Greystar Begins Construction on Its First Development in The City of Pittsburgh with 231-Unit Ophelia Mixed-Use Apartment Community

PITTSBURGH, PA – Greystar, a global leader in the investment, development, and management of real estate, including rental housing, logistics, and life sciences, announced the start of construction on Ophelia, its first apartment development in the city of Pittsburgh.
“Greystar is excited to make its entry into Pittsburgh in partnership with ECHO Realty,” George Hayward, Senior Director of Development at Greystar, said. “Together we are transforming a legacy retail strip center into a unique mixed-use project, signifying the dramatic evolution of the East Liberty and Shadyside neighborhoods. We expect this to be the first of many Greystar development projects in the city.”
The new apartment community will have 231 apartment homes for rent with 35 units dedicated to the city’s affordable housing program. ECHO Realty’s retail portion, The Meridian, will have 44,000 sq. ft. of restaurant and retail space that includes Shake Shack and Barnes and Noble as well as a 36,000 sq. ft. Market District grocery store, which will combine with Greystar’s apartment community to create a best-in-class mixed-use development.
“We are happy to partner with Greystar to bring this project to the neighborhood,” Philip Bishop, Senior Vice President at ECHO Realty, said. “We look forward to bringing back a brand new grocery store, along with other necessity-based retailers, to meet the needs of the community. We are excited to see Greystar’s vision for Ophelia come to life on the site. The new apartment community will provide a new, quality option for Pittsburgh renters.”
Ophelia will have studio, one-, and two-bedroom layouts with high-end finishes and amenities. The interior design will be a nod to the Shadyside neighborhood’s Victorian architecture with a modern take on gilded-age aesthetics. Amenities will include a fitness center with outdoor workout area, co-working space, billiards and bar area in the club room, pool, grilling and lawn area.
The Meridian project is in a prominent location at the intersection of Penn Ave. and Shady Ave. The site is close to Bakery Square, which is home to Google and other tech and life science-oriented offices as well as retail including Trader Joe’s, Target and restaurants along Penn Ave. and Walnut Street. The new East Liberty Bus Rapid Transit station is across the street, providing easy access to downtown and Oakland.
“Pittsburgh has a lot to offer with several of the country’s best universities—Pitt, Carnegie Mellon and Duquesne—and significant growth in the tech industry,” Hayward said. “There is a demand for class A for-rent housing, yet supply has lagged. We are excited to help meet that demand.”

Georgia-Pacific Unveils Plans to Transform Its Iconic Headquarters into a Historic Mixed-Use Hub for Living and Innovation in Atlanta

ATLANTA, GA – Georgia-Pacific announced initial plans for one of the country’s largest mixed-use redevelopments and the intent to transform its iconic 51-story world headquarters and the surrounding city block into a thriving center for innovation and community engagement. The prestigious downtown location will be reimagined into a dynamic mix of residential living, modern office spaces, retail, restaurants and a landscaped central plaza for gathering. This project reaffirms Georgia-Pacific’s commitment to the future of Downtown Atlanta and promises to set a new standard for adaptive reuse.
The proposed development, scheduled for completion in fall 2027, includes the following:

More than 400 apartment units on the tower’s uppermost floors, among the highest in the Southeast
+/- 125,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and entertainment space
+/- 600,000 square feet of Class A office space anchored by Georgia-Pacific and Koch
+/- 35,000 square feet dedicated to a large central plaza
More than 2,100 parking spaces plus adjacent MARTA and Atlanta Streetcar transportation access
Future multi-phase development plans include opportunities for a hotel and additional retail and residences

“If realized, this will be more than just a redevelopment; it has the potential to generate economic growth and create mutual benefit for the city, local businesses, their employees, Georgia-Pacific employees and our vibrant community,” said Christian Fischer, president and CEO of Georgia-Pacific. “The office landscape has changed, and we recognize that the adaptive reuse of our site and office tower can create greater long-term value. We are also acutely aware of the need for more residential, shopping, dining, and entertainment options in our downtown neighborhood, which is why Georgia-Pacific is excited to provide a space that will offer unmatched opportunity in Downtown Atlanta.”
Georgia-Pacific has assembled a team of industry-leading experts to bring this project to life, including an in-house, mixed-use development team responsible for leading both the redevelopment efforts and the go-to-market strategy and capitalization of the project. External partners include Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio, architect of record; Healy Weatherholtz, retail broker; Kimley-Horn, civil engineering; Studio Saint, interior design; Brasfield & Gorrie, preconstruction; and Transwestern, consulting and property management.
“A thoughtful mixed-use project of this scale on Peachtree promises to launch a long-awaited renaissance for our city’s most important main street business district,” said Clark Dean of Transwestern’s Transaction Sciences Group, who has consulted on this transformational project since its inception.
The ambitious undertaking will blend modern design with the building’s historic presence, revitalizing this prestigious downtown address as the cultural heart of Atlanta.
“This transformative redevelopment is a significant step in moving Atlanta forward, turning an important block in the heart of the city into a vibrant and welcoming destination that breathes new life into downtown. This project aligns with many of our important ‘Moving Atlanta Forward’ initiatives, including expanding much needed housing options and fostering economic revitalization that supports local businesses,” said Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens. “With redesigned public spaces, new retail and restaurants, as well as easy access to public transit, we are creating a unique downtown neighborhood that will bring fresh energy to our city. This development will draw residents, visitors, and businesses alike, reinforcing our vision of a safe, inclusive, and thriving downtown—one that is family-friendly and nurtures new talent. It’s about building a better Atlanta for everyone—today and for the future.”
This project also promises to be a boon for surrounding businesses by creating a welcoming neighborhood with easy access to amenities and entertainment for companies and their employees seeking to work in the downtown area.
“Georgia-Pacific’s initial plans for a transformative redevelopment of this scale in the heart of Atlanta align perfectly with our vision to reimagine Downtown,” said Katie Kirkpatrick, president & CEO of the Metro Atlanta Chamber. “A catalyst for economic growth, this project will add momentum to others already underway and contribute to a world-class experience and vibrant neighborhood for years to come.”
The Georgia-Pacific Center has been an architectural landmark since its completion in 1982. Notable for its iconic stair-like design made of pink granite, it occupies the historic site of DeGive’s Grand Opera House, later the Loew’s Grand Theatre, where “Gone with the Wind” premiered in 1939. With its distinctive design and historical significance, this project will pay homage to Atlanta’s rich cultural past while shaping its dynamic future.

Middleburg Communities to Break Ground on 260-Unit Hamlet Quail Crossing Build-to-Rent Community in Raleigh-Durham Market

WAKE FOREST, NC – Middleburg Communities announced it is slated to break ground this month on Hamlet Quail Crossing, a 260-unit BTR (built-to-rent) community in Wake Forest, North Carolina, part of the Raleigh-Durham MSA. The community will feature 234 detached cottages and 26 duplex units at full build out, and pre-leasing is expected to begin Q3 2025. Hamlet Quail Crossing will be the eighth BTR development that Middleburg has started during the past three years.
The Raleigh MSA has attracted significant attention from capital and consumers alike and for good reason, said TJ Sedeski, Managing Director of Investments at Middleburg. The employment and education opportunities, pro-business policy, and work/life balance make it a compelling place to both live and invest and we believe we re meeting an unmet demand for high-quality rental cottages which do not currently exist in the Wake Forest submarket.
Hamlet Quail Crossing is located at 1423 Deerfield Drive, about 5 minutes from historic downtown Wake Forest and adjacent to a heavily trafficked thoroughfare that connects residents to Route 1 which leads to the major Raleigh job centers within a 30-minute commute including Downtown Raleigh, Research Triangle Park, and North Hills, to name a few.
Sedeski continued: The Town of Wake Forest has maintained a small-town feel throughout a period of meaningful commercial growth. Our strategic location benefits from a high volume of cars which pass by the property on a daily basis, proximity to the historic downtown area which features an array of charming shops and restaurants and convenient access to new retail developments anchored by Wegmans and Lowes Foods. Additionally, we re grateful to Synovus Bank for their continued support and confidence in our organization.
Hamlet Quail Crossing follows Middleburg design standards which include a full suite of amenities, abundant open green spaces, and walkable streetscapes. The community will include 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom floorplans ranging from 790 to 1,733 square feet. All units will feature stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and in-unit washers and dryers. Residents will have access to best-in-class amenities, including a clubhouse with a pool and fitness center, a dog park and pet spa, co-working spaces, and electric vehicle charging stations.

S2 Capital Marks Expansion into Colorado with Acquisition of 201-Unit Dartmouth Woods Apartment Community in Suburban Denver

LAKEWOOD, CO – S2 Capital, a national vertically integrated multifamily investment manager, announced the acquisition of Dartmouth Woods, a 201-unit, garden-style multifamily apartment community built in 1990 and located in South Lakewood, one of the most attractive submarkets of Denver, CO. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Dartmouth Woods is located at 10025 W. Dartmouth Avenue in Lakewood. The property consists of modern two- and three-story buildings in an area of robust demographics with an average household income of $107,000, a median home price of $585,000 and highly-rated schools. S2 plans interior renovations that will include stainless steel appliances, modern lighting, new flooring and updated cabinets along with extensive renovations to the exterior and amenities to provide residents an enhanced living experience.
Ryan Everett, Vice President of Acquisitions at S2 Capital, said, “We have been evaluating potential transactions in the Denver market for two years and are very excited to be making our first investment in the area. Including the Dartmouth Woods transaction, S2 has acquired 1,865 units across Texas, North Carolina, Florida and now Colorado over the last 12 months. This represents $300+ million of total acquisitions the past 12 months, positioning the firm as a top-25 buyer of multifamily in Sunbelt markets.”
“Our conviction remains strong that multifamily has become attractively repriced in the short term due to excessive leverage in the system and pressure from interest rates on property cash flows, but the long-term outlook for housing in our target markets remains a compelling investment thesis at these prices for well capitalized investors,” added Ryan Everett.
S2 believes that the sharp reduction in new construction permits and starts, interest rate cuts signaled by the Federal Reserve, and various levels of stress, present a unique moment for investors with discretionary vehicles who are well-positioned to capitalize on these opportunities.

Abacus Capital and Partners Set to Deliver Elevated Living in Charlotte’s South End with The Campbell Boutique Multifamily Community

CHARLOTTE, NC – The Campbell, a 12-story, 117-unit boutique multifamily community in the heart of Charlotte’s South End and adjacent to the charming Dilworth neighborhood, announced that it is now pre-leasing units with move-ins starting this month. Abacus Capital developed the project in partnership with JE Dunn Capital Partners and L&B Realty Advisors. Upon delivery, The Campbell will be professionally managed by Greystar.
“We’re very excited to begin pre-leasing at The Campbell,”Mason Ellerbe, a Partner at Abacus Capital said. “The boutique scale, unimpeded city views, designer finishes and unique and highly walkable location on the Dilworth side of South End will set this project apart from the multifamily stock that has historically been built in the submarket.”
The Campbell’s residences will be differentiated from the rest of the South End rental submarket by the generous size of its units, averaging nearly 1,200 SF, roughly 50% larger than the “typical” South End apartment.
With one-, two- and three-bedroom floorplans that range from 746 SF to 1,718 SF The Campbell is designed to cater to the city’s most discerning renters. Designer finishes include chef’s kitchens equipped with gas stoves, floor-to-ceiling windows, custom walk-in closets and smart technology throughout. Built-in wine fridges and expansive balcony terraces will be a standard feature in the majority of The Campbell’s residences. The parking garage will occupy floors one through four with apartments across floors five through twelve. Bordered by the Dilworth neighborhood and surrounding low-rise buildings, every apartment will have a sweeping view above the city’s famous tree canopy.
A sky terrace on the twelfth floor with city skyline views is the highlight of the community amenities. Others include a state-of-the-art fitness center, resident lounge with golf simulator and catering kitchen, private co-working spaces with a reservable conference room, dedicated parking garage with gated access, dog spa and bike room as well as onsite retail.
The Campbell will boast a Walk Score of 96. The community provides convenient access to local retail and transportation options, with Publix located 0.1 miles away and the East-West Lynx Light Rail station 0.25 miles away.
Wes McAdams, managing partner at Abacus Capital, said, “We intentionally positioned the project to appeal to a more discerning renter cohort than the average South End apartment building. With the best retail and restaurants in South End at Atherton Mill and the Design District out The Campbell’s front door, and the historic Dilworth neighborhood’s tree-lined streets out its back door, future residents should be able to enjoy all the benefits of elevated city living,” he said.
The Campbell was developed on the historical site of Campbell’s Greenhouses, a beloved plant nursery that supplied residents of the city with beautiful orchids for decades before selling in late 2022 to make way for Abacus’ high-rise apartment project by the same name. Residents can expect to see subtle nods to the site’s botanical history in The Campbell’s custom art and curated interior design throughout the project.
