Halcyon district lands ‘missing piece’ Trader Joe’s at 5-year anniversary

Halcyon district lands ‘missing piece’ Trader Joe’s at 5-year anniversary

Five years after the $500-million Halcyon district began opening as a Forsyth County answer to Avalon’s success, project leaders say they’ve filled a crucial void by signing popular California-based grocer Trader Joe’s.
Halcyon developers RocaPoint Partners announced today Trader Joe’s will open a 13,500-square-foot store at the mixed-use hub, joining seven other locations dotted throughout metro Atlanta, including stores in Buckhead, Midtown, and Sandy Springs.
Trader Joe’s will occupy a building on a new flank of Halcyon along McFarland Parkway, near a recently opened Chick-fil-A and the Big Creek Greenway’s trailhead.
RocaPoint Partners principal Phil Mays called the grocery “the missing puzzle piece that fits right in, functioning as a vital service provider that helps to complete our district” in an announcement.

Trader Joe’s is considered part of the 135-acre Halcyon plan’s under-construction third phase. In addition to Chick-fil-A, retailers Five Guys, Chase Bank, and Chewy Vet Care have signed on for the next facet of development.
Halcyon initially broke ground in early 2016 with no public funding support.

Since then, it’s opened hundreds of housing units, added a mile of new trail connectivity to the Big Creek Greenway, preserved 50 acres of greenspace on the property, hosted more than 1,750 events, and tallied around 10 million visitors, according to RocaPoint Partners’ tabulations.
The project centerpiece is the Village Green (completed in phase one), which is surrounded by the six-stall Market Hall and local retailers such as Cherry Street Brewpub, CT Cantina & Taqueria, and Eclipse di Luna.
More recent additions include experiential retailers X-Golf and CMX Cinebistro, along with Embassy Suites by Hilton hotel and corporate tenants that include Morgan Stanley, which added 500 jobs to the district.

Study: Atlanta among top 5 “Most Fun Cities in America” for 2024

Study: Atlanta among top 5 “Most Fun Cities in America” for 2024

Atlantans considering closing out 2024 by partying in some other city might want to keep it local instead.
That’s one takeaway from a new analysis—the “Most Fun Cities in America” for 2024—by personal finance website WalletHub, which ranked ATL in the top five.
According to the study, Atlanta finished No. 4 among 180 cities when it comes to sheer variety of fun things to do, including options that won’t break the bank.
Only Las Vegas (No. 1), Orlando, and Miami, respectively, ranked higher.
Each city was evaluated on 65 key metrics across three categories: entertainment and recreation, nightlife and parties, and costs.
On a per capita basis, everything from beer halls, dance clubs, music venues, comedy clubs, movie theaters, hiking trails, playgrounds, and public park space was considered.
In terms of wallet consciousness, average beer and wine prices, restaurant meal costs, three-star hotel room prices, and general cost of living were taken into account, per WalletHub.
Atlanta shined in the nightlife and parties rank (No. 6) as well as entertainment and recreation (No. 8), but it was squarely in the bottom half (No. 124) when it comes to costs. WalletHub considered only the city proper in each case—and not the broader metro areas.
Their Top 10 lineup of most fun American cities right now looks like this:
Elsewhere in Georgia, Columbus (No. 123) and Augusta (No. 140) made the most-fun cut.
Thoroughly entertaining cities such as Savannah, Athens, and Decatur did not rank, but fear not! That’s because WalletHub’s rundown considered only the top 150 most populated cities in the country, plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state, with those being Columbus and Augusta, respectively, in Georgia’s case.

The remaining Beltline Southside Trail segments might not be finished with construction and open for a while, but when they arrive, they’ll have a built-in pitstop with a familiar name but exclusive food offerings.
Atlanta-based stone-baked pizza purveyors Mellow Mushroom announced today that a unique Grant Park prototype location with frontage on the Beltline corridor has opened.
The latest Mellow Mushroom location (of more than 160 across 16 states) anchors The Boulevard at Grant Park apartment community developed post-pandemic by Charleston-based Middle Street Partners.
Located where Boulevard crosses the Beltline, at the southern rim of Grant Park, the 3,400-square-foot space includes two patios facing the under-construction Southside Trail corridor.

The Grant Park location, created in partnership with The Culinary Edge, represents what Mellow Mushroom calls a “significant evolution” and “fast-fine prototype” for the brand that leans into urban design, guest-friendly tech, and new menu items, including a hand-held category called “panizzis” that will be exclusive to the Beltline location.
Other aspects include hand-painted murals, counter-service ordering, a bar dishing mocktails and cocktails, table-locator devices, back-of-the-house system upgrades, exclusive pizza varieties, and a “curated music program that changes by the time of day and season,” per Mellow Mushroom’s announcement. (Peep the full menu here.)

The Boulevard development marked the Atlanta debut for Middle Street. Meanwhile, in Midtown, the company’s two-tower Juniper Street high-rise project has fully topped out.
Construction of the Beltline’s Southside Trail on either side of Boulevard (west toward West End, and east toward Ormewood Park) has hit unanticipated snags this year.
According to the Beltline’s most recent construction updates, Southside Trail Segments 2 and 3, which extend from Boulevard almost two miles west to beyond the downtown Connector, have encountered “unexpected relocation of fiber as well as the relocation of storm lines to accommodate the fiber in some areas.” That’s impacting current construction progress, which had set a completion date of early 2026, ahead of FIFA World Cup games that year.
Meanwhile, Southside Trail Segments 4 and 5, which will connect the Mellow Mushroom location with points east around to Ormewood Park, came up against “underground utility challenges” at United Avenue that have bumped back that project’s timeline from finishing in summer 2025 to sometime next fall. That section is 1.2 miles long.
In the meantime, have a closer look at how the Mellow Mushroom Grant Park prototype turned out in the gallery above.

$300M Doraville Project on Track
$300M Doraville Project on Track
Initial phases of the proposed Lotus Grove district are on pace to see vertical construction in summer 2025, with an expected total cost north of $300 million, according to Urbanize Atlanta. Atlanta-based Insignia is developing low-rise retail and restaurants and a 12-story multifamily tower in Doraville that will include 456 apartment units and amenity options. Resia is the helming the apartment project.
The project is slated for 5597 Buford Highway just outside Interstate 285 Loop. The site was once populated by a Kmart, which has since been demolished.
Lotus Grove’s retail and residential components are expected to be up and going by sometime in 2027.
Lotus Grove will eventually see two 12-story residential towers (with 780 units total) as part of roughly 1 million square feet of new construction. Other facets would include a national hotel and a public park designed to be activated for events.
