 Press play to listen while you scroll! 

ALMOST ALWAYS, more people are better than fewer; a diverse population is better than a homogenous one; and the most strategic scenario for growth includes everyone. “

-Atlanta City Design

“Our Neighborhood is a community of diversity, valuing the ability for people of all ages, incomes, occupations and stages of life. We’re a community of affordability, ensuring that all ages & incomes have the opportunity to reside in the community. It is clear that residents in our neighborhood support and desire mixed-income developments that help to ensure that people that work in the area are also able to live in the area, helping to guarantee continued diversity in the community.”

***60% AMI at 90-98 Whitefoord will provide up to 11 units of new, safe, clean housing for Neighbors in Edgewood who make less than $36,000 per year and an additional 2 bedroom unit for someone who makes less than $42,000 per year.

Why MRMU

Market Rate Rents

SPOKE:

1,000 sq ft 2/2 - $2,300
730 sq ft 1/1 - $1,765

PARLIAMENT

1,000 sq ft 2/2 - $1,900
730 sq ft 1/1 - $1,625

***Depending on the unit, The Parliament at market rate is 10-20% more affordable than Spoke. This equates to the difference in needing to make at least $85k (SPOKE) & $68k (The Parliament) for a 2 bedroom apartment. Or the difference of $65k (Spoke) & $58k (The Parliament) on one bedrooms. 

The Parliament includes 5 units of affordable housing at 80% AMI.

20%

Only 27% of Atlanta Public School teachers live within the City of Atlanta.

27%

Less than 20% of Atlanta Police
live in the City of Atlanta.

Missing Middle and MRMU housing create the opportunity for people that serve a community to live in the community.

"The amount of traffic that is expected to be generated by the project will not be significant enough to have major impact on adjacent roadways. In addition we like the fact that the proposed driveway would be a single curb cut located on a side street."     -ATL DOT
