Boulevard Crossing Park will be located at the intersection of Boulevard and Englewood Avenues just south of Grant Park.  This should bring even more revitalization to this struggling part of Southeast Atlanta.  Currently there is light industrial and commercial on the 21 acres.  The land was assembled by The Trust for Public Land and cost an estimated $9,000.000.

This is just 1 park in the proposed multi-park Beltline project.  As many as 20 are planned for the next 10 years.

The Ellis, formally known as the graffiti-laden eye sore at the corner of Forsyth and Peachtree, is slated to be re-opened this October!  Empty for 20 years The Ellis will get to enjoy its resurgency on the upswing of Downtown’s revitalization movement.  Downtown Atlanta is certainly turning into a hot spot for trendy hotels, mega landmarks such as the Georgia Aquarium and the new World of Coke as well as returning companies looking to cash in on the buzz.

Plans are under way to start demolishing a section of Peachtree Road between Pharr and East Paces Ferry Roads.  This will be the first step towards turning the old Buckhead Village into a Rodeo Drive-like strip complete with luxury retailers ala Saks Fifth Avenue. 

Plans include a hotel, over 300 multi-family units and 350,000 square feet of retail space.  Phase 1 should be completed by November, 2009, says Ben Carter, founder and chairman of Ben Carter Properties LLC.
