ATLANTA–(URBANIZE ATLANTA<\/a>) \u2013 Big plans are cooking for relatively small acreage in the heart of Kirkwood\u2019s historic commercial district.<\/p>\n

Where barbecue concepts had operated for a decade, a \u201ctransformative redevelopment\u201d is in the works by a local team that aims to meld attainable housing, retail space, and offices with AI-powered, innovative designs, officials tell Urbanize Atlanta.<\/p>\n

Led by Atlanta-based developer Stryant, the mixed-use proposal calls for turning a standalone restaurant building and parking lot at 1976 Hosea L. Williams Drive into two eateries, an office headquarters, and what\u2019s described as \u201c52 professionally managed micro units,\u201d all beneath a solar-shaded rooftop event area, according to project leaders.<\/p>\n

The half-acre site was long home to Anna\u2019s BBQ and another barbecue restaurant more recently. Stryant closed on the property in May for $910,000, per\u00a0listings<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The micro units will be managed by co-living platform\u00a0PadSplit<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and designed to provide affordable, quality living options. According to Stryant cofounder Stan Sugarman, the furnished apartments will have flexible terms\u2014six months or longer\u2014with internet and utilities included in monthly rents. (We\u2019ve asked for details on rents and size of units and will update this story should those come.)<\/p>\n

The office portion will be Stryant\u2019s customer meeting space but will also be available for other local businesses to rent, Sugarman tells Urbanize Atlanta.<\/p>\n

Beyond the solar panels, sustainable features call for both EV charging stations and no parking requirements, a means to encourage alternate forms of transportation for a site served by city buses and bike lanes.<\/p>\n

Sugarman said his company\u2019s goal is to break ground in summer 2026 and deliver the project late the following year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Overview<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Atlanta-based tech company\u00a0cove<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0employed its AI-powered feasibility tool called Vitras.ai to help boost the building\u2019s density, \u201ctripling the unit count from 16 to 52 without zoning delays, providing attainable housing in a highly walkable, downtown location,\u201d according to a project description.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on Atlanta\u2019s eastside, Stryant\u2019s recent projects have included affordable housing ventures\u00a0Ralph David House<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and an infill corner build at\u00a0111 Moreland Ave.<\/strong><\/a>, both in Reynoldstown. Other Stryant projects in the city include the adaptive-reuse conversion of the 1912\u00a0George W. Adair School<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in Adair Park.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in Kirkwood, around the corner from the downtown proposal, the company\u2019s preliminary plans for an affordable housing venture for formerly homeless people on church-owned property on one of Kirkwood\u2019s best-known residential streets have\u00a0caused a stir<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0among some neighbors.<\/p>\n

Anna\u2019s, the popular barbecue joint, was in business in Kirkwood for nine years but\u00a0shuttered<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in 2022 when owner Anna Phelps decided to retire and open a\u00a0food truck<\/strong><\/a>. Following Anna\u2019s closure, the building operated for a while as Georgia Boy BBQ.<\/p>\n

The property is situated across the street from another mixed-use hub, Kirkwood Station, built in the mid-aughts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
