An apartment complex at Hardee Street in Atlanta is about to get a major overhaul with an emphasis on affordable housing.

Jonathan Rose Companies is currently under contract to buy the Edgewood Court property, according to a press release. The primary goal of the redevelopment is providing affordable housing.

“The garden-style community will continue to be affordable, with 100 percent of units designated for those at or below 60 percent [Area Median Income],” the press release says.

Jonathan Rose is redeveloping the properties in partnership with Columbia Residential. The cost of the project will be around $17 million.

The project should be finished in late 2018.

Edgewood Court was built in 1950 and refurbished in 1981. It’s part of the HUD Section 8 program.

“Following the renovation, Edgewood Court will consist of 222 residences; 204 remaining Section 8 and the remainder as affordable tax credit units,” the press release says.

The Section 8 contract for the property will be renewed for 20 years.

According to the press release, redevelopment will also include:

– Energy conservation and sustainability measures with certification under Enterprise Green Communities

– A new vibrant community and leasing center with state of the art amenities including fitness center and computer lab

– A refresh of building facades

– Roof and gutter replacements

– Repaving of roads and walkways

– New ADA-Accessible Units

– Interior upgrades including dishwashers as well as updated electrical and HVAC

– Exterior amenities including a community garden and playground

The development team is meeting with residents and other interested parties to discuss its plans, the press release said.
