AUD requests submissions from qualified respondents demonstrating the technical and financial capacity required to realize the redevelopment of the former Lakewood
Heights Elementary School through a dynamic public-private partnership model. The City of Atlanta, Atlanta Urban Development Corporation (AUD), and
Atlanta Public Schools have partnered to solicit responses to this Request
for Qualifications (“RFQ”) from qualified developers (“Respondents”) to redevelop the former Lakewood Heights Elementary School into a mixed-
use development with neighborhood amenities and mixed-income rentalhousing.
‍
• 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.

How to submit proposals to AUD for evaluation.

AUD has several incentive programs for which property owners and developers can apply. These programs can be leveraged separately or may be layered within the same project. For projects seeking multiple incentives or to learn about programs offered by other City-affiliated organizations, use the City of Atlanta's Multifamily Incentive Common Intake Form.
‍

For projects seeking only a Private Enterprise Agreement, see the PEA section below.
‍

Private Enterprise Agreements (PEA)

Private Enterprise Agreements are partnerships between private-sector property owners and AUD to provide affordable housing by offsetting rent reductions with property tax exemption on low- and moderate-income units. AUD, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atlanta Housing, is authorized to create PEAs by Georgia Code §8-3-3 ff.
‍
State law requires that AUD maintain an ownership stake in projects using a Private Enterprise Agreement. AUD requires a ground lease agreement (where AUD is the ground lessor) to fulfill this requirement.

NOTE: 2026 will bring changes to AUD's private enterprise agreement program. Final program terms will be posted by December 31, 2025. Projects submitted after AUD's November 2025 Board meeting will be subject to the new terms.
‍

Submission Requirements
‍PEA submissions must include:

  • Pro forma of the project, modeling compliance with the PEA affordability requirements
  • Documentation that substantiates quoted market rents (ex. Rent rolls, market study, broker opinion)

‍In addition to its basic affordability requirements, AUD values projects that improve the quality of life of residents and address various priority groups, geographies, and policies. Submissions should also include a project summary that describes any of the following:

  • Geographical, social, and economic benefits of this project to the surrounding community.
  • How the project serves target populations (seniors, youth up to age 25, families with school-aged children, those at-risk of or experiencing homelessness).
  • Resident services, anti-displacement, eviction diversion programs, or innovative approaches to property management.

Property owners should submit their proposal the City's Common Intake Form, linked above. An AUD project manager will confirm receipt and review the proposal in three to five business days. Submissions not received in this email box may be delayed.
