ALTANTA-Downtown Atlanta is working to spark new development by identifying underutilized parcels of land—and facilitating funding for developers to build there. Central Atlanta Progress, a downtown development group, issued a map during Downtown Development Day last week that reveals five key areas it sees as ready for large redevelopments.

CAP’s map includes an area near Five Points MARTA Station called the “Gulch,” Fairlie-Poplar, Sweet Auburn and the so-called “railroad district” near Castleberry Hill. Jennifer Ball, vice president of planning for Central Atlanta Progress, tells GlobeSt.com there are 467 underutilized acres of land available in Atlanta’s urban core that are prime for development.
