Centennial Yards Company has topped out The Mitchell, the first residential tower of Centennial Yards, a $5 billion mixed-use development in downtown Atlanta. Construction of the apartment building is expected to be complete by the middle of next year, with first move-ins slated for summer 2025.

Designed by Atlanta-based architecture firms TVS and Goode Van Slyke Architecture (GVSA), the 19-story building will provide 304 modern, design-forward apartments ranging from studios to three-bedroom residences. The open-layout residences will feature kitchens with premium-grade appliances, plus floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies with views of the Atlanta skyline.

The building’s full floor of residential amenities will include a pool with event lawn and grilling stations, on-site coworking spaces, dog run with pet spa, and fitness center with lounge, as well as 16,000 sf of street-level retail space.

The Mitchell is located across from Mercedes-Benz Stadium and adjacent to the Atlanta Hawks’ State Farm Arena. 

Centennial Yards also has topped out a 19-story, 292-key boutique hotel expected later this year. Across the street from The Mitchell, Centennial Yards recently broke ground on the sports and entertainment district that will bring about 470,000 sf of entertainment, retail, and restaurant space to a 7.5-acre site adjacent to the Five Points MARTA station, connecting the site with the rest of the city. In partnership with Cosm, an immersive technology, media, and entertainment company, Centennial Yards also plans to deliver a 70,000-sf, three-level immersive entertainment venue.

In all, the 50-acre, mixed-use Centennial Yards project will create several new city blocks, public open space, and up to 12 million sf of new retail, hotel, and residential buildings and sports and entertainment venues.
