Selig Announces Partnership with GID at The Works

Selig Development, one of Atlanta’s largest privately held commercial real estate firms, and GID, a vertically-integrated real estate company, have announced a joint venture partnership for a multifamily community at The Works, Selig’s 80-acre adaptive reuse development on Atlanta’s Upper Westside. (Selig Development, the development arm of Selig Enterprises, was co-founded by Scott Selig and Steve Baile in 2015.)

Selig Enterprises CEO Steve Selig recalled the memory of his late son Scott in completing his vision at The Works.

Construction on the 306-unit residential project is underway, slated to be finished by 2023. Selig Enterprises CEO Steve Selig said, “Adding residences is a key component to creating the type of exciting place that my son Scott originally envisioned for The Works. The construction on the apartments has already started, and we can’t wait to welcome the first residents in 2023.”

The Works is already home to 160,000 sq. feet of retail space and 120,000 sq. feet of office space. The new homes will be located at the front door of the development, along Chattahoochee Avenue and adjacent to The Camp, the one-acre green space and heart of the property. The project, designed by RJTR and built by contractor Brasfield and Gorrie, will include a mix of floor plans, comprising 70 percent one-bedroom and 30 percent two-bedroom apartments. Future residents will be able to enjoy state-of-the-art amenities that open onto The Camp, such as an indoor/outdoor clubroom, fitness center and coworking spaces.

Dating back to 1918, Selig Enterprises is a family-owned and -operated real estate company with a portfolio encompassing some 11 million sq. feet of retail, industrial, mixed-use and office properties throughout the Southeast and several large-scale mixed-use developments. GID operates a diverse portfolio of multifamily, industrial and mixed-use developments and has placed a focus on Atlanta, where it operates nearly 2,700 multifamily units and 4 million sq. feet of commercial real estate, as well as a corporate office space.

In 2020, Selig worked alongside the City of Atlanta Department of Planning to create and receive one of Atlanta’s first industrial mixed-use (I-MIX) zoning designations, which allows for a newly constructed residential complex to exist within the historically industrial site.

One thing is for sure: being bored will not be an option at The Works!
