Construction on an adaptive-reuse project transforming old warehouse buildings in Southwest Atlanta will hopefully commence by the end of this year, Urbanize Atlanta first reported.

The first phase of Oakland Exchange is set to feature 126 residential units and 15,000 square feet of commercial space, according to the news outlet. The mixed-use development with additional housing, retail and office space planned will eventually encompass five acres.

The property on Murphy Avenue is the site of the former Cut Rate Box warehouse buildings, near the Murphy Crossing redevelopment site and the West End and Oakland City MARTA stations.

Urban Realty Partners is the development team behind the project, with Kronberg Urbanists + Architects and Praxis3 as the architecture and design teams.

“URP is thoughtfully building a compelling environment across five acres for a positive, productive future – strengthened by the historic buildings and new beginnings,” reads the Oakland Exchange website.

The vision for the site has transformed over time, changing from office-focused to more residential. It also used to be referred to as “The Murphy.” Talk of redeveloping the warehouse complex has been swirling since 2019.
