This collection contains materials related to the conception and planning of the Atlantic Station development in Atlanta, GA.

Atlantic Station is the sustainable and mixed-use redevelopment of the historic Atlantic Steel Mill in Midtown Atlanta. With a 12.5M square foot master plan that stretches across its 138-acres, Atlantic Station is one of the largest urban brownfield redevelopments in the country. Jacoby Development first conceived of Atlantic Station during the 1996 Summer Olympics. Over the next 15 years, JDI worked to complete the $3 Billion project, which included the removal of 165,000 tons of soil from the property, the construction of the 17th Street Bridge over Interstate 75/85, and the development of a three-level, 8,000 space parking structure underneath the commercial core.
Today, Atlantic Station encompasses six million square feet of development, and includes more than 3,000 residential units, 7,000 employees, a hotel, and 11 acres of public parks.
