Pennrose, Mercy Care, and project partners celebrated the groundbreaking of McAuley Station Phase II, the next step in the visionary mixed-income, mixed-use McAuley Station master plan. The second phase will add 97 high-quality, affordable apartments for residents aged 55 and older adjacent to the Mercy Care campus in the Sweet Auburn neighborhood of Atlanta. The initiative is expected to be completed in April 2027.
McAuley Station Phase II responds to a critical community need by providing stable, safe, and affordable housing for older adults, many of whom are living on fixed incomes and disproportionately affected by rising healthcare and assisted living costs. The project will consist of 95 one-bedroom apartments and two studio apartments. Of these, 86 units will be income-restricted to 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI), including 19 units further restricted at 50% AMI to provide deeper affordability. The remaining 11 units will be unrestricted with respect to income.
