Designing an Amenity-Rich High Rise in Atlanta

Siting on the edge of high-rise zoning, the location of Modera Parkside sat empty and underutilized for over a decade until Mill Creek Residential saw an opportunity. Gresham Smith is working to create a multifamily tower that melds the elements of a unique neighborhood with incredible amenities that appeal to a diverse set of renters all while embracing the unencumbered views of Atlanta’s skyline, Piedmont Park and Stone Mountain.

With remote workers, pet owners and cyclists in mind, Modera Parkside boasts amenities such as two expansive pools, a rooftop dog run, an outdoor lounge with bar and kitchen, luxury fitness and yoga studios, resident bike storage, a top-of-the-line business center and conferencing space, an upscale lobby lounge, ample structured parking and more. Expandable furnishing from Ori will also be available for residents such as retractable or convertible desks and murphy beds, depending on the unit size. One of the building’s most striking exterior features is a bold visor that stretches the east façade. The visor creates some spatial definition for the rooftop amenity while breaking up the mass of the 10th Street façade as it runs down the building.
