The mixed-use community surrounding one of Atlanta's busiest transit stations is primed for a major upgrade.
In September, global investment firm Rubenstein Partners purchased the 47-acre Lindbergh City Center, a 20-year-old development encasing the Lindbergh MARTA train station, with plans to create a “great transit-oriented destination,” according to a company press release.
Rubenstein has now enlisted a team comprised of Cushman & Wakefield, Revel, ASD|SKY, and Gensler to tackle the revamp, official recently announced.
The plan to remake the center calls for a redesign of building exteriors, updating the existing retail footprint—and bringing in new local offerings, such as art galleries and restaurants—and opening up the space with new furniture, lighting, and event programming.
Cushman & Wakefield officials with experience at destinations like 725 Ponce, Colony Square, and Atlantic Station will be heading office leasing for the redevelopment.
Gensler is spearheading the interior redesign of a 35,000-square-foot office atrium. Expect a coffee and wine bar, game room, and communal work spaces connected to more than 80,000 square feet of retail options along the renewed Main Street.
Revel is heading up the redevelopment, merchandising, and leasing of the project’s retail components.
Retail leasing efforts are underway, officials said.
Architecture firm ASD|SKY is focused on reviving the pedestrian experience at the community, promising updated public infrastructure, landscape, art, and lighting.
“Through selective demolition, thoughtful architectural additions, signage, wayfinding, art, and landscape, we’re activating the site and creating a place people will choose to be,” ASD|SKY principal Michael Wirsching said in a prepared statement. “The result will be a textured and compelling street experience.”
Some of that entails cutting up outdoor spaces so dining “spills into the sidewalks and lobbies,” as well as “punching out office balconies” to build more open spaces for incoming and existing tenants, he added.
In coming weeks, the project should have a new name and logo, at which point more details should come to light.
