CONTEMPLATIONS FROM THE COOLER |
Atlanta continues to attract innovation and investment, including some bold new developments slated for the urban core and the BeltLine. This is building on the economic and capital markets momentum we’ve seen cumulating over the last couple of quarters. Of course, our team (and savvy investors) are eager to source data to support what we hear around the in-person watercooler conversations (yep! those are happening again!) and seen teased in the headlines week after week.
CBRE Research has a full suite tracking metrics, but one that struck a chord to share in this newsletter is our Notable Tenant Movements that focuses on 20k SF tenant movements since 2018. Here are a couple of key takeaways. These are mantras we’ve been hearing, but supported by some compelling stats.
- If it was happening before the pandemic, it is accelerating in the recovery. 32% of deals were new to Atlanta pre-COVID; 40% since January 2020
- Midtown is still a beacon.54% of new deals to Atlanta since January 2020 went to Midtown
- Don’t discount the northern ‘burbs! Central Perimeter, Cumberland, and North Fulton captured 38% new Atlanta tenants since January 2020

| New Towers to Soar 35 and 37 Stories Over Midtown Skyline. |
Toll Bros., one of the country’s largest residential developers, plans to fill the project with student housing and apartments. The height for both towers includes 10 stories for parking. The student housing tower includes more height than when the project was first was proposed two years ago, rising from 31 to 35 stories. When originally proposed to the Midtown design review committee in 2019, the height of the towers did not include the 10 stories for parking. The added stories to the student housing tower are due to "economic viability," according to Toll Bros. spokesperson John M. Piedrahita. (https://bit.ly/2RjRTTh) |
