Athens Rising: Luxury Housing Brings Change to Downtown
Wednesday, July 29th, 2015
On Oconee Street, across from Nuci’s Space and St. Mary’s steeple, a line of empty warehouses sat behind a chain link fence. These vacant buildings formerly made up the Armstrong & Dobbs supply company, a business that operated from 1951 to 2008 on the edge of downtown.
Now, they’ve been demolished and the grounds cleared away.
On this property, The Mark, a luxury student high-rise from Landmark Properties, will open in 2016. It will hold 928 bedrooms, plus 38,400 square feet worth of retail space.
