Georgia Tech Student Housing Replacing Campus Ministry Building

CCI Real Estate secured financing for a five-story, mixed-use project at 740 Techwood Drive, less than a block from the Yellowjackets’ football stadium.

The $18-million construction loan from Southern States Bank allows developers to replace the longstanding Baptist College Ministries building with residential, retail, and ministry spaces. The project is moving forward in partnership with the Georgia Baptist Mission Board. 

CCI’s plans for the half-acre site call for 55 one- and two-bedroom apartments spread across 64,000 square feet.

The mixed-use components include 12,000 square feet of retail and student community space at the ground level and an upgraded ministry facility. Groundbreaking will be this summer, and completion is slated for 2027. True North Companies is the general contractor. 

Tech’s first new on-campus residence hall in 50 years is also rising, with nearly 900 new beds for first-year Yellow Jackets scheduled to open in August 2026 for the fall semester.
