Could it be a case where reality has outperformed the project renderings? 

One of the final voids in Atlantic Station’s 138-acre footprint is officially a thing of the past, as construction has wrapped and leasing launched at AMLI Atlantic Station, a mixed-use venture with unique exterior designs in a location that could hardly be more high-profile. 

The 12-story, partially terraced building overlooking Midtown’s section of the Connector, where Interstates 75 and 85 merge, began move-ins last month. Designed by Smith Dalia Architects, the 360-unit project fills the gap in Atlantic Station’s street grid where the Atlanta Open tennis tournament had long been played.

Up to two months of free rent (standard these days) is being offered as an incentive. Otherwise, rents start at $1,832 monthly for studio units with 585 square feet.

Now finished, the building's unique, terraced stance over the downtown Connector.

The largest two-bedroom, two-bathroom option (1,444 square feet) currently available starts at $4,643 per month. 

Building amenities are listed as a skyline deck with “panoramic Midtown views,” a coffee bar, a large fitness center, pet spa, coworking space (with “zoom rooms”), and a clubroom with a gaming area and kitchen. Transit enthusiasts will be happy to know shuttle service is being offered between the building and MARTA’s Arts Center station.

Perks of the apartments include 10-foot ceilings throughout, plus quartz countertops and backsplashes. 

AMLI Atlantic Station also includes roughly 25,000 square feet of shops and restaurants at street level. That’s on the side opposite the Connector, facing Market Street.

The project’s “dramatic stepped form creates terraces with a one-of-kind vista of Atlanta’s sweep from downtown to Midtown,” while expanding Atlantic Station’s mixed-use footprint, according to Smith Dalia designers.

AMLI bought the 2.3-acre site next to Atlantic Station’s Dillard’s for $10.5 million in 2016.

The developer currently operates and owns apartment communities to the east and west of Atlantic Station, with AMLI Arts Center in the heart of Midtown and AMLI Westside on Howell Mill Road.

The Atlantic Station project was initially proposed in a different incarnation back in 2016. It finally broke ground in fall 2022, promising to add visual intrigue to the live-work-play island that’s visible to hundreds of thousands of car commuters per day.
