GROUNDBREAKING PROJECTS CURRENTLY IN THE WORKS
THE STITCH 2 Atlanta’s newest public park will be on top of the Downtown Connector – literally. Known as The Stitch, this visionary project will create approximately 14 acres of multi-purpose urban greenspace above a 0.75- mile stretch of highway between Ted Turner Drive and Piedmont Avenue. The linear park will include pathways, a skate park, water features, event pavilions, open lawns and pollinator gardens. In addition to reconnecting neighborhoods that were divided by the construction of I-75/I-85, The Stitch has the potential to spur billions in additional private investments.
ATLANTA CIVIC CENTER 1
Situated on 19 acres, the Atlanta Civic Center embodies the city’s rich civic and arts history. A multi-phased redevelopment of the site will preserve this legacy with affordable housing, a state-of-the-art theater complex, an arts-focused high school, an upscale hotel, grocery store, commercial space and office accommodations. Extensive renovations will also be made to the public plaza.
The Atlanta Civic Center will feature 1,300 new housing units – 40% of which will be affordable.
The Stitch will add more than 3,000 new and preserved housing units, along with up to $3 billion in additional private investment projects.
