• The property is located at 335 Sawtell Ave, Atlanta GA 30315
• Parcel ID: 14 00390002006

The property was designated as surplus property by APS in early 2023. Following the formalization of an intergovernmental agreement between APS and AUD in late 2024, the site was identified by the Atlanta Preservation Center as one of major significance. The master plan, created collaboratively with the Lakewood Heights Community Association and NPU-Y, outlines development and neighborhood recommendations to APS and AUD for the preservation of the original Lakewood Heights elementary school building following a four-month community engagement exercise with residents and stakeholders.

The Atlanta Urban Development Corporation (AUD) cordially invites your firm to participate in this Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) aimed at identifying a partner for Phase I of the redevelopment of the former Gun Club Park, a City of Atlanta-owned property located north of Johnson Road in the Almond Park neighborhood.

Phase I of the Gun Club Park redevelopment initiative is the first step towards a catalytic neighborhood development opportunity that turns a decommissioned park, into a mixed-income, thriving community with world-class trails, parks, and community facilities that connect surrounding communities with a restored Proctor Creek. The entire multi-phase Gun Club Park redevelopment includes the 44.1-acre former park and an 8.8-acre City-owned property on Johnson Road.  

This Project foresees site development across the entire former Gun Club Park location, community amenities that support new and existing residents, and vertical development of 100 – 150 new units of medium-density housing and small-scale retail. Phase I will include a mix of tenures, affordability levels, and housing typologies, while the park’s site development should establish key infrastructure needs for future phases of development.  

AUD requests submissions from qualified respondents demonstrating the technical and financial capacity required to deliver a large-scale redevelopment of the current Midtown Fire Station 15, located at 170 10th St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309 in Midtown.

This Property, initially constructed in 1986, currently functions as an essential fire safety facility in the heart of Midtown Atlanta. Fire Station 15 is pivotal in facilitating efficient access and maneuverability for emergency vehicles, ensuring ongoing safety and security for the station’s service area.  AUD's primary goal of this project is to redevelop the property into a dense, residential tower, incorporating both market and affordable units, with a newly built fire station on the ground floor. AUD envisions the development of an inclusive community that addresses the housing needs of Midtown while enhancing the quality of fire and emergency services for surrounding neighborhoods.  

AUD, together with Atlanta Housing, the City of Atlanta, and other partners, is implementing a multiphase, multiyear comprehensive redevelopment initiative in the Thomasville Heights neighborhood that includes the former Thomasville Heights public housing site, as well as other nearby publicly-owned properties. AUD seeks a qualified partner for Phase I of the redevelopment initiative. Phase I represents an opportunity to break ground and develop the first new homes at the former Thomasville Heights location.

The Thomasville Heights redevelopment strategy is a centerpiece to supporting a whole, healthy Thomasville Heights neighborhood. Phase I should set a high standard for housing quality and urban design and provide a strong starting point to establish the housing market for both owner-occupied and rental homes in the redevelopment area. This initial phase should appeal to low-, middle-, and upper-income families. The large concentration of public ownership in the neighborhood ensures that market value spurred by the redevelopment will be captured and directed toward future AUD investments in affordability, neighborhood health, and community development.
