Downtown Atlanta, Georgia
Managed IT Services, Cybersecurity & Compliance for Downtown Atlanta’s Government, Hospitality & Entertainment Community
Downtown Atlanta is undergoing $8.2 billion in public and private investment — $1.1 billion already underway and $7.1 billion planned — anchored by Centennial Yards, a $5 billion, 50-acre redevelopment adjacent to Mercedes-Benz Stadium and State Farm Arena. The project’s first residential tower, The Mitchell, has opened with 304 new apartment units, alongside Hotel Phoenix, which opened in November 2025. The former CNN Center is being reimagined as The Center — a mixed-use destination timed to welcome the public ahead of FIFA World Cup 2026, with Cosm, an immersive sports and entertainment venue, set to open in June 2026, and a new Live Nation 5,000-seat arena expected in 2027.
Atlanta-based tech entrepreneur David Cummings — the same founder behind Atlanta Tech Village and Salesloft — is reimagining 57 buildings across historic downtown, with Atlanta Tech Village opening a second location in the former Sylvan Hotel. Georgia State University’s planned GSU Blueline will create a 3.7-mile pedestrian connection through campus, linking housing, classrooms, and green spaces as downtown’s residential population continues to grow ahead of the World Cup.
