Two options emerge for Piedmont Park’s grand overhaul

Two options emerge for Piedmont Park’s grand overhaul

After more than 30 public engagement events and 1,500 contributions of 2 cents from Atlantans, the clearest picture to date for Piedmont Park’s proposed future has emerged. But a choice still has to be made.
Piedmont Park’s first Comprehensive Plan in 25 years has been boiled down to two options: one that emphasizes play, with a new grand entrance and sweeping boardwalks over Lake Clara Meer; the other with a focus on nature and enhancing existing scenic views.
Both options would introduce pickleball to Piedmont Park.
Both choices would also implement new basketball courts, build a concessions and restroom area near the park’s expanded northernmost tip, and bring the natural asset that is Clear Creek more to the forefront of the park experience.
Without further ado, here’s a look at both options, with finer differences explained and drawn:

Chances to weigh in on what becomes of Piedmont Park are dwindling.
In-person meetings have concluded, but two virtual community input sessions (from 1 to 2 p.m. Saturday, and 6 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 26) do remain.
Otherwise, the Piedmont Park Conservancy’s interactive online platform will be open through March 8 for anyone unable to attend a session.
It’s all leading up to “The Big Reveal”—the April 24 Landmark Luncheon at the park’s Promenade where finalized, official plans for the park’s first overhaul in a quarter-century will be unveiled. (Donations/tickets to the 28th annual luncheon start at $175.)
Last year, the nonprofit launched the Piedmont Park Conservancy 35th Anniversary Appeal, a campaign to raise $3 million for a masterplan to add new greenspace and acreage, implement enhancements and needed improvements, and generally help reimagine the park. Smaller beautification efforts, including upgraded entries, have already begun.
Below is another new visual showing more standard upgrades that would be implemented around the park. Those would include fixes (yes, please) for drainage issues around the main meadow that often leave pathways swamped with mud puddles, sometimes for days.
Other changes would include enhanced Beltline entrances and oodles of new seating:

As a sign of hope for the 2,000-acre Gwinnett Place area, advocates pulling for a mixed-use overhaul of the mostly vacant Duluth mall property have pointed to well over 1,000 new residential units in the pipeline nearby.
More than 300 of those residences are about to come to fruition.
Charleston-based, global developer Greystar has opened pre-leasing for a Duluth project called Elan Satellite Place (a nod to the district and a nearby boulevard) that’s being billed as a “sophisticated sanctuary” northeast of Atlanta.
Located at 3100 Commerce Ave., the 328-unit multifamily project has risen just north of Interstate 85 and around the corner from Gwinnett Place Mall. County leadership last year acquired another 23 acres of the mall property, calling it a “significant milestone” toward Gwinnett Place’s long-planned revival.
The new apartments are situated within the Satellite Place Office Complex, and Greystar built a parking deck as part of the project that will be used by both residents and office tenants, per officials.

Proximity of the 3100 Commerce Ave. NW project (in red) to Gwinnett Place Mall’s property, spread across more than 90 acres. Google Maps
Elan Satellite Place apartments range from studios to three-bedroom floorplans, with perks that include quartz countertops, full-size washers and dyers, rainmaker showerheads, and GE stainless steel appliances.
Studios with 620 square feet start at $1,530 monthly, while bigger one-bedroom options start at $180 more per month.
Meanwhile, the largest offering available—a three-bedroom, two-bathroom pad with 1,559 square feet—is asking $2,770 per month.
Amenities at the complex will include a summer kitchen/biergarten near the central pool, a coworking hub, large fitness center and wellness studio, a dog park, and what’s described as a “speakeasy social club,” among other facets.

Beyond quick interstate access, perks of the location include entry into Gwinnett County Public Schools, plus proximity to Gas South Arena, Sugarloaf Mills, Dukkan International Market, and employers and food-and-drink options along Satellite Boulevard and downtown Duluth, according to Greystar.
The first apartment-dwellers at Elan Satellite Place are set to move in in late April, and Greystar reps say the full complex will be finished this summer.

The Peach State’s timeworn selling points—low taxes, plentiful jobs, family-friendly lifestyles, relatively agreeable weather, and so forth—appear to still be working, especially among younger professionals.
That’s according to a new StorageCafe study tracking U.S. migration patterns from the most recent year with full available data, 2023, when about 7.5 million Americans moved to a different state. (That’s roughly equivalent to all of Arizona moving across state lines.)
According to the analysis, Georgia gained nearly 62,000 more residents than it lost in 2023, placing the Peach State among the top five destination states, following Texas, Florida, and the Carolinas, respectively.
That added to a net inflow of more than 400,000 new residents since 2014—and put Georgia among just a handful of states with 11 million residents or more.
Top U.S. Millennial magnets in 2023. StorageCafe
Net migration per capita in the U.S. in 2023. Georgia ranked 12th in this metric, with 5.6 new residents for every 1,000 people. StorageCafe
In 2023, Georgia saw a surge of more than 20,200 Millennials gained.
That was coupled with nearly 14,000 new Baby Boomers and more than 11,000 Gen Xers, making Georgia the fifth top state in all three categories, according to StorageCafe, an online platform with nationwide storage unit listings.
Meanwhile, Gen Zers are generally leaning more toward the laidback lifestyles and dynamic job markets of Arizona and both Carolinas, per the study.
“A rush of Millennials is heading to Georgia to put down roots, seeking the perfect blend of affordable homes, career opportunities, and family-friendly living,” a StorageCafe rep wrote via email to Urbanize Atlanta.
Other aspects working in Georgia’s favor are a “thriving economy” with “decades of impressive growth” in industries such as logistics, technology, healthcare, and film and entertainment, per the study.
Florida, Texas, and California sent the most new residents to Georgia in 2023, many attracted by lower homeownership costs. (Average home prices in Georgia are 55 percent lower than California, the study found.)
StorageCafe’s 2023 findings.
Some other noteworthy findings for Georgia:
- Almost four in 10 new Georgians bought a home within just a year of relocating;
- The demographic the Peach State is drawing is described as well-educated, with 33 percent of new residents having earned at least a bachelor’s degree;
- Well-heeled transplants from Illinois and New Jersey are bringing “significant economic impact,” with average net worth ranging from $77,000 to $90,000, respectively, per the study.
Overall, the analysis found that seven of the top 10 hotspot states for net migration were in the South.
Data used to determine demographic characteristics of people moving across the country was sourced from the U.S. Census, including the US Census American Community Survey PUMS microdata for 2023, per StorageCafe.
“What we’re witnessing is a fundamental reshaping of America’s demographic landscape,” Emilia Man, the study’s lead analyst, wrote in summation. “Affordability is driving interstate migration, with people gravitating toward regions where active construction meets housing demand.”

Some other noteworthy findings for Georgia: Almost four in 10 new Georgians bought a home within just a year of relocating; The demographic the Peach State is drawing is described as well-educated, with 33 percent of new residents having earned at least a bachelor’s degree; Well-heeled transplants from Illinois and New Jersey are bringing “significant economic impact,” with average net worth ranging from $77,000 to $90,000, respectively, per the study.Overall, the analysis found that seven of the top 10 hotspot states for net migration were in the South. Data used to determine demographic characteristics of people moving across the country was sourced from the U.S. Census, including the US Census American Community Survey PUMS microdata for 2023, per StorageCafe.“What we’re witnessing is a fundamental reshaping of America’s demographic landscape,” Emilia Man, the study’s lead analyst, wrote in summation. “Affordability is driving interstate migration, with people gravitating toward regions where active construction meets housing demand.”

Group Takes Over, Rebrands Distressed Nashville Office Building
Group Takes Over, Rebrands Distressed Nashville Office Building
WestPark Partners recently bought a Maryland Farms office building that sold last month for a steep discount. The group paid $6.3 million for the five-story WestPark Building at a foreclosure auction last month, marking an $18.57 million loss from what it sold for in 2013. The Nashville Business Journal reports the owner was First National Bank of Tennessee, who acquired the property from Crestview Funds through foreclosure.
The building, located at 111 Westwood Place, was built in 1982 and offers nearly 100,000 square feet of office space on a 5.14-acre lot. It is just a few minutes south of Nashville.
WestPark is rebranding the property, which has been vacant since late 2024, to Westpark Exchange and is in the early planning stages of building renovations.
Westpark Partners is comprised of CET Holdings plus a few additional partners. The group developed the Branch Creek Office Park in Franklin, the boutique hotel Neo Nashville and Seven at 7 Mile Creek Apartments in Nashville.

Data Center Operator Planning $4.5B Bartow County Campus
Data Center Operator Planning $4.5B Bartow County Campus
Atlas Development is developing “Project Springbank, a $4.5 billion data center.” The proposed facility will be located southeast of Adairsville, near Perkins Mountain Road, approximately an hour northwest of Atlanta.
The Atlanta Business Chronicle reports It’s the same developer that recently filed plans to build a $17 billion data center, “Project Sail,” in Coweta County.
For the Bartow project, the company plans to construct six buildings, each about 379,000 square feet and using about 72 megawatts of power. Data centers have massive power requirements. Through 2037, data centers will account for almost 83% of Georgia Power’s electricity demand from large potential new customers.
In addition, water use is a big issue as well. The Bartow County project is expected to use about 15,000 gallons of water per day, and it would use closed-loop water technology to reduce water and sewer demand.
The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2031.
