Forth Atlanta hotel to open soon, completing New City project’s initial phase on former parking lots
As next opening nears, an aerial tour over Fourth Ward Project Josh Green Thu, 05/30/2024 - 12:13 After four years of construction, New City Properties’ neighborhood-changing Fourth Ward Project has reached the finishing-touches phase—at least for this round of its development.
With the exception of a second office tower component that hasn’t panned out amid turbulence in that sector, the three-pronged Fourth Ward Project generally appears as though its initial renderings have come to life, wedged between the marquee intown attractions that are Historic Fourth Ward Park and the BeltLine’s Eastside Trail.
Project reps send word that Forth Atlanta—the 16-story, $150-million boutique hotel piece with a diamond-patterned exoskeleton, and the final component of phase one—is on pace to open this summer, with initial media preview tours being scheduled next month. Its interiors have been described as “rich and tailored” as a warmer contrast to the modern exterior of concrete and glass.
Surface parking shown at bottom left is a temporary use—essentially a placeholder for future phases of Fourth Ward Project's development.
Like the Overline Residences apartments next door, Forth Atlanta was designed by New York-based Morris Adjmi Architects. New City picked Philadelphia-based Method Co. to operate the hotel property.
Expect 196 luxury hotel rooms and 39 apartment-style, furnished units designed for longer stays, continuing a flex-stay trend seen around Midtown and at nearby Ponce City Market’s second phase.
Plans call for a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant and bar to operate beside the pool.
Forth Atlanta will also feature four food-and-beverage concepts, a members-only social club, an outdoor pool with cabanas for guests and club members, and a flex venue capable of hosting 350 people, plus coworking spaces. (On the F&B front, expect a full-service Italian steakhouse, a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant and bar beside the pool, a rooftop cocktail lounge, as well as a café and bar in the lobby.)
As ATL development hawks may recall, New City purchased the 11-acre former Georgia Power property in 2018 and started work on all of phase one, including hotel infrastructure, in the pandemic summer of 2020. Have a look at where it all stands today, from many angles above, in the gallery.
