Permits Issued for 247-Unit Alta West Midtown at 1593 Huber St

Permits have been issued for Alta West Midtown, a mixed-use apartment development at 1593 Huber Street NW in West Midtown. The permits total roughly $38.5 million in construction value across four permits of $3.12 million, $18.26 million, $6.47 million, and $10.64 million. The $3.12 million permit covers land development; the other three are building permits. Wood Partners is developing the project through WP South Acquisitions LLC, with architecture by Dynamik Design.

The project includes 247 apartments from studios to three-bedrooms, plus greenspace and amenities. Thirty-eight units (15 percent) are reserved for households at or below 80 percent of AMI. Total project cost is estimated at $75 million.

The site is a former tire recycling facility, making this a brownfield redevelopment. Plans include roughly $750,000 in stormwater infrastructure improvements. Develop Fulton preliminarily approved a $3.9 million tax incentive on June 23, 2026. The project is projected to generate more than $10 million in tax revenue over the 10-year incentive period, versus roughly $31,000 annually from the current site. Construction is expected to create 200 jobs, with 20 full-time and 25 part-time permanent positions to follow.

The property sits about two blocks from the Beltline's Northwest Trail, near Topgolf Atlanta and Ellsworth Industrial Boulevard. The site was previously part of a stalled 845-unit, 9-acre proposal called Huber West Midtown by Columbia Ventures and Radco. Wood Partners plans to close on the property by the end of 2026 and complete construction by 2028.
