New details released on townhomes next door to Manuel’s Tavern

Selig Enterprises has released some details on the townhome project called 550 North Highland that is under construction next door to Manuel’s Tavern in Poncey-Highland.

Located on Manuel’s former main parking lot, the 16 three-story townhomes will feature three and four-bedroom plans, rooftop patios and average 2,400 square feet each. The community will be exclusively marketed and sold by Engel & Völkers Atlanta.

“Actively developing in this neighborhood is something Selig is very proud of,” said Steve Baile, Chief Operating and Development Officer of Selig Development, said in a media statement. “Manuel’s Tavern is an Atlanta institution. When we were approached to help continue the legacy of the tavern and also have the opportunity to build new homes in the walkable, vibrant PonceyHighland neighborhood, we knew it was a great opportunity.”

The 550 North Highland townhomes were designed by Atlanta-based architect Jerry Spangler of TSW and are being constructed by Monte Hewett Homes as the general contractor.

Streetscape improvements will include sidewalk widening, replanting of mature trees and improved street lighting. Additionally, Selig will be realigning Williams Mill Road, installing a crosswalk for the eastern parking lot of Manuel’s Tavern and adding a large patio for the tavern. Construction will finish in late 2020, according to the press release.

In 2015, Selig purchased three parcels of property from the Maloof family, owners of Manuel’s Tavern, with plans to first complete much-needed renovations on Manuel’s followed by new development on the adjacent property. Selig managed renovation construction for Manuel’s Tavern, which reopened in late 2016. Manuel’s Tavern entered a long-term lease with Selig.

In 2018, Selig worked closely with the neighborhood to rezone the property accordingly with positive support from the Poncey-Highland Neighborhood Association, NPU and Atlanta City Council. including laparoscopic surgical technology and colonoscopies, to treat and care for diseases of the colon and rectum.
