Demolition of part of the Druid Hills Baptist Church campus in Poncey-Highland is now underway to make room for a mixed-use development. Old office and classroom space is making way for 675. N. Highland, but the century-old sanctuary at the corner of N. Highland and Ponce de Leon avenues will remain. 675 N. Highland pro which will actually front on North Highland, Blue Ridge and Seminole avenues across from Flip Burger — will feature 125 high-end residential units. The developer hasn’t said whether they will be apartments or condos. At ground level, there will be 12,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space fronting North Highland Avenue and 7,000 square feet of storefront office space along Blue Ridge.
