The ongoing Underground Atlanta redevelopment just got a boost with the announcement of a new hotel to anchor the development.
Real estate investment company WRS shared its vision for Underground, which includes the area being a central hub for retail, commercial as well as hotel space.
Underground Atlanta getting hotel, housing, nightclub
The remaking of Underground Atlanta will focus on a four-block area of downtown. A hotel, workforce housing and a nightclub are in the works.
Here are the details on the plans for Underground Atlanta redevelopment:
Block One: Yotel hotel being built
On Block One, Yotel, an international hotel, will make its metro area debut. The space will include YotelPAD on the nearly 2-acre site.
In addition to hotels abroad, Yotel has four city-center hotels stateside in New York, Boston, San Francisco and Washington D.C..
Block Two: Residential tower
Filling a much-needed housing need in downtown Atlanta, Block Two will consist of a residential tower. Development plans are in the permitting phase with an estimated start date end of 2020.
Block Three: Workforce housing
On Block Three, around 130 housing units geared toward the workforce will be built by Prestwick Companies.
The workforce housing was originally planned for Block Two, but has been moved to the 3+ acre site at the southwest corner of Central and Alabama.
The housing will feature a mix of street-level retail focused on the needs of the neighborhood and Georgia State’s growing student body.
The development, known as The Avery, will hold around 130 units of housing with one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom options.
Around 104 units will be set aside as affordable for families earning 60% of the area median income or below. Around 26 units will go for the market rate.
Block Four: Future nightclub & restaurant
On Block Four, an LGBTQ+-friendly cabaret, restaurant and dance club called Future will find its home.
Located on the southwest corner of Pryor and Alabama, Future will be a 14,000-square-foot night club and restaurant geared toward LGBTQ+ patrons.
Owners Keith Young and Hoosh Mishu have signed a 10-year lease and have brought on Atlanta-based professional drag queen, Phoenix, who competed on “RuPaul’s Drag Race, to lead the cabaret show.

In the past year, the electric scooter became one of Atlanta’s most popular means of quick and inexpensive transportation. Now, if found riding one in the street, riders can face a ticket up to $1,000.
In the past week, the Atlanta Police Department is cracking down on scooter usage by introducing campaigns to keep scooter riders in order. The newest campaign effects the city’s BeltLine implementing reduced speed zones along the Eastside Trail.
Here’s the new Atlanta scooter law: 8 mph in some areas
The slower speed zones reduce the 15 miles per hour speed limit to 8 mph between 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. from Monday to Thursday and 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. from Friday to Monday.
The campaign aims to “regulate dockless use, address reckless, dangerous, and inconsiderate behavior, and reduce clutter on the trails.”
Earlier this year in January, the city council passed regulations that targeted scooter companies requiring an annual $12,000 permit to operate 500 scooters; each additional scooter is $50.
Under these regulations, companies that operate shareable dockless mobility devices banned scooters from sidewalks and pedestrians spaces restricting scooters to streets and bike lanes. In attempts to decrease the clutter of scooters strewn about the sidewalks and walkways, the only time a scooter is to be on a sidewalk is if it’s being parked in a bike rack.
The city is no longer only holding companies accountable for properly handling scooters, now riders as well. Those who fail to adhere to new regulations while operating scooters must abide by rules that include but not limited to:
- No riding on sidewalks
- No cellphone usage operating a scooter
- No multiple riders on one scooter
The APD wants to riders to comply with scooter regulations and stay off sidewalks but ride in the streets.
“If you’re using anything with wheels to get around Midtown or downtown Atlanta, we ask that you be in the street following the rules of the road and staying with the flow of traffic,” said APD Maj. Darin Schierbaum.
Atlanta is not the only Georgia city to lay down the law when it comes to the new scooter craze. Smyrna, Marietta, Norcross and Alpharetta banned the scooters within city limits.
