“Cooper Carry moved its Atlanta offices to 191 Peachtree after 26 years in the same Buckhead building. The change in enviornment has brought vigor and re-newed enthusiasm to our employees who enjoy the many lunchtime restaurants and shopping opportunities just steps away. Before the move, we had over 100 employees who drove alone evey day to and from the office. Today, of our 100 employees, fewer than 30 drive to work. All others take transit, walk or bicycle, and they love the change to a lifestyle that supports greater environmental sustainability.”

INVESTMENT & INCENTIVESTHE MOMENTUM JUST KEEPS BUILDING.

Downtown has seen more than $2.9 billion in investments since 2007, plus an additional $182 million in public

investments toward its infrastructure. And that’s not all: $2.1 billion in proposals are currently on the table. Gener-

ous incentives, coupled with the allure of living and working in an urban environment, have made the area one of the most

prosperous in the city. Consider this: even though Downtown only comprises 3 percent of the city’s land, it generates

11 percent of its overall sales tax revenue.

“Since 2000, neighborhoods within three miles of Downtown Atlanta have seen a 61 percent surge in residents aged 25 to 34 who have at least a four-year degree, according to U.S. Census figures. That’s almost 10,000 new patrons for everything from apartment and condo developments to restaurants and bars to computer and cell phone vendors. The same thing has happened in dozens of other cities, but the movement is twice as robust in Atlanta as it is nationwide.” –Atlanta Journal-Constitution, May 2011

RETAIL & SPENDINGAN UNTAPPED SPENDING MARKET.

Downtown is projected to add significant retail demand over the next 20 years that could amount to 725,000 square

feet of absorption. Who’s driving the demand? Young people (the median age of a Downtown resident is 30.2) with

higher incomes who choose to live Downtown so they can walk to dinner, shops and attractions. They’re joined by a

booming student population—Downtown is home to 53 percent of the city’s college-goers. Take these desirable de-

mographics, add an additional 22,000 daytime workers by 2030, and you have an area that’s ripe for retail growth.

Downtown spending generates $23,007,000 in sales tax revenue. This means that even though

Downtown has 4% of the city’s population, it generates 8% of its sales tax revenue.

ular entertainment venues and affordable housing options. As this population continues to grow, so will its need for quality

places to live.

AN EXPANDING POPULATION ON THE HUNT FOR HOMES.
