New Life for Site of Former Morris Brown Student Center

A deteriorated, vacant site in Vine City adjacent to the Atlanta University Center will soon be reimagined and revitalized. 

The Invest Atlanta Board selected Prestwick Development to redevelop the site located at the corner of Sunset Avenue and Griffin Street near the cluster of five Historically Black Colleges and Universities. There are currently two buildings on the site, including the former Morris Brown Student Center – also known as the Hickman Center – and the Morris Brown U.S. Postal Service facility, which has fallen into disrepair due to long-term vacancy and previous fire damage.  

Invest Atlanta acquired the site in 2014 and issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) soliciting developers to reimagine its potential while also ensuring its compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. Selected as Invest Atlanta’s development partner, Prestwick Development’s vision for the site includes residential housing, a hotel and parking, along with a classroom and conference center building to provide expanded support for Morris Brown College.
