Swinerton Begins Construction on Hearthside Riverdale
Wednesday, September 25th, 2024
Swinerton, an industry-leading commercial general contractor with offices nationwide, continues to establish its authority in the multifamily market with its sixth project with OneStreet Residential, HearthSide Riverdale. The demolition of the existing single-family homes on the 2.64-acre site in the South Atlanta suburb of Riverdale, Ga. is underway. The $16.4 million construction project is expected to be complete in early 2026.
“This newest project comes on the heels of another successful OneStreet affordable housing community in Lawrenceville, Ga. that we completed last year,” says Roya Vermillion, Preconstruction Executive, Atlanta Division, Swinerton. “HearthSide Lawrenceville is another example of how we’ve built our reputation for high standards of excellence and our ability to manage a project not only with flexibility and competence but also with a relentless pursuit of delivering on-schedule and on-budget.” Swinerton received the prestigious Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) South Atlanta Project Achievement Award for HearthSide Lawrenceville.
Located at 6795 Powers Street, HearthSide Riverdale includes 70 one- and two-bedroom apartment homes in a single-building community. With twelve units available at market rate, the remaining 58 are reserved as affordable housing for senior residents earning less than 60 percent of the area’s median income. The gated complex features a community room, laundry room, fitness center, garden beds and pet-friendly amenities. A 700-square foot bistro brings dining and hospitality amenities to the residents and the surrounding community.
As the general contractor, Swinerton oversees the demolition, ground-up construction, finishings, landscaping and hardscaping. The multifamily development was designed by Boulder, Colo.-based DTJ Design.
Since expanding to the Southeast in 2018, the Atlanta Division has constructed $358 million of commercial and multifamily environments – including more than 11,000 completed residential units throughout metro Atlanta, with more than 700 under construction or in the pipeline. The expert Atlanta team of nearly 60 construction professionals also specializes in aviation, corporate interiors, self-storage and healthcare.
