Atlanta Housing and development partners The Benoit Group are scheduled to break ground this morning on the next phase of the multi-block Englewood project, situated south of Grant Park and area attractions such as The Beacon, a block from the Beltline’s Southside Trail.
Called Englewood multifamily, the next component at 401 Englewood Ave. will include 200 mixed-income apartments and retail space in an area that’s seen a surge of new residents in post-pandemic years. It will rise next to another under-construction Englewood facet, a 160-unit venture for independent senior living.
A planned third phase will bring for-sale housing deemed affordable to the 30-acre site in coming years, per Atlanta Housing.
The Englewood community also includes a new, three-section trails and greenspace project spanning about 6 acres that will formally open to the public when adjacent housing does, officials have said.
Overview of the multifamily Englewood project in Chosewood Park now underway.

According to Atlanta Housing, the Englewood multifamily building will reserve all 200 of its apartments for families earning at or below 60 percent of the Area Median Income. (Half of those units will receive Home Flex vouchers.) At ground level will be nearly 22,000 square feet of retail space.
The community that formerly stood on site, Englewood Manor public housing, was built in 1970 and eventually housed 324 families. It was demolished in 2009, according to Invest Atlanta.
The project will border the Chosewood Park greenspace and athletic fields, with the first phase of the Beltline’s Boulevard Crossing Park across the street to the north.

Atlanta Housing reps tell Urbanize Atlanta the senior housing component at Englewood, which broke ground in May 2024, is on pace to finish construction in July.
Englewood is now surrounded by hundreds of new multifamily residences, for-sale townhomes, and what amounts to a planned, 1,000-home small town within the city. Just to the north, the Beltline’s full Southside Trail is still aiming for completion before 2026 FIFA World Cup matches next June.
Also nearby, ownership of an 11-acre former TV and film compound has recently flirted with the idea of redevelopment next door to the Beltline.
