Atlas Real Estate Partners announced the refinancing of Standard Assembly, a 310-unit mixed-use community in Nashville's Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood. The refinancing transitions the Opportunity Zone project from a construction loan with Principal Life Insurance to a five-year, fixed-rate Fannie Mae loan with full-term interest-only payments, positioning the asset for long-term stability.

Standard Assembly features 310 residential units, including 11 live/work units, along with 12,400 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The retail component is anchored by Moto Moda, a New York-style pizzeria with vintage motorcycle décor, and Forza Pilates, a well-known boutique fitness studio, helping create an active and engaging streetscape for residents and the surrounding community.

At the time of refinancing, the property was 98% occupied. Standard Assembly has been recognized by The Tennessean as the Best Apartment Complex in its “Best of Music City” awards for three consecutive years and maintains a 4.9-star Google rating across nearly 200 reviews.

“Standard Assembly is a distinctive project that captures the creative essence of the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood,” said Alex Foster, Managing Partner at Atlas Real Estate Partners. “The blend of industrial-inspired design, modern finishes and amenities, and an unrelenting focus on the resident experience has enabled the property to maintain strong occupancy with minimal concessions, even in a highly competitive leasing environment.”

Standard Assembly offers studio, one-, and two-bedroom residences with high-end finishes, open floor layouts, and modern design elements. Amenities include a co-working space with private offices, an indoor-outdoor fitness center, a resort-style pool, an oversized bike room, and a dedicated dog park and spa.

The development team includes Atlas Real Estate Partners, Wedgewood Avenue, Hy Ventures, Hardaway Construction, EOA Architects, MZA Architects, and Greystar Property Management.

Atlas Real Estate Partners proudly spearheaded the Covenant House Real Estate Executive Sleep Out for the 12th consecutive year, joining industry peers on November 13 to sleep outside in solidarity for youth experiencing homelessness. Teams from both New York and South Florida took part in the annual event, which raises critical funds and awareness to fuel the organization's life-changing programs for youth. 

This year, Atlas and fellow real estate leaders helped raise over $335,000, contributing to the more than $4 million generated over the past 12 years to support Covenant House. These funds provide essential resources, including safe shelter, meals, crisis care, education, job training, and long-term assistance to help vulnerable youth build stable, independent futures. 

“The Sleep Out is far more than a night spent outdoors,” said Arvind Chary, Managing Partner & Co-Founder of Atlas Real Estate Partners, and a founding member of the Real Estate Executive Sleep Out. “It represents our ongoing commitment to standing with young people facing homelessness and supporting the life-changing work Covenant House carries out every day. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has joined us, donated, and championed this cause over the years.” 

The Covenant House Sleep Out brings together thousands of participants across industries each year, challenging them to give up their beds for one night to shine a light on the youth homelessness crisis. Funds raised go directly to Covenant House programs across the United States, Canada, and Latin America. 

Atlas encourages continued support for Covenant House’s mission.

Atlas Real Estate Partners announces the official grand opening of The Hawkins, a new 192-unit luxury apartment community located in the heart of Chamblee, Georgia. Just five months after the initial leasing launch, the community is already 63% leased, and on track to be fully occupied by end of Q1 2026, signaling robust demand for high-quality, transit-oriented rental housing in the area. 

The Hawkins is uniquely positioned adjacent to DeKalb–Peachtree Airport (PDK), offering residents distinctive, uninterrupted views of the runway and the Atlanta skyline. This singular feature is integrated into the property's design, providing a unique sense of place for residents. It is also just minutes from premier dining, shopping, and entertainment, while also offering direct connectivity to Buckhead, Brookhaven, and Downtown Atlanta through multiple transportation options.  

“We designed The Hawkins to stand out not only in Chamblee, but across Atlanta,” said Alex Foster, Managing Partner at Atlas Real Estate Partners. “Blending irreplaceable offerings like the sky lounge overlooking PDK to its practical amenities such as our dog walk and pet spa, coworking spaces and intimate courtyard, every detail reflects our goal of creating a community where residents can live, work, and connect in one of Atlanta’s most exciting neighborhoods.” 

The Hawkins offers a mix of studio, one, two and three-bedroom residences, each featuring high-end finishes, open layouts, and modern touches designed for comfort and convenience. The amenity package at The Hawkins is highlighted by the sky lounge, a one-of-a-kind gathering space with floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic views overlooking the PDK Airport runway and Atlanta cityscape. 

Additional features supporting the modern resident include: 

• High-design, flexible coworking spaces catering to remote professionals and entrepreneurs. 

• A state-of-the-art indoor/outdoor fitness center, a resort-style swimming pool, and dedicated dog spa facilities. 

• Planned ground-floor retail and a grab-and-go market to enhance residents' everyday convenience. 

In addition to Atlas, the development team includes FIDES Development, New South Construction, Nelson Architects, Banko Design, and Greystar Property Management.

Join the Sleep Out
The Sleep Out movement challenges participants to give up their beds for one night, using only a sleeping bag outdoors, to stand in solidarity with homeless youth. Participants hear directly from Covenant House alumni, learn from experts addressing youth homelessness and connect with fellow advocates committed to ending this crisis.

Originally founded by Arvind Chary, Matt Schmeelk and Scott Sherman, the Sleep Out has become one of the most significant philanthropic efforts in the industry. By spending one night outdoors, participants symbolically highlight their commitment to ensuring at-risk youth have access to the resources they need to overcome homelessness.

Covenant House operates in 34 cities across the United States, Latin America and Canada, helping thousands of youth overcome homelessness every year. They are committed to cutting youth homelessness in half by 2035 through a multi-year strategy that addresses root causes, expands prevention efforts and develops more comprehensive solutions to help young people escape homelessness for good.

Located at 8151 Petterson Woods Drive, Perse is positioned just off International Drive in Orlando’s high-traffic tourist and employment corridor. More than 125,000 residents live within five miles of the property, with average household incomes exceeding $100,000.
