The company will continue to work with US-based architecture firm Perkins+Will to further refine the plan.

Centennial Yards involves transforming a 50-acre area of parking lots and former railyards into a mixed-use development featuring buildings, amenities and public spaces.

The area is located near the city’s key attractions such as the Atlanta Hawks’ State Farm Arena and Mercedes-Benz Stadium, as well as Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) stations that connects the site with the rest of the city.
