The Atlanta City Council approved the rezoning of a 1.5-acre parcel at 123 Main Street NW from R-4 (Single-Family Residential) to MRC-3 (Mixed Residential Commercial District 3). This decision paves the way for the development of 'The Orion at Northside,' a 7-story mixed-use building. The project will feature 150 residential units, comprising studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, alongside 15,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Key features include a public plaza, green space, and improved pedestrian connectivity. Twenty percent of the residential units will be designated as affordable housing, serving residents at 80% Area Median Income (AMI). The approval came after review of the application from Orion Development Group, LLC.
