**Abebe Ventures to Develop Major Mixed-Use Project in Southwest Atlanta**
Abebe Ventures has announced plans for a significant mixed-use development in southwest Atlanta, aiming to deliver 3,032 residential units and more than 716,000 square feet of commercial space by 2035.
The proposed site spans a section of Sylvan Road in the Capitol View neighborhood, with boundaries stretching from Avon Avenue to the north and Dill Avenue to the south. The strategic location places the development in close proximity to key transportation and community assets, including the Beltline’s Oakland + Murphy connector trail.
Abebe Westside Ventures LLC, the entity leading the project, acquired a roughly 6.5-acre parcel at 1215 Sylvan Road for $8.3 million in August of last year. Additional parcels along Cox Avenue are also expected to be incorporated into the overall development footprint.
The nearby Oakland + Murphy connector is a 1.31-mile trail that, once completed, will link the existing Southside Trail of the Atlanta Beltline to Murphy Avenue and the Oakland City MARTA station. Construction on the trail is set to begin in 2026 and conclude in 2027.
This ambitious project will also be situated near Murphy Crossing, an area where Atlanta Beltline Inc. plans to create a mixed-use hub with housing, retail, and industrial spaces across approximately 20 acres along the Westside Trail.
With its size and strategic location, Abebe Ventures’ development is poised to significantly contribute to the ongoing revitalization and growth in southwest Atlanta.
