FORT WASHINGTON, Pa., Oct. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Toll Brothers, Inc. (NYSE: TOL) (www.TollBrothers.com), the nation’s leading builder of luxury homes, through its Toll Brothers Apartment Living® rental subsidiary, and PGIM Real Estate have announced the formation of a new joint venture to develop Momentum Midtown, a 36-story, 376-unit luxury rental apartment community at 1018 West Peachtree Street in the heart of Atlanta’s tech community.
The joint venture has secured a $96 million construction loan facility from Wells Fargo Bank N.A. The debt and equity financing were arranged by Toll Brothers’ in-house Finance Department. Toll Brothers Apartment Living will manage the development, marketing, leasing and property management of 1018 West Peachtree.
Momentum Midtown is located within a five-minute walk of the Georgia Institute of Technology campus in Atlanta’s Midtown community between the Downtown and Buckhead neighborhoods. With superior access to I-75/85, GA-400, MARTA rail stations, and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the property benefits from convenient access to many of the area’s major transportation corridors, employment centers and employers, including FORTUNE 500 companies such as Google, NCR, AT&T, and Coca-Cola. Atlanta has the South’s second-largest pool of tech workers and the property’s adjacency to Georgia Tech and its location two blocks south of Google’s planned 475,000 square foot Midtown office, places it at the center of Atlanta’s tech innovation community.
Momentum Midtown, located on a .83-acre site, will consist of 376 market rate studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom luxury rental apartments and a 431-space parking garage. The community will feature a resort-style rooftop pool and lounge with cabanas, outdoor bar, dining room, exhibition kitchen, theater, indoor/outdoor game room and a sky lounge.
