Centennial Yards begins next phase: New towers, entertainment district

Quote:
Development of the long-awaited Centennial Yards in downtown Atlanta is about to shift into a new gear.
The partners behind the $5 billion downtown project plan to begin construction this year on six buildings, including an entertainment district opposite State Farm Arena and Mercedes-Benz Stadium with components that will open in time for the 2026 World Cup, and joining a hotel and apartment tower already under construction.
Centennial Yards Co., which expects to file for land disturbance permits Monday, is embarking on the largest components yet in the ambitious 50-acre mini-city that’s been in planning since 2018. For decades, the land commonly known as “the Gulch” has been a jumble of rail lines and weedy parking lots that sit some 40 feet below the viaducts that make up surrounding streets.
Later this year, the developer plans to break ground on a 236-unit apartment mid-rise and begin retrofitting the former Norfolk Southern headquarters building into a 166-room hotel, both with ground-floor retail spaces that are slated to open in 2026 or 2027.
