Mixed-use apartment building to go up near SunTrust Park

Right now, if a metro Atlanta resident said they lived in the Modera apartments, it would only mean that they resided in Morningside.

But in the future, it could also mean they lived in Buckhead. Or Sandy Springs. Or Midtown. Or Vinings.

A national development company, Mill Creek Residential, is in the process of bringing four new Atlanta concepts to fruition. That’s in addition to the already-open Modera Morningsidewhere rent prices range from $1,175 to $3,035.

One of these in-development concepts is Modera Vinings, a mixed-use apartment building with “six stories atop 5,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and a below-grade parking garage,” according to the website.

Part of the Cumberland Improvement District of Cobb County, the community located at 3205 Cumberland Blvd. will be at the start of the Silver Comet Trail and within a few miles of SunTrust Park.

[ Ed. Note:  It appears that a lot of upscale apartments may be competing for the attention of young professionals in the southern Cobb region… and the mention of SunTrust Park here in this announcement is likely not an accident, either, as these are probably intended to compete with the new apartment offerings on the stadium site, as noted previously.

Certainly, growth in Cobb is starting to blossom… which is kinda what the Braves had suggested might start happening with their presence.

Next: Can I Get Some Holland Days With This?

Would this specific complex be launching here without the Atlanta Braves’ in the area? Unclear, but it is fair to suggest that for developers looking for a place to build, jumping on this bandwagon makes all of the economic sense in the world for them. ]
