ATLANTA—North American Properties (NAP) broke ground on Edge, an $80 million mixed-use community on the Atlanta BeltLine's Eastside Trail. In partnership with Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. and The Conservation Fund Partner, NAP is working to transform an environmentally contaminated site into a modern living and working environment.

“The BeltLine has spurred exciting growth as it continues to create unique and memorable destinations such as Ponce City Market and Krog Street Market,” says Richard Munger, partner and vice president of development with NAP, noting that “energy-driven developments” will help create a sense of place.

Edge will line both sides of the BeltLine's Eastside Trail with 29,000 square feet of experiential retail, indoor/outdoor dining, loft offices, and a pedestrian bridge over the trail to connect it all. Out of the 350 residential units, 30% will be dedicated to affordable workforce housing for the portion of the property purchased from ABI. The retail and residential components of Edge will open in early Spring of 2019.
