ATLANTA — A joint venture between developers Middle Street Partners and AECOM-Canyon Partners is underway on The Juniper and The Reserve at Juniper, a two-tower multifamily project totaling 487 apartment units. The development is located at 1081 Juniper St., a block from Piedmont Park in Midtown Atlanta.
The Juniper will feature 320 units across 37 stories. The top floor will be dedicated to amenity space, including coworking suites, a fitness center and a hot yoga studio.
Adjacent to The Juniper, The Reserve at Juniper will comprise 167 apartments across 34 stories. The building will offer amenities such as infrared and salt saunas, a cold plunge and rooftop pool. Each tower will also feature an undisclosed amount of ground-floor retail space.
The development team broke ground on the project in mid-2022, and the towers were topped out in July 2024. Leasing is slated to begin in the spring.
“We believe Midtown Atlanta, specifically the area adjacent to Piedmont Park, is the most dynamic submarket in the Southeast,” says Ed Alexander, development partner for Middle Street. “We set out to create a residential destination befitting the neighborhood and an addition to the skyline that will stand the test of time.”
The joint venture secured $245 million in construction financing for the project through Bank OZK and Related Fund Management in 2022. Brock Hudgins designed the community, CID Design Group provided interior design services and Brasfield & Gorrie is serving as the general contractor.
Middle Street Partners is a Charleston, S.C.-based development and investment company. Since the company’s inception in 2009, Middle Street Partners has sponsored approximately $2.5 billion in multifamily developments and acquisitions.
AECOM-Canyon Partners is a joint venture between Dallas-based investor and developer AECOM Capital and asset management firm Canyon Partners LLC. Headquartered in Los Angeles, Canyon Partners currently has roughly $26 billion in assets under management.
