Local brief
110 apartments proposed for Monroe Drive’s highway-side wedge
City paperwork describes 11 affordable apartments and projects completion in December 2028. Zoning Review Board review is scheduled for December 3.
A wedge of land between Monroe Drive and Interstate 85 could hold 110 apartments under a rezoning proposal from Everlign Development Company. The application covers 1.442 acres at 1958 Monroe Drive NE in Atlanta, Georgia.[1]
Filed October 6, 2026, the application seeks to change the property from light-industrial zoning to mixed residential-commercial zoning while keeping its Beltline Overlay. The listed owner is 1958 Monroe Partners LLC.[1]
The master rezoning plan places the building along Monroe Drive, with a courtyard behind it and parking toward the highway. It lists 120 vehicle parking spaces and a 10-foot clear sidewalk zone along Monroe.[1]
The packet’s housing-impact statement describes 11 of the 110 apartments—10%—as affordable at 60% of area median income. It places the other 99 above 80% of area median income and projects completion in December 2028.[1]
Those are proposal figures, not a guarantee of what will be built. The statement says its analysis relies on applicant-provided information and cautions that unit counts, rents and other details can change as developers assess market conditions.[1]
The Zoning Committee of the Whole’s draft November 16 agenda lists ordinance 26-O-1654 for first reading. The Zoning Review Board lists case Z-26-64 for December 3 at 6 p.m. in the second-floor City Council Chambers. These records describe a proposal moving through review, not a completed rezoning approval.[1][2]
