Atlanta-based New City Properties and Method Co. have announced that the mixed-use FORTH Atlanta will open in June at the Fourth Ward development along the Atlanta BeltLine’s Eastside Trail.

The $150 million, 16-floor building will include a 196-room luxury boutique hotel with 39 apartment-style rooms dedicated for extended stays. In addition, there will be four separate food & beverage concepts, an elevated outdoor pool and state-of-the-art fitness center, and a members-only social club. 

New City has selected Philadelphia-based Method Co. to operate the property, which was designed by Morris Adjmi Architects.

FORTH will have a lobby cafe and bar, rooftop cocktail lounge, a full-service Italian steakhouse, and a Mediterranean-inspired poolside restaurant and bar. The food and beverage program at each concept will be developed and overseen by Method Co., which is also behind award-winning concepts including, Philadelphia’s HIROKI and Wm. Mulherin’s Sons’ Restaurant and Hotel; The Quinte Oyster Bar, Lowland Tavern, and The Pinch Hotel in Charleston; and Sakazuki, which recently opened in Book Tower in Detroit.   

The building will house a flexible venue for events of all sizes up to 350 seated, a co-working space, a members-only social club, a state-of-the-art fitness and wellness center with programming and classes, and a spa facility. The project also features a 2,300-square foot outdoor pool deck offering lounge seating and cabanas available to both club members and hotel guests. More details on the forthcoming social club, including pricing and membership applications, will be shared in the coming months.    

“Our ambition for FORTH was nothing less than to completely reimagine the hospitality experience in Atlanta,” Jim Irwin, President of New City Properties, said in a press release. “Atlanta deserves a modern hotel with world-class design and an operator that would be tirelessly committed to creating an impeccable experience for our members and guests.”
