Hotel Abacus Student Housing Redevelopment

planned

Core Spaces plans to demolish the 1970s-era Hotel Abacus in Athens to develop a mid-rise apartment complex providing 1,400 beds for college students. The project aims to address growing demand for student housing near the University of Georgia campus, with an expected cost north of $150 million. The redevelopment includes contributions to affordable housing, sewer infrastructure upgrades, and public parking facilities, with a potential groundbreaking in March 2026 and completion about two years later.
