The August listings answered what would replace Lean Draft House at the Beltline’s zero mile marker. The question now is whether buyers will pay the prices being asked.
Lean Draft House closed Dec. 31, 2023, after seven years inside a converted car-wash building at 600 Hopkins St. SW. The owner said its lease was ending without an option to renew.
Gordon White Parkside townhome community now occupies the corner.
What is actually for sale
The first two homes were listed Aug. 30 and remained active when checked Oct. 10.
585 Parkview Way SW is asking $800,000. 591 Parkview Way SW is asking $750,000.
Each has three bedrooms, three full bathrooms and one half-bath across approximately 2,700 square feet. The homes include two-car garages and private rooftop porches. HOA dues are $300 a month.
The addresses sit on Parkview Way, the internal street created for the development. Great Foundations, LLC is handling the listings.
Phase one includes 13 homes, with 23 planned altogether. The fenced dog park shown in the marketing is private community space, not a public replacement for the bar that previously occupied the property.
The project grew before it reached the market
Earlier plans described homes with approximately 2,056 square feet, three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.
The first listings arrived at 2,700 square feet with the same bedroom and bathroom count. That is roughly 644 additional square feet per home, not an extra bathroom.
The original spring 2026 sales window also passed before the first listings appeared at the end of August.
Neither change is necessarily unusual for a development moving from early plans into construction. But it explains why the finished product is different from what was advertised when the first units began rising.
Who controls the corner
Ackerman & Co. is behind the development. The company and MDH Partners purchased the nearby Lee + White property in 2019 and continued its transformation into a district of restaurants, breweries, offices and entertainment businesses.
GW Parkside extends that investment from commercial property into for-sale housing.
That relationship is part of the value being sold. The listings emphasize direct Beltline access, Gordon-White Park across the street and a short walk to Lee + White businesses.
Why the asking price is not the final story
In our August coverage, we compared the listings with the broader 30310 ZIP code, where the median sale price was about $335,000 for the three months ending in June.
That comparison needs context. These are large, newly built townhomes with garages and rooftop space. The ZIP includes older houses, smaller properties and homes farther from the trail.
Still, the two asking prices sit well above what most homes around them sell for. At $278 and $296 per square foot, they establish a visible top end for new construction beside Gordon-White Park.
An asking price does not become a neighborhood comparable until a buyer closes. Both homes were still available more than a month after listing.
The market will answer whether Ackerman priced these correctly. What the neighborhood should watch is the answer it gives. If the homes close near their asking prices, agents and developers gain two new numbers to use when pricing the remaining 21 units and future construction around the Westside Trail. If they sit or receive reductions, that tells a different story about how much buyers will pay for direct Beltline access here. This corner once offered a place anyone could walk into and spend the evening. Its replacement offers homeownership, but at a price that sharply narrows who can participate. Both facts belong in the story.
