'100 6th Street' apartment tower to break ground in January

The city's economic development arm, Invest Atlanta, announced late this week the approval of tax abatements worth about $3 million for the $63 million mixed-use project that is expected to be completed by late 2013.

The Novare Group and the Batson-Cook Development Company have made it official in stating they will begin next month to build a 23-story 320-unit luxury apartment tower in Midtown known as 100 6th Street.

The $63 million mixed-use project will stand behind the existing 36-story Viewpoint condo tower and five percent of its units will be offered as affordable housing.

Novare President Jim Borders said he hopes the affordable component of the apartment tower would be enticing to police officers, firefighters, and educators.

Invest Atlanta’s Brian McGowan told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that 100 6th Street is “a great public-private partnership supporting job creation, providing affordable housing and bringing incremental property tax revenue to the city.”
