Building Near MLK's Birthplace To Be Converted Into a Loft

As part of the ongoing redevelopment of a group of buildings that were originally constructed as cotton wearhouses, an Atlanta partnership has anounced the conversion of a historic building on Aubrun Avenue. The project is located in the neighborhood that was the birthplace of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The neighborhood has recently seen a rebirth as a live, work and play districtl. The overall project is called Studioplex and also includes 28 retails galleries. The converted building has not been given a name yet but is expected to be priced starting in the mid-$100,00's. There will be 112 loft residential units and 18 loft offices all featuring 12-foot to 17-foot ceilings, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops.
