Senya Zaitsev, head of multifamily and single-family design-build firm Sunny Etc.<\/a>, has now shared project renderings and other details illustrating what\u2019s to come at the site, which is also near investment magnets Historic Fourth Ward Park and the Atlanta Beltline\u2019s Eastside Trail.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n Zaitsev said his firm had originally planned for a more \u201cmissing middle\u201d approach on the corner that would have seen less expensive housing options. Specifically, designs called for a three-story multifamily building with 12 units and an affordability component, allowable under the City of Atlanta\u2019s zoning typology MR-MU, for missing middle, passed in 2019. The intent, he said, was to echo apartments and townhomes in nearby blocks.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cUnfortunately, nearby single-family owners opposed that plan back in 2021, so it was scaled down to three single-family homes,\u201d Zaitsev wrote via email. \u201cInterestingly, many of those same neighbors have since sold their homes.\u201d<\/p>\n Now, site plans call for three standalone modern houses\u2014each with four bedrooms, plus a study, and three and \u00bd bathrooms\u2014beneath rooftop hangouts with city views that are rated for hot tubs, per Zaitsev.\u00a0<\/p>\n Additional features will include lock-off suites, elevator infrastructure, small yards, decks off living areas, and two-car garages accessible from behind the homes.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n \n Based on current market conditions, Zaitsev said he expects the houses to list in the $1.4-million range each, citing a new, larger modern-style house<\/a> that fetched north of $1.7 million a few doors down last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe are also considering listing these for pre-sale so that potential buyers can customize the interior finishes,\u201d he noted. \u201cHopefully, these will be finished before the World Cup extravaganza.\u201d<\/p>\n Permitting records indicate the houses will total just over 2,200 square feet each. [UPDATE: 5:48 p.m., Nov. 12: Builders say square footages will clock in at roughly 2,700 square feet of heated space.]\u00a0<\/p>\n The Fortune Street location counts a \u201cVery Walkable\u201d Walk Score of 83\/100 and equally strong Bike Score (83), while the Transit Score (51) ranks as merely \u201cGood Transit.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \n Elsewhere in the neighborhood, Sunny Etc. built the\u00a0Winton Flats<\/a>\u00a0project in 2023, which was described as Atlanta\u2019s original \u201cmissing middle\u201d housing concept.\u00a0<\/p>\n Their portfolio also includes modern townhomes in Mechanicsville, the\u00a0Metro Ville project<\/a>,\u00a0that took shape and sold out seven years ago, among other projects.\u00a0<\/p>\n Swing up to the gallery for more images and context. \u00a0<\/p>\n …<\/p>\n Follow us on social media:\u00a0<\/p>\n Twitter<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\/and now:\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0Old Fourth Ward news, discussion<\/a>\u00a0(Urbanize Atlanta)\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/a>
