Atlanta BeltLine receives national attention
Sure, we know the Atlanta BeltLine is going to transform Atlanta in so many incredible ways, and now the rest of the world does too. That’s because the project was recently featured as part of a list of seven significant urban development projects happening around the country. That’s right, our Atlanta BeltLine baby was featured alongside such projects as redevelopment of the Seattle waterfront, creation of Chicago’s Millennium Reserve, and the construction of a bullet train to connect California’s cities. And in both articles the BeltLine is noted as the most impressive project of all. We’re so proud we could burst!
Take some time to read the articles for yourself. They say difficult economic times breed creativity and we can’t think of any stories that illustrate that idea more clearly.

And the latest news on the BeltLine itself? Perennial Properties is proposing the development of a new apartment building along the BeltLine and across the street from the future Ponce City Market. We’ll of course keep you posted on the outcome of the proposal. If you want to keep up with all the latest news specific to the BeltLine, check out the new blog they launched last month.
Buckle up, it’s going to be an exciting 2012!
