Zoning Board Backs 375-Unit Mixed-Use Project at 780-798 Ponce de Leon

Atlanta's Zoning Review Board has recommended approval of Selig Enterprises' rezoning for a mixed-use redevelopment at 780-798 Ponce de Leon Ave NE in Virginia-Highland. Designed by Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio, the 13-story, 150-foot project will include 375 residential units, with 57 designated affordable. The rezoning still needs a City Council vote.

The project replaces existing structures with sidewalk-level retail, a greenspace buffer, and a full amenity package. The address was updated from 790-798 to 780-798 Ponce de Leon Ave NE to reflect the expanded site.

The site sits along the Ponce de Leon corridor connecting Midtown to Decatur, with MARTA bus service on the avenue and proximity to the BeltLine Eastside Trail.

Correction, Oct. 21, 2026: An earlier version of this story said the project had been approved, called it 14 stories and placed it in Poncey-Highland. The Zoning Review Board recommended approval on Aug. 6, with the City Council vote still ahead; the plan is about 13 stories, in Virginia-Highland.
