Westbound at The Works hits topping-out milestone, opening of preview center with first resident move-ins planned for July 2023
Selig Development, the development arm of Selig Enterprises, and its joint venture partner GID, a real estate owner and fiduciary that invests in multiple asset classes, today celebrate the topping out of Westbound at The Works, the 306-unit multifamily project underway at Selig’s 80-acre adaptive reuse development, The Works, in Atlanta’s Upper Westside. The team also announces the opening of the Westbound at The Works Preview Center, which is located on property at 202A Chattahoochee Row and features a completed model unit. Selig and GID enlisted RangeWater to lead leasing and property management of the residential project. Westbound at The Works will welcome its first residents by July 2023, with preleasing set to start in January 2023.
“The topping out of Westbound at The Works and opening of the Preview Center represents an important milestone for the Selig/GID team,” said Malloy Peterson, Senior Vice President for Selig Development. “With Westbound at The Works, we have created a unique residential offering and experience that caters to the needs of our residents with best-in-class retail, dining and entertainment at their doorsteps and the modern amenities they desire. We look forward to welcoming future residents to our newly opened Preview Center to learn more about the development and tour our model unit.”
Located at the property’s main entrance, along Chattahoochee Ave and Chattahoochee Row, Westbound at The Works will feature a mix of floorplans, comprising 70% one-bedroom and 30% two-bedroom units. The five-story residential project will include a 547-space parking garage and state-of-the-art amenities that overlook The Camp, the property’s one-acre greenspace. Future residents will have access to multiple private upscale offerings, including an indoor/outdoor fitness area, coworking area, game room with indoor/outdoor bar, poolside open air TV lounge, and pool courtyard with communal kitchens and a multitude of diverse outdoor lounging areas.
Designed by Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio (RJTR) and constructed by Brasfield & Gorrie, Westbound at The Works mirrors the unique, industrial aesthetic of the neighborhood, featuring charcoal gray brick, modern dark bronze windows and fiber cementitious paneling with pops of copper color. The Westbound at The Works Preview Center is open for future residents to tour every Saturday from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon-5 p.m. Hours will expand later this year.
“We are proud to celebrate this important milestone with Selig as we work together to deliver this incredible community at The Works,” says Greg Bates, CEO of GID. “With well-appointed amenities and an unbeatable location, Westbound at The Works will be an iconic community that demonstrates our continued commitment to the Atlanta market.”
Once delivered, Westbound at The Works will complete the development’s Phase One, which spans 27 acres and is home to 184,000 square feet of retail and 125,000 square feet of office space.
