BRACK: Luxury apartment complex rising next to Coolray Field

By Elliott Brack | With the opening of the Gwinnett Braves baseball season at Coolray Field on April 9, there will be a different view from home plate. Looking toward the outfield, fans will see a new apartment complex just past the outfield wall, which is anticipated to be ready-for-occupancy by opening day. Some 40 percent of the units will have an unobstructed view of the field.
