356 University Avenue
Empowering Equitable Development
356 University Avenue is a 13.7-acre site adjacent to Pittsburgh Yards® and directly on the Southside Trail. The property is owned by Atlanta Beltline, Inc. (ABI) and aims to pave the way for the development of new affordable housing, affordable commercial opportunities, and job creation.
About the Property
The space at 356 University Avenue was acquired by ABI in 2023 from AECF Atlanta Realty LLC, a subsidiary of the Annie E. Casey Foundation.
The land is currently vacant and sits next to The Nia Building™, a 61,000-square-foot former trucking terminal at Pittsburgh Yards® fitted with leasable workspaces, conference spaces, an amphitheater, apartment units, and a shared kitchen and market.
Project Status
ABI will conduct an extensive community engagement process to determine the best uses for the site. A stakeholder advisory committee will also be formed featuring members of The Casey Foundation and residents of adjacent communities.
After incorporating adjacent residents' and local businesses' desires and vision into the plans, ABI will issue a Request for Proposals to invite developers to submit proposals to redevelop the site.
