So I was bored and decided to calculate the number of non-SFH residential units(apartments, condos, or townhomes) currently under construction in the Atlanta city limits at the moment.
-The total came out to be
9,867 units. About a third of those are in Midtown alone which is only a .80 square mile area. Pretty impressive.
-
4,701 multi-family units are currently proposed in Midtown.
-Across the entire city proper,
10,753+(one project didn't have number of units) multi-family units are currently being proposed or in planning.

This doesn't include projects in other hotspots around the metro like Decatur, Smyrna, or Perimeter Center. Safe to say Atlanta is approaching a residential(and economic) boom if we aren't already in one.
