The Novel Upper Westside apartment development is the newest addition to a Publix-anchored community located in the up-and-coming Upper Westside Neighborhood in Atlanta, Georgia. Novel Upper Westside offers 345 luxury apartments ranging from studios to three-bedroom floor plans spread out across two multi-level buildings and totaling approximately 400,000 GSF. Developer Crescent Communities’ vision for residents to engage with each other and with the surrounding community is enriched through the project’s exterior amenity offerings such as the serene, 15,000 SF courtyard with spa-like pool, grilling areas, an 1,800 SF dog recreation park, a rooftop deck, and 5,000 SF on-site neighborhood park that will serve to facilitate social gatherings and special events such as “Screen on the Green.” Residents will also benefit from interior amenities including a clubroom, dog spa, bicycle storage and workshop, fitness and yoga room.

A grand leasing space is geared towards bringing residents together through the design of communal work areas and gathering spaces such as the “social stair” and performance stage. The kitchen, complete with beer taps, may further promote resident interaction while also paying homage to the many local breweries. Residents and their guests will share the 499-space parking garage adjacent the 15,000 SF of new retail space also being developed by Crescent Communities in partnership with EDENS.
