TSW was retained by Columbia Ventures to provide landscape architecture services for the Edgewood/Candler Park Station TOD, now known as Spoke (www.spokeatl.com). The project is located south of the Edgewood/Candler Park MARTA Station and was on-track to be completed in Fall 2017.

The development contains a multifamily building, consisting of studio, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom apartments, a performing arts center, restaurant, pocket park, and a pedestrian bridge to MARTA’s Edgewood/Candler Park Station. The multifamily building provides residents with a variety of housing options, while the performing arts center and restaurant add a cultural and entertainment aspect to the development. The pocket park provides a green space for residents to relax and enjoy the outdoors, and the pedestrian bridge ensures easy access to the MARTA station for residents and visitors.
