What's actually coming out of the ground on the Westside
Five mixed-use projects, three at-risk financings, and one quietly-rezoned tract that nobody's talking about yet. A working pipeline for the Westside.

The Westside has been the loudest sub-market story in Atlanta for three years running, but the noise has gotten louder than the actual delivery. Here's a working pipeline of what's real, what's at risk, and one thing nobody's talking about yet.
What's actually getting built
Five mixed-use projects are out of the ground or close to it. Combined, they'll deliver roughly 1.8M SF of new space — 60% residential, 25% retail, 15% office — over the next 18 months. Pre-leasing on the office and retail portions has been mixed; one project is essentially sold-out on the retail side, two are around 40% pre-leased, one is single digits.
What's at risk
Three financings are in renegotiation or stalled. These were originally penciled at 2022 cap rates and 2022 construction costs, neither of which has held. Two are in active conversation with new equity partners. One looks like it may not deliver in this cycle.
“We're advising buyers and tenants to underwrite Westside delivery dates with a 6–12 month buffer on anything not already topped out.”
What nobody's talking about yet
There's a roughly 14-acre tract just south of the main development corridor that quietly got rezoned to mixed-use in Q4. The current ownership is a family holding company that has held the land for two generations. They aren't publicly marketing it. We've talked to them — they're listening.
If you're an institutional investor with patient capital looking for ground-up exposure to the Westside without paying current pricing, this is a conversation worth having. Reach out direct.
