Grady HOPE VI Urban Collage recently completed a 2005 HOPE VI grant application for the redevelopment of the Atlanta Housing Authority’s Grady Homes public housing complex. Grady Homes is a 21-acre housing development in Downtown Atlanta, within walking distance of Georgia State University and Grady Hospital. The three-month project followed on the heels of a longer master planning effort which recast Grady Homes as a new mixed-use, mixed-income community in the historic Auburn Avenue neighborhood. Resident input helped shape the form of the new community, with housing for diverse age groups (including seniors) clustered around a ‘Great Lawn’ and other smaller park spaces. |

Highway 78 LCI Corridor Plan After participating in several public and private planning efforts in the Snellville area, Urban Collage, Inc. was retained as part of a consulting team by the Highway 78 Community Improvement District to develop a LCI Plan for a one-mile stretch of the Highway 78 corridor. Slated for completion in December 2005, the bulk of the Study filters community input through the lens of professional expertise to create a Redevelopment Plan for a specific section of the corridor. An innovative product is in the works, combining elements of Urban Collage's tried-and-true 'Strip Recovery' process with existing commercial development to create a vision that combines strip and mixed-use strategies for redevelopment. |

Westside Village Urban Collage was asked to be a part of a redevelopment team that looked at strategies for new growth within the old urban fabric. Urban Collage developed a Master Plan for an unbuilt portion of the Village, designed to introduce new housing options ranging from townhomes to condominiums and focused around the expansion of a neighborhood-scaled and historically-appropriate retail center. |
