Progress is underway at 390 Sunset.

After pausing in 2023 due to the discovery of an undocumented trunk sewer line beneath the property, construction on the 26-unit development is officially moving forward. While unexpected infrastructure challenges can slow a project, they are also part of the reality of working in historic neighborhoods with layered systems and aging utilities.

“As you go underground, everything can change,” said John Ahmann. “Some of the things you expect to be done haven’t been done. There’s often more work than you think — and we’re doing what it takes to move forward.”

Westside Future Fund’s commitment — to do the extra work, to solve the unseen problems, and to stay the course — is what brings projects like the new construction at 390 Sunset to life.

Construction is now on a 16-month schedule, with anticipated completion in March 2027.

The development is supported through a layered funding partnership that includes a State of Georgia housing grant, Westside TAD funding administered through Invest Atlanta, and philanthropic investment from The Cox Foundation, The Tull Foundation, the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, and The Home Depot. These public and private partners play an essential role in helping ensure high-quality housing remains attainable.

Partnership has also been critical on the infrastructure side. Close coordination with the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management has helped address utility challenges while keeping the long-term affordability of the project front and center.

390 Sunset reflects what it takes to move development forward responsibly — persistence, collaboration, and a willingness to address challenges head-on. We look forward to sharing continued updates as construction progresses.
