Yes, it’s hard out there right now. Financing can feel like an uphill battle for everything from ATL-filmed indie movies to condo sky-rises and skinny townhomes. An existential AI cloud looms. Inflation, it seems, keeps inflating.
But there’s a new year afoot. And metro Atlanta’s inherent, sunbelt optimism is strong. As always.
ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — From emergency rooms to rubble, the former Atlanta Medical Center is nearly demolished.
“Part of what the community said [was], ‘Get on with it now,’” said Eric Pinckney, president of program management for The Integral Group, the lead developer.
Crews started demolition in June. Pinckney said the majority of the campus will be cleared by the end of 2025. Two office buildings on the eastside of Boulevard will be demolished by April.
The demolition makes way for a new 22-acre live-work-play complex in the heart of the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood.
On a recent chilly Thursday, a pair of cranes swung girders over a place soon to become a bustling plaza at the doorstep of State Farm Arena.

The $5 billion Centennial Yards project is rising within the 50-acre hole long known as the Gulch, an area once thought to be too complex to ever be developed.
The first pieces of a planned $1.5 billion, 25-acre mixed-use development
in Carrollton are complete.

The project is next to a DART rail station near the southeast corner of
Stemmons Freeway and Bush Turnpike on Trinity Mills Road. DART and
the city own the land for the project.
Three men walked into a meeting — a preservationist, a developer and the head of a demolition company.
The topic was the historic Georgia Baptist property, which is being redeveloped by the Integral Group.
We met in the offices of Barry Roberts, founder and an executive of Atlanta Demolition, which is clearing the site of the former hospital with the firm FERMA.
America is aging, and fast. In just a few years, millions will enter their 80s, many without the resources or support systems to age with dignity. Yet affordable assisted living remains misunderstood, underfunded, and dangerously overlooked. In this episode of Create the Village, Daryl Jones (President, Real Estate Acquisitions) sits down with Julie Simpkins, co-CEO…
Essential workers are the backbone of our communities, yet too many are being priced out of safe, attainable housing near where they work. Rents have climbed faster than wages for years, creating an unsustainable gap that leaves millions of teachers, nurses, first responders, and other essential workers stuck in the “missing middle.” They earn too…
Community development isn’t just about bricks and mortar. It’s about people, honoring legacy, addressing structural inequities, and building trust block by block, relationship by relationship. Few places reflect that truth more than Atlanta’s historic Westside. In this episode of Create the Village, guest host Shannon Judd, President of Integral Property Management, sits down with Rachel…
In Atlanta, the racial wealth gap is staggering. The average white household holds 46 times more wealth than the average Black household. One major reason is homeownership, and who gets to buy a home. If we want cities that are truly inclusive and resilient, bold new approaches are needed to help families build wealth and…
Developers don’t just need better plans, they need workflows that line up from plan to permit. Homebuilding still runs on disconnected files and manual redlines. Design changes don’t reach sales, purchasing, or the field in time, creating RFIs, delays, and budget creep. Host Jordan Jones, Principal – Integral Carolinas and Marc Minor, Co-Founder & CEO, Higharc, unpack…
