600 Apartments Going Up on Blighted Northside Drive

ATLANTA-Three separate multi-million-dollar apartment projects are nearing completion or in the works on a section of blighted Northside Drive, the Downtown artery largely ignored over the years by developers and politicians, area brokers tell GlobeSt.com.

Expected to debut in May is M Street, a $30-million, 308-unit multifamily complex being developed by longtime builder and apartment manager Julian LeCraw & Co. at the corner of Northside Drive and Marietta Street on the site of a former metal cycling plant.

Just south of May Street, the first 16-acre, 292-unit phase of Northside Village Apartments is being completed by a joint venture of locally based Southeast Capital Partners and an affiliate of Antioch Baptist Church North.
