Overview
Forge Atlanta is poised to become the most ambitious mixed-use development in Downtown Atlanta's modern history. Spanning 10 acres at the intersection of Ted Turner Drive and Whitehall Street, this transformative district will reshape the city's urban core by weaving luxury residential living, hospitality, retail, and entertainment into a single cohesive neighborhood. Phase I represents a $756 million capital investment, delivering approximately 600 luxury for-sale condominiums, a 300-room hotel, and 60,500 square feet of curated retail. When complete, the district will encompass more than 2,300 residences, office space, public plazas, and cultural venues.
Architecture and Design
The masterplan bears the signature of Nelson Worldwide, the firm behind The Battery Atlanta and the St. Regis Hotel in Buckhead. Five distinct towers will rise from a shared podium connecting retail, dining, and public amenities at street level. Each tower contributes to a unified skyline composition visible from every approach. The architectural language balances contemporary lines with contextual materiality, reflecting the energy of a new Atlanta and the permanence of a neighborhood built to endure. Ground-level massing fosters pedestrian engagement with activated storefronts, covered walkways, and generous public plazas.
Residences
The approximately 600 condominiums planned for Phase I will offer for-sale ownership in a fee simple condominium structure. While specific floor plans and finishes have not yet been released, the caliber of the design team and the scale of the investment suggest premium materials, thoughtful layouts, and sweeping views of the Downtown Atlanta skyline. Pre-sales are expected to begin in 2026, well ahead of the estimated 2028 to 2029 Phase I delivery.
Amenities
Residents will benefit from a mixed-use district designed around convenience and elevated daily life. The 300-room hotel anchors the hospitality component, providing meeting and event space for homeowners hosting private gatherings. More than 60,000 square feet of retail and entertainment will line the podium level, placing dining, shopping, and cultural experiences at residents' doorsteps. Future phases introduce public plazas and dedicated cultural venues. The most compelling amenity may be location itself: the Garnett MARTA station sits immediately adjacent, granting direct rail access to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Midtown, Buckhead, and the entire metropolitan transit network.
Location and Lifestyle
Dining and Retail Nearby
Forge Atlanta occupies a commanding position in the rapidly evolving South Downtown corridor. The development sits within easy reach of Centennial Yards, the massive mixed-use project transforming the former Gulch into a new entertainment and commercial hub. Mercedes-Benz Stadium and State Farm Arena, home to the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta Hawks, are less than a mile to the northwest. Underground Atlanta, undergoing its own revitalization, is a short walk to the north. The dining and retail landscape in this part of downtown is expected to expand considerably in the years ahead.
The Lifestyle
Living at Forge Atlanta will mean occupying a front-row position in one of the most consequential urban transformations underway in the American South. This is a development for buyers who recognize the value of entering an emerging corridor at its inflection point. With direct MARTA access, proximity to major sports and entertainment venues, and a district-scale collection of amenities surrounding the residences, Forge Atlanta offers a new model for luxury urban living in the heart of the city.
