Major Expansion Set For Atlantic Station

If you’ve been to Atlantic Station recently, you’ll see cranes in the sky, the most ominous sign that something new is afoot in the mixed-use development, which debuted in 2005 to much acclaim. Since then, the area was softened as alternative housing has sprouting on the city’s southwest side and small-time criminals made the place a nuisance.

But now, Atlantic Station is about to undergo a major expansion. After 13 years as a crown jewel of Midtown development, the site is about to get an overhaul that will include  a mesh of vintage and modern-style architecture. At the same time, there will be some strategic demolition of some structures best left in the past.

Welcome to Atlantic Yards. Hines says the development will consist of 500,000 square feet of progressive office space in twin buildings. “Hines will work with Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture (HPA) as the design architect and Wakefield Beasley & Associates (WBA) will be the architect of record,” the company says on its website.

The amenities will include new retail development, quarters dedicated to fitness, dining, roof-top terraces, bike storage and collaboration areas.
