Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. (ABI) celebrated the ribbon cutting and grand opening of Parkside on Wednesday, June 1, 2022. Prestwick Development Company constructed the 100 percent affordable housing community on Atlanta’s Westside.

Appearing with Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, Invest Atlanta’s Dr. Eloisa Klementich, Atlanta City Councilmember Dustin Hillis and executives from Prestwick Company, Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. President & CEO Clyde Higgs said, “At the end of the day, it’s about the people. This brick and metal and wood that you see is just a conduit for outcomes that we want. When you think about the BeltLine vision, this represents what we’re trying to do: access to jobs, transportation options, affordable housing, arts and culture, access to greenspace. It really is all about collaboration of all our partners to get this done.”

Said Mayor Dickens, “We’ve all been really excited about this day and this project. That’s important to where we’re going in the city. Housing is foundational to a community’s health and right here, right now we don’t have enough of it in Atlanta. At this time, we’re in a fight to do all we can to establish more and more and more affordable housing at the right price point to accommodate all of our residents. Since January, we’ve made one of largest investments in housing in Atlanta’s history.”
