The first week of September, developer CIM Group and Centennial Yards Co. held the grand opening of The Mitchell, the first residential tower and ground-up building completed within the $5 billion Centennial Yards mixed-use development in downtown Atlanta.
When Is The Mitchell Set To Open in Downtown Atlanta?
The ambitious $5 billion Centennial Yards mixed-use development is set to welcome residents in late 2025. This 19-story luxury high-rise at 250 Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. SW marks a pivotal milestone in re-energizing the city’s historic core, promising a vibrant blend of urban living, retail, and cultural connectivity.
Driving just past Philips Arena on Centennial Olympic Parkway, one can’t miss The Mitchell, a towering structure with 304 modern residences, ranging from studios to three-bedroom apartments, designed for young professionals and urban dwellers seeking a sophisticated lifestyle.
Select units feature walk-in closets, private balconies, and floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views of the Atlanta skyline, including landmarks like Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Monthly rents range from $1,450 for a 434-square-foot studio to $5,753 for a 1,549-square-foot three-bedroom unit, reflecting the premium offerings of this state-of-the-art tower.
The Mitchell’s amenities cater to both leisure and productivity, boasting a rooftop pool with skyline views, a premium fitness center with a barre-equipped studio, co-working spaces with private office suites, indoor event spaces with a catering kitchen, and a dedicated pet spa and dog run.
Approximately 16,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and restaurant space will activate the street level, with Khao Thai Isan, a Thai tapas concept by local favorite 26 Thai, already confirmed to occupy 4,730 square feet. Additional retail and dining tenants are expected to be announced soon, enhancing the building’s role as a community hub.
Strategically located steps from Mercedes-Benz Stadium and State Farm Arena, and near four MARTA stations, The Mitchell offers unparalleled access to Atlanta’s entertainment and cultural destinations. Residents can easily explore the Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, National Center for Civil and Human Rights, and the revitalized South Downtown and Underground Atlanta districts. The tower’s proximity to the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail and Centennial Olympic Park further connects residents to the city’s dynamic urban fabric.
“The Mitchell is more than a residential tower; it’s a cornerstone of Centennial Yards’ vision to transform Downtown Atlanta into a thriving, walkable neighborhood,” said Brian McGowan, President of Centennial Yards Company. “This development brings new energy to the city, placing residents at the heart of Atlanta’s cultural and entertainment epicenter.”
Named to honor the historic Mitchell Street corridor, the tower reflects Atlanta’s commitment to blending its rich history with forward-thinking urban development.
Designed by local firms TVS and Goode Van Slyke Architecture, The Mitchell’s sleek, contemporary aesthetic complements its practical layouts, featuring stainless steel appliances, in-unit washers and dryers, and modern finishes like luxury tile backsplashes.
The Mitchell’s opening aligns with broader efforts to address Atlanta’s housing needs while fostering economic growth. As part of Centennial Yards’ 50-acre redevelopment of the former Gulch, the project aims to create new city blocks over historic rail lines, ultimately delivering eight million square feet of commercial and residential space, including 2,000 residences and four million square feet of retail, entertainment, office, and hotel space.
With pre-leasing already underway, The Mitchell is set to redefine upscale urban living in Atlanta by late 2025, coinciding with preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will further spotlight the city’s evolving downtown.
