Long before there were master-planned, lifestyle success stories like Avalon, The Battery Atlanta, and Halcyon, there was Atlantic Station.
Long before Atlantic Station, there was a dirty old steel mill.
Now Atlantic Station, a template for brownfield redevelopment and live-work-play repurposing of urban places, is about to turn 20 years old. And it counts roughly as many annual visitors—11 million—as Georgia has people, according to owner Hines.
Come Oct. 21, Atlantic Station will have officially been open for two decades. (Initial phases of the 138-acre mega-venture were developed by Jacoby and AIG Global Real Estate Investment Corporation.) To celebrate its 20th birthday, the district recently announced a Roaring 20s-themed party will happen the evening of Saturday, Oct. 25, with more commemoration activities to be announced soon. Those shindigs will span for a full year.
The unique, private district (yes, it counts its own zip code, 30363) sprung from the industrial ashes of Atlantic Steel Mill, which closed in 1990 after nearly a century in business and sat vacant for years. The process of transforming soot to Atlantic Station’s own mini skyline started gaining steam in the early 2000s, and as a 12-story AMLI apartment hub’s recent debut proves, that evolution continues today.
A few important numbers, according to Hines: Atlantic Station today counts more than 8 million square feet of hotel, residential, office, and retail development. More than 6,000 people call the district home. Its offices (more than 2 million square feet total) are home to powerhouse brands such as Microsoft, Wells Fargo, and Piedmont Healthcare. Some 250 festivals and events are staged at Atlantic Station annually.
The evolution hasn’t been without turbulence. Issues involving crime, loitering, singing planters, questionable land use, and the perception that Atlantic Station was/is an over-regulated island cut off from the rest of the city had plagued the district in years past.
The 20th-anniversary announcement this week paints a rosier picture, however.
It describes Atlantic Station as a city within the city, a “vibrant symbol of innovation and reinvention at the heart of Atlanta,” and an “inclusive gathering place for people from all walks of life” that’s alive with billions in investment and thousands of jobs. Vikram Mehra, Hines’ senior managing director, believes the district embodies Atlanta’s “Resurgens” motto. “Over the past 20 years,” Mehra noted in the announcement, “[Atlantic Station] has grown from a visionary redevelopment into a vibrant, mixed-use district and a center of economic and cultural vitality.”
No one would argue that Midtown-ish Atlanta would be better served today by a filthy, ghostly former steel mill. But with such a momentous occasion on the horizon, it seemed an appropriate time to gauge public opinion. Please take a second to log a vote below.

Following a surge of buyer interest, developers creating a new community on an island near historic downtown Savannah have closed on more land to expand the project’s scope and keep construction going.
National residential developer Trilogy Investment Company has acquired more than 7 acres on Hutchinson Island in Savannah’s River District, where 57 new homes are now slated to be built as part of The Isling at Savannah Harbor.
The purchase price for Trilogy’s second development parcel on the island was $9.8 million, per project officials.
Trilogy has partnered with Atlanta-based real estate investment firm Kingdom Estates on the project, which broke ground in March with promises of urban walkability in an island setting across the water from downtown.
The land acquisition follows what Trilogy calls strong sales momentum at the riverside enclave, where half of the initial Phase I home releases are under contract. The next round of homes will now be built according to demand and sales, rather than moving forward later as a second phase. Currently, nine houses are under construction, with more scheduled to go vertical soon, according to Trilogy officials.

Jason Joseph, Trilogy’s CEO and managing partner, said buyer response to The Isling has exceeded the company’s expectations. Savannah has notched impressive growth in recent years and emerged as a darling of national travel and “Best Of” lists, including the No. 4 spot on Travel + Leisure readers’ ranking of the 15 best U.S. cities last month.
“Having half of our initial release under contract is a clear testament to the demand and energy surrounding this one-of-a-kind community,” Joseph said in a project update. “This latest acquisition allows us to continue delivering thoughtfully designed homes without interruption, while reinforcing our commitment to shaping the future of Savannah’s urban residential landscape.”
The Isling project was formerly known as The Reserve at Savannah Harbor. The current developers partnered to acquire The Isling’s initial parcel for $17 million last year. Beyond the new construction, the site counts a few large homes and some infrastructure next to golf course links but little else.
The Isling’s property is set across the Savannah River from the city’s famed River Street, near the Talmadge Memorial Bridge. It’s a five-minute drive—or short ferry ride—from Savannah’s downtown Historic District, according to project leaders.
The initial phase will see 90 homes total—a mix of townhomes, duplexes, and single-family dwellings.
Example of home facades bound for The Isling. The architecture will include “inviting front porches, elevated foundations, and… natural materials such as brick, stucco, and wood that harmonize with the surrounding environment,” per developers. Courtesy of Trilogy Investment Company

Prices listed so far start at $835,000 for a three-bedroom, four-bathroom townhome with 2,093 square feet.
The priciest offering to date—an estate home with four bedrooms and five bathrooms in 3,500 square feet—is asking $1.65 million. That home is under contract.
When completed, The Isling will see 198 residences in what officials call a mix of Coastal and Lowcountry architectural styles and floorplans meant to complement the island’s scenery. Planned amenities include bocce and pickleball courts, a resort-style pool, bountiful gardens, and a large clubhouse for events and gatherings.
Options will include single-family dwellings with city views, deep-water river homes, rowhomes, duets (that’s fancy speak for “duplex”), as well as golf course and terrace properties. Custom home design and build company Southern Coastal Homes is onboard for construction, in partnership with architecture firm A Classical Studio.
Trilogy reps have told Urbanize Atlanta the construction timeline calls for completing the full project in less than four years from now. Find more context and imagery in the gallery above.

A new downtown commercial block and street overhaul aren’t the only significant changes coming to Avondale Estates’ main drag.
Within earshot of MARTA and a popular PATH Foundation trail, a fresh concept called Galore Market is transforming a former auto business and nondescript building at the DeKalb County city’s western edge.
Galore Market hopes to open in October in the corner building the owners recently purchased at 2711 E. College Ave., according to Michael Wess, a Bull Realty partner who brokered the sale. The same team operates O4W Market, a grocery concept on Decatur Street in Old Fourth Ward.
Market plans call for 2,300 square feet of interior space and roughly 700 square feet of outdoor patios. Expect a selection of organic foods along with beer and wine.
“[It] will have great space to sit outside and relax but will also appeal to passersby… for quick stop and pick-ups,” Wess wrote via email. “[The proprietor] is looking for someone to operate the upstairs space—perhaps doing tacos or something similar.”

The building in question most recently operated as a discount tire shop.
According to a LoopNet listing, the two-story commercial structure spanned 4,800 square feet and included 15 parking spaces in its previous state.
More than 17,000 vehicles pass the site per day, and 4,300 daily riders use the Avondale MARTA station one block to the west, per marketing materials.

The market will be positioned at the western end of Avondale Estates’ ongoing Complete Street overhaul of U.S. Highway 278 (North Avondale Road/East College Avenue).
That project is remaking a five-lane highway and basic sidewalk that pass the Town Green and many of Avondale Estates’ most popular restaurants and shops, reducing the roadway to three lanes for 1.15 miles. Changes call for a 10-foot-wide path for pedestrians and bicyclists, upgraded traffic signals, a center median, landscape buffer, pedestrian and bike crossings, as well as road repaving and re-striping.
Avondale Estates officials recently told Urbanize Atlanta the Complete Street project is on pace to finish construction in January.
Find a closer look at Galore Market plans in the gallery above.

The market will be positioned at the western end of Avondale Estates’ ongoing Complete Street overhaul of U.S. Highway 278 (North Avondale Road/East College Avenue). That project is remaking a five-lane highway and basic sidewalk that pass the Town Green and many of Avondale Estates’ most popular restaurants and shops, reducing the roadway to three lanes for 1.15 miles. Changes call for a 10-foot-wide path for pedestrians and bicyclists, upgraded traffic signals, a center median, landscape buffer, pedestrian and bike crossings, as well as road repaving and re-striping. Avondale Estates officials recently told Urbanize Atlanta the Complete Street project is on pace to finish construction in January.

First look: Adaptive-reuse market, hangout bound for E. College Avenue

A new downtown commercial block and street overhaul aren’t the only significant changes coming to Avondale Estates’ main drag. Within earshot of MARTA and a popular PATH Foundation trail, a fresh concept called Galore Market is transforming a former auto business and nondescript building at the DeKalb County city’s western edge. Galore Market hopes to open in October in the corner building the owners recently purchased at 2711 E. College Ave., according to Michael Wess, a Bull Realty partner who brokered the sale. The same team operates O4W Market, a grocery concept on Decatur Street in Old Fourth Ward.Market plans call for 2,300 square feet of interior space and roughly 700 square feet of outdoor patios. Expect a selection of organic foods along with beer and wine. “[It] will have great space to sit outside and relax but will also appeal to passersby… for quick stop and pick-ups,” Wess wrote via email. “[The proprietor] is looking for someone to operate the upstairs space—perhaps doing tacos or something similar.”

The building in question most recently operated as a discount tire shop. According to a LoopNet listing, the two-story commercial structure spanned 4,800 square feet and included 15 parking spaces in its previous state. More than 17,000 vehicles pass the site per day, and 4,300 daily riders use the Avondale MARTA station one block to the west, per marketing materials.
