The Atlantic Station Tax Allocation District was established in 1999 to facilitate the redevelopment of a 138-acre brownfield site, which had been contaminated due to almost a century of heavy industrial use. The redevelopment will make maximum use of alternative transportation modes to minimize congestion, improve air quality, and connect major activity centers while also creating a 24-hour environment where one can live, work, and play. The project will ultimately include 1.6 million square feet of retail, 6 million square feet of office and entertainment space, over 4,000 residential units, and 1,150 hotel rooms.
Atlantic Station will lay the framework for a more pedestrian and transit-oriented city. This project will transform east/west links into more efficient, aesthetically pleasing transportation corridors and create a financing vehicle for a mass transit link between the Arts Center MARTA Station and points beyond. The TAD will also facilitate the redevelopment of area corridors, including the new 17th Street Bridge, and improve infrastructure throughout the redevelopment district.
