One of the largest municipal projects in Buckhead has gotten the green light and may begin construction sooner rather than later. Spearheaded by the Buckhead Community Improvement District (CID), the Lenox Boardwalk project would transform the area for pedestrians and motorists alike.

The boardwalk is part of a three-part project that includes major changes to the thoroughfares around Lenox Square mall encompassing Peachtree and Lenox roads.

This article will tell you all you need to know about the Lenox Boardwalk project.

What Is the Lenox Boardwalk?

The Lenox Boardwalk an urban linear park that aesthetically connects surrounding businesses and landmarks around the Lenox MARTA Station.

The next section of the project provides a showcase of the upscale shopping district around Phipps Boulevard and Peachtree Road. You can expect major facelifts around the area’s sidewalks, ramps and staircases.

The final piece of the puzzle is an elevated pedestrian and bicycle bridge connecting Lenox, Peachtree roads along with Phipps Boulevard.

The bridge will also be an entry and exit way onto HUB404, a half-mile greenspace planned for 400 in Buckhead that will sit above the highway.

The Lenox Boardwalk project in Atlanta is an urban development initiative aimed at transforming the area surrounding Lenox Square, one of the city’s premier shopping destinations. The project focuses on creating a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly environment that integrates retail, dining, and recreational spaces. Key features of the Lenox Boardwalk project include:

1. Enhanced Walkability

The design prioritizes pedestrian access, making it easier for visitors to navigate the area and enjoy outdoor spaces.

2. Public Spaces

The project plans to include parks, green spaces, and gathering areas to foster community interaction and promote leisure activities.

3. Commercial Development

There is an emphasis on attracting new businesses, restaurants, and entertainment venues to the area, enhancing the overall appeal of Lenox Square.

4. Transportation Improvements

The project aims to improve transportation links, potentially incorporating options for public transit, bike lanes, and enhanced vehicle access. The Lenox Boardwalk project reflects broader trends in urban development, focusing on sustainability, community engagement, and creating a lively urban environment. As the project progresses, it is expected to significantly impact the surrounding community and contribute to Atlanta’s urban landscape.

When Will the Lenox Boardwalk Be Built?

Construction on the Lenox Boardwalk as well as surrounding projects will begin at different stages in 2025.

The Buckhead CID was recently awarded $10 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program to help fund the boardwalk and HUB404 projects.

This plans are part of the Lenox Road Complete Safe Street project, which when completed will create a 1.25-mile pedestrian-friendly corridor between the Lenox MARTA station and Piedmont Road.
