First Residents, Art Mural Coming To Edge On The BeltLine

ATLANTA, GA -- North American Properties has announced its newest mixed-use community, Edge, will welcome its first residents and unveil a prominent art installation in December. The unveiling will also serve as the opening of the newest section of the Beltline’s Eastside trail connecting Edgewood Avenue to DeKalb Avenue. The nine-story mural was created by four Atlanta artists: Molly Rose Freeman, Lela Brunet Raymond, Laura Vela, and Lauren Pallotta.

Edge will also feature a collection of large metal sculptures curated by one of the original founders of Mellow Mushroom, Banks Weinstein.

Another design feature of the mixed-use community is the heated pool in a tropical courtyard setting, featuring 2 dozen palms trees reaching up two stories in height. Other outdoor resident amenities will feature a rooftop Beltline overlook patio with soft seating and games, fire pits and grills for entertaining.

With overall construction slated to be completed in July 2019, the community will feature 350 multifamily apartments, 10 percent of which will be dedicated to workforce housing, along with 27,000 square feet of retail, dining and loft office space fronting the Beltline.

A 10,000-square-foot restaurant and rooftop patio has been created by former Top Chef contestant and famed Atlanta restaurateur Kevin Gillespie. The sister concept to Gunshow, Cold Beer will be a cocktail-forward destination featuring a menu of shareable dishes, communal seating, interactive service and 6,000 square feet of patio space overlooking the BeltLine. Edge will also include a 3,300-square-foot Shake Shack, marking Atlanta’s second location and the first along the BeltLine.

Revelator Coffee will also open a new wine bar concept, Hazel Jane’s Wine & Coffee, that will be operated under the direction of sommelier Melissa Davis of Staplehouse and Cakes & Ale restaurants.
