New Beltline community envisioned for Blandtown warehouse district

New Beltline community envisioned for Blandtown warehouse district - Y'[email protected]

New Beltline community envisioned for Blandtown warehouse district Josh GreenThu, 04/30/2026 - 08:21Due west of Atlantic Station, plans are percolating that would continue two widespread, enduring Atlanta trends over the past decade: conversion of older warehouse spaces and construction of hundreds of apartments within a stone’s throw of Beltline trails. Developers shared plans this week with Urbanize Atlanta that call for remaking the Lumberyard Office Lofts district in Blandtown—the longtime home of Bone Garden Cantina, a popular Mexican restaurant, among other businesses—into a denser, mixed-use community. The Lumberyards property, located at 1425 Ellsworth Industrial Boulevard, is just north of the Beltline’s Northwest Trail segment opened [https://atlanta.urbanize.city/post/photos-new-beltline-trail-fresh-perspectives-atl] last fall. It’s also across the street from the Woodall Rail Trail [https://atlanta.urbanize.city/post/woodall-rail-silver-comet-connector-trail-photos], which opened last year as a direct connection to The Works district—and soon, to Cobb County as part of the Silver Comet Connector trail network.  Other attractions across the street include renowned restaurant Bacchanalia and Topgolf Atlanta. The Lumberyards expansion project is being put together by developers Robles Partners and Crescent Communities. The latter is a Charlotte-based, active intown developer with two other fresh projects in the neighborhood: Novel Blandtown [https://atlanta.urbanize.city/post/novel-blandtown-project-images-top-out-huff-road-corridor] and Novel West Midtown [https://atlanta.urbanize.city/post/novel-west-midtown-blandtown-350-more-apartments-open-for-rent]. alt [https://atlanta.urbanize.city/sites/default/files/styles/950w/public/2026-04/Lumberyard%20Office%20Lofts%20Crescent%20Blandtown%20map%201.png?itok=hn8nYSwY]https://atlanta.urbanize.city/sites/default/files/styles/1140w/public/2026-04/Lumberyard%20Office%20Lofts%20Crescent%20Blandtown%20map%201.png?itok=zVxZI50oRobles Partners/Mimms Enterprisesalt [https://atlanta.urbanize.city/sites/default/files/styles/950w/public/2026-04/street%20view%20today%20Lumberyard%20Office%20Lofts%20Crescent%20Blandtown%20.png?itok=EQm1omJt]https://atlanta.urbanize.city/sites/default/files/styles/1140w/public/2026-04/street%20view%20today%20Lumberyard%20Office%20Lofts%20Crescent%20Blandtown%20.png?itok=VIarZ307Lumberyards Office Lofts’ frontage (and recognizable Bone Garden skeleton mascot) along Ellsworth Industrial Boulevard.

Google Maps/UAThe development partners filed plans April 17 for review by a Department of City Planning committee that call for new buildings surrounding modified warehouse spaces at Lumberyards. According to Eric Liebendorfer, Crescent’s multifamily managing director in Atlanta, the overall goal at Lumberyards is to create an amenitized destination for Beltline patrons. “This location has the opportunity to become the heart of the Westside Beltline,” Liebendorfer wrote via email. “We will be pursuing a direct connection to the Beltline into the development.” (That connection would be placed south of current warehouses, according to site plans.)   The scope calls for building roughly 290 apartments in a mid-rise structure that wraps and conceals a new parking deck. According to Liebendorfer, 10 percent of those units would be reserved for affordable housing at 60 percent Area Median Income levels. For new residential developments, inclusion of affordable housing is mandated by Beltline zoning rules near trails.  Elsewhere, plans call for shortening some existing buildings but keeping them in place. The Lumberyards tenant lineup “will be repositioned to be more Beltline friendly, with the inclusion of [food-and-beverage options] and potential entertainment offerings,” per Liebendorfer. Other additions call for a “robust” outdoor zone that complements new retail, featuring al fresca dining, lawn games, possibly food trucks, and more, per the developer. alt [https://atlanta.urbanize.city/sites/default/files/styles/950w/public/2026-04/today%20Lumberyard%20Office%20Lofts%20Crescent%20Blandtown%20.png?itok=GKEJGTu3]https://atlanta.urbanize.city/sites/default/files/styles/1140w/public/2026-04/today%20Lumberyard%20Office%20Lofts%20Crescent%20Blandtown%20.png?itok=qgysVpOmCurrent scope of Lumberyard Office Lofts, with Ellsworth Industrial Boulevard at left and the Northwest Trail offscreen at bottom.

It’s considered a crucial structure for the East Atlanta Historic District, which joined the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.
