Atlantic Station’s recent growth spurt is continuing in a way that could hardly be more visible.
AMLI Atlantic Station—a 12-story, mixed-use building with stair-stepped designs overlooking Midtown’s section of the Connector, where Interstates 75 and 85 merge—has recently topped out, officials confirm to Urbanize Atlanta.

The 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 mixed-use mega-district that’s visible to hundreds of thousands of car commuters per day.

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 live-work-play footprint across more of its 138 acres, according to Smith Dalia designers.
AMLI Atlantic Station is on pace to deliver in early 2025, with pre-leasing beginning late this year, according to Peter Surette, AMLI’s regional marketing director for the Southeast.
AMLI bought the 2.3-acre site next to Atlantic Station’s Dillard’s for $10.5 million in 2016.
