Our Stories

After more than two years of construction, the conversion and expansion of a landmark Atlanta church into condos is nearly finished, with the first half-dozen homeowners moving in where countless Atlantans worshipped, attended school, or were married across six decades. Druid Hills United Methodist Church, built by architects and developers Ivey & Crook in 1954, is now called 1200 Ponce, a project by seasoned Atlanta-based developers Minerva along Ponce de Leon Avenue. Minerva’s plans call for a community of four buildings with 51 condos and townhomes to come together over the next couple of years. The first component, the Choate + Hertlein Architects-designed conversion of the former Greek Revival-stye sanctuary and adjoining preschool, includes 23 condos.
