  • Downtown Atlanta, Centered Near the Intersection of Peachtree Street And
    Downtown Atlanta - Making Headlines Lately, there has been a significant amount of news about Downtown Atlanta. Cousins Properties is finalizing the purchase of the 191 Peachtree Towers in Downtown and moving its 175-person headquarters operation from Cobb County to the building. The American Cancer Society recently announced the move of its national headquarters of 650 employees from DeKalb County to the Inforum building in Downtown. In addition, Habitat for Humanity moved its administrative headquarters from Americus, Georgia to 270 Peachtree Street this year, ultimately bringing in another 150 jobs. There have also been many headlines about the residential development boom, which is adding 8,000 units to Downtown in the next 2-3 years. The Georgia Aquarium, located in Downtown, attracted three million visitors in the short nine months it has been open. Why are all of these things happening? What is influencing people to move Downtown – whether to live, work, or play? Where exactly is Downtown? Downtown Atlanta, with its center near the intersection of Peachtree Street and Andrew Young International Boulevard, is bounded by North Avenue to the north, I-20 to the south, Northside Drive to the west, and Boulevard to the east. Downtown is a thriving place with a growing population of residents and office workers, as well as students, visitors, and conventioneers. Over 23,000 people live within Downtown’s four square miles, making it 60% higher in density than the City of Atlanta as a whole. With 137,000 people working Downtown, it also has the region’s largest concentration of employment in any one area.
