Lincoln Property Company, an international real estate developer, investor and third party services firm, today announced the topping out of 765 Echo inside the 19-acre mixed-use village known as Echo Street West in Atlanta’s historic Westside. With the last beam placed atop 765 Echo, all components of the first phase of the project have topped out. Echo Street West’s first phase of construction that includes office, retail, residential, Guardian Works, Guardian Studios and the Westside Motor Lounge is on target to be complete by spring 2023.
The four-story, 300,000-square-foot office building is being constructed with cross-laminated timber, which can reduce carbon emissions associated with manufacturing, transporting and installing building materials by 13–26.5%, according to a report published on MDPI. As Atlanta’s first spec exterior core office building, the mid-rise structure features 29,000 square feet of tenant balconies large enough for outdoor conferencing, fitness and social gatherings. 765 Echo also offers core-free floor plates with 15’ to 20’ high windows and unobstructed 360 degree views. The sustainable building uses mass timber construction and is located adjacent to a hospitality-like, 3,500-square-foot tenant amenity center with flexible meeting space, outdoor patio and full bar. 765 Echo is surrounded by 6.5 acres of outdoor recreation, fitness and entertainment spaces including a community bike trail and secluded hammock park.
“Reaching this phase of construction at Echo Street West marks a huge moment for Lincoln Property Company and our capital partner, Bridge Investments, as our vision to create a community guided by the principles of innovation, inclusivity, connection and sustainability is coming to life,” said Tony Bartlett, executive vice president at Lincoln Property Company. “Located in a Federal Opportunity Zone right off of the recently expanded Westside Beltline Connector Trail, we continue to be inspired by the progress of this interconnected mixed-use village and how it’s becoming a center of gravity and catalyst for growth within the community. We are looking forward to the exciting project milestones to come and our continued partnership with local nonprofits and neighborhood groups, and of course, welcoming new residents, tenants and businesses beginning next year.”
