ATLANTA, GA – Osprey, Toll Brothers Apartment Living’s newest Atlanta community, tops out in West Midtown by general contractor Balfour Beatty. The 13-story, mixed-use development is designed to maximize project density by leveraging an off-site manufacturing platform to construct the project’s entire tower structure.
The 325,000-square-foot Class A development features a 13-story tower, two five-story buildings, and a seven-story, 540-car parking garage. Osprey includes 30,000 square feet of interior service and retail space, in addition to amenities including an exterior pool, fitness-on-demand studio, a sky lounge with a community bar, co-working space, and a dog park. With a total of 319 residential units, the top two floors will feature luxury penthouse units with private outdoor living areas.

“Topping out the Osprey is a great milestone for our team and we’re honored to be Toll Brothers Apartment Living’s construction partner in delivering this innovative project,” said Russ Brocklebank, vice president of operations, Balfour Beatty. “Toll Brothers is always seeking new, innovative ways to deliver quality projects. As we move toward project completion, we are pleased with the benefits we have realized by taking an off-site, modular construction approach to delivering Osprey.” 

Focused on leveraging the latest technologies and innovative building practices to deliver Osprey, Balfour Beatty leveraged the off-site structural manufacturing platform to help achieve Toll Brothers Apartment Living’s construction objectives when compared to a typical post-tensioned concrete frame or other load-bearing structural frame options. In addition to the wall panels with structural columns, the off-site system is also being used for precast balconies, stairs, and infill-framing.  

With project completion scheduled for the first quarter of 2020, Balfour Beatty began installing the prefabricated tower structure in February 2019. Balfour Beatty’s design partners on Osprey include Brock Hudgins Architects, S.A. Miro, M2 Structural, and Proficient Engineering.
