You can thank the City of Atlanta then Commissioner of Planning Mike Dobbins for that. The City only agreed to support the 17th Street bridge if the plan was developed into something better than a glorified suburban "planned unit development."
Despite the architectural design of most individual buildings being poor at Atlantic Station, the plan is much, much stronger than the original vision for the site.
