Photos: Centennial Yards unveils first new tower, now seeking renters Josh Green Mon, 07/28/2025 - 15:02

The first new tower at downtown’s multi-billion-dollar Gulch replacement is ready for its closeup. 

Centennial Yards Company officials have begun pre-leasing efforts for The Mitchell, a 19-story project with 304 apartments that marks the megaproject’s first ground-up new building to start delivering. 

Rentals range from small studios to three-bedroom options the size of many older Atlanta bungalows. 

The Mitchell, which broke ground in November 2022, is being marketed as a stylish, mixed-use, luxury addition to Atlanta’s intown urban living options. It’s considered part of Centennial Yards' first phase of development.

Here’s a pricing breakdown for The Mitchell, as provided by Centennial Yards Company reps today: 

• Studios from $1,450 to $2,500 per month (434 to 638 square feet)
• One-bedrooms from $1,800 to $2,460 per month (649 to 746 square feet)
• Two-bedrooms from $2,900 to $3,635 per month (1,191 to 1,363 square feet)
• Three-bedrooms from $5,688 to $5,753 per month (1,539 to 1,549 square feet)

Perks with some units include floor-to-ceiling windows with views of downtown and Mercedes-Benz Stadium, walk-in closets, and balconies. (According to a floorplan breakdown, move-ins will start in mid-September.) 

Building amenities call for a rooftop pool and event lawn (facing east, or toward South Downtown), a pet spa, coworking space, fitness center, and club lounge. At the street, about 16,000 square feet of retail is in the works. 

Last winter, Thai tapas concept Khao from the 26 Thai team was announced as one tenant for The Mitchell’s ground-floor retail space.

Elsewhere at Centennial Yards, another 19-story tower, the 292-key Hotel Phoenix, is on pace to open sometime this fall, marking the district’s first hotel. 

At the under-construction entertainment district, Centennial Yards Company officials announced in May they’ve signed a long-term lease with entertainment giant Live Nation to bring live music and events to a new 5,300-person capacity venue, slated to open sometime in 2027. 

That music venue will neighbor the third Cosm venue in the U.S., a three-story immersive entertainment concept that started going vertical in May. 

Centennial Yards facets that have already opened include adaptive-reuse projects Centennial Yards South, Wild Leap Brewery, and the pedestrians-only Steele Bridge. 

Centennial Yards Company—a partnership between an affiliate of CIM Group and another group led by Atlanta Hawks owner Tony Ressler—is serving as the project’s master developer. Centennial Yards is expected to ultimately cost $5 billion and span some 8 million square feet of mixed uses, described by its financial backers as one of the largest public-private partnerships in the U.S. right now. It's backed by a nearly $2-billion tax-incentive package, a record for Atlanta. 

Ultimately, the 50-acre downtown venture is expected to bring more than 2,000 residential units (at least 200 of them deemed affordable), more than 2,000 hotel rooms, and roughly 1 million square feet of retail across a decade of development. Overall, 8 million square feet of residential and commercial construction are planned. 

Have closer look at Centennial Yards' first (nearly) finished high-rise component in the gallery above. (Note: No photos of amenities and common areas were provided today.)

'Major' sections of Beltline's Northwest Trail near bidding phase Josh Green Mon, 07/28/2025 - 13:21

Atlanta Beltline Inc. expects to take steps toward eliminating significant gaps in the 22-mile multipurpose loop soon. 

Beltline leaders have scheduled information sessions and a walking tour next month for builders interested in bidding on three sections of the Northwest Trail described this month as “major” and previously as uniquely complex. 

All segments have been broken down into smaller sections for construction. Unlike most of the Beltline, none of them are in a former railroad corridor. 

They are Northwest Trail Segments 2A and 2C in Buckhead, and Segment 4B in Berkeley Park near Atlanta Waterworks reservoirs. 

Atlanta Beltline Inc.

Specifically, the Beltline is seeking to hire small and medium-sized construction firms in an effort to increase inclusivity and diversity.  

Two virtual sessions (each with the same information) will be presented for potential bidders on the afternoons of Aug. 6 and 7. That will be followed by a guided site walk on Aug. 8. 

Atlanta Beltline Inc.

Construction of the Northwest Trail was broken down into smaller components in an effort to open the door to “firms of varying sizes and capabilities to take part in building the 22-mile Beltline loop—one of the largest redevelopment efforts in Atlanta’s history,” per ABI leadership. 

The two segments in Buckhead near the Shepherd Center are collectively .4 miles long. Ditto for the segment in question in Berkeley Park. 

The Beltline's timeline calls for breaking ground on Segment 4 in September and opening it in April 2027. No groundbreaking timeline for Segment 2 in Buckhead has been set, though all real estate and easements work is expected to wrap early next year. 

The full Northwest Trail will span 4.3 miles. The corridor spans from the northern end of the Westside Trail (near Huff Road) and arches around through neighborhoods such as Blandtown and Buckhead before connecting with the Northeast Trail (near Lindbergh MARTA station and Armour Yards). 

Planned look of the suspension bridge over Peachtree Creek as part of Northwest Trail Segment 1.PATH Foundation/Atlanta Beltline Inc.

Other sections of the Northwest Trail—the eastern and western tips, if you will—are very much under construction. 

To the west, the .7-mile section in Blandtown (Segment 5) is on pace to open this fall. And in Buckhead, the .8-mile Segment 1 is scheduled to deliver in June, replete with a suspension bridge high over Peachtree Creek. 

A short piece of Segment 4 near Northside Drive is also unofficially open now, with a new brewery pitstop set to debut alongside it in August. 

To date, 12.6 miles of the mainline Beltline loop have been completed, with several segments now under construction, per project leaders. More than 10 miles of connector trails are also finished. 

The Beltline’s goal is to finish 18 miles of trail (most of it contiguous) before FIFA World Cup matches begin next June. 

The full loop is projected to be in place by 2030.
