Atlantic Station

Atlantic StationAtlantic Station in Atlanta strives to be the city’s premier live-work-play communities. A massive renovation has been undertaken on the former Atlantic Steel site, and what was once an industrial eyesore is now a completely transformed, “city within a city.” How big is Atlantic Station- well, it was given its own zip code.

The shopping segment of Atlantic Station officially opened in late October 2005, and more restaurants and nightlife spots continue to open. Atlantic Station signed a deal with the Dolce Group to bring their signature restaurants (Dolce, The Geisha House) and an upscale bowling alley/lounge concept (Ten Pin) to Atlantic Station.

The Atlantic Station development features condos, lofts, and townhomes, a park and bike/pedestrian paths, office space, and a slew of retail businesses, including shops and restaurants. A multiplex movie theatre is one of the major features of Atlantic Station. Shopping includes big-name department stores like Dillard’s and furniture discount superstores like IKEA. Restaurants include popular chains like California Pizza Kitchen, Mama Fu’s Noodle House, Moe’s Southwest Grill, and Marble Slab Creamery. In addition, there is a colorful, gourmet Mexican restaurant called Rosa Mexicano, which is a legend in New York City.
