Late-night study and drinking coffee go hand-in-hand and The Standard at Atlanta fuels both with a built-in, drive-thru urban Starbucks—one of the first in the country—anchoring an 19-story, mixed-use housing development serving Georgia Tech students. NBA’s architecture takes full advantage of the midtown Atlanta site as cascading outdoor terraces provide sweeping views of the city skyline and university campus, and the firm’s interior design makes the units feel more like luxury apartments than student housing. Thoughtful landscaping provides street-level transparency, maximizes pedestrian engagement and promotes walkability. The high-rise tower consists of 257 furnished residential units and 10,783 sf of commercial space. Totaling 40,467 sf, the elevated rooftop amenity deck is the largest in Atlanta, boasting a resort-style swimming pool, mini putting green and BBQ areas.
