborhood, increasing walkability, transit, and beautification. On the corner opposite Revival Lofts, the Civic Center was just slated for

redevelopment as the Atlanta Housing Authority announced a request for proposal by developers. Less than a mile west, the Medical Arts building at 384 Peachtree and the First United

Methodist Church at 360 Peachtree are undergoing similar conversions. The project is lauded by local conservationists. “In 1964 the North Georgia Methodist Conference made their headquarters

in Downtown Atlanta, a new addition to the landscape by renowned architecture firm FABRAP. Decades later the preservation of this space continues its purpose to provide sanctuary thanks to

the stewardship of Braden Fellman Group.  With their thoughtful inclusion of the space’s legacy a part of our city shines on, and the Atlanta Preservation Center is very grateful for this

achievement.” – David Mitchell, Director, Atlanta Preservation Center Learn more about Revival Lofts at www.RevivalLofts.com, and visit Beacon at www.beaconconstructioncompany.com  ABOUT
