by Alex Tostado November 13, 2019

In 1864, General William T. Sherman burned Atlanta to the ground, including the area around the Zero Mile Post marking the terminus of the Western & Atlantic Railroad. Now, 155 years later, South Downtown is on fire again but this time, it is as one of the hottest development submarkets in the Southeast. With the still-active downtown rail yards at its center, more than $10 billion in new development is either completed, under construction or in the planning stages. This “Downtown Ring of Fire” stretches from Centennial Olympic Park and Mercedes-Benz Stadium to Castleberry Hill and over to Underground Atlanta. The project SSG Realty Partners recently brought to market, Artisan Yards, is a 9.9-acre site at the intersection of Ted Turner Drive (historic Spring Street) and Whitehall Street. It is currently the headquarters of Gourmet Foods International, which has outgrown the property and is relocating to a new facility. The primary catalyst for this significant new development momentum is the $1.6 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of the Atlanta Falcons and the 2018 MLS Cup champions Atlanta United.
