Images: How new facet of Cobb County town center came together Josh Green Wed, 10/30/2024 - 09:30 A multi-building development expected to help reawaken a historic downtown area in West Cobb is ready for its closeup.

After breaking ground in summer 2022, Atlanta-based developer Novare Group, Batson-Cook Development Co., and PointOne Holdings have delivered a public-private development deal in Powder Springs now christened Springside.

Powder Springs, a Cobb County city of roughly 17,000 residents, is located about 25 miles northwest of Midtown and is known for its historic downtown shops and architecture—and for being a pitstop off the Silver Comet Trail.

The Springside project aims to add living options and foot traffic to a town center that city officials are working to make more vibrant, across the street from Thurman Springs Park, with local restaurants and shops nearby. Its grand opening will likely come next month, project reps tell Urbanize Atlanta.

With 226 units overall, the eight-building project counts a mix of two-story carriage houses and apartment structures standing three or four stories. No retail or commercial space was included.

Springside rents start at $1,429 monthly. That gets a one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit in a studio-esque 428 square feet.

The largest two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments start at $1,812 for between 1,188 and 1,296 square feet, spread across two floors.

Amenities at the Humphreys & Partners Architects-designed apartments include a pet park, coworking lounge, a fitness center with yoga, private garages for some units, and a pool with a sun-shelf and tanning ledge described as being resort-quality, according to developers.

“Our goal was to create modern, vibrant spaces that blend seamlessly with the charm of downtown Powder Springs,” said Novare president and CEO Jim Borders in a project announcement, “and we’ve accomplished exactly that.”

Powder Springs’ new town center will eventually cover 6.6 acres downtown, consuming land within walking distance of Marietta Street shops and restaurants, a future trail connection to the 61-mile Silver Comet, and the aforementioned, $4.1-million Thurman Springs Park, which the city debuted in 2021.
