Invest Atlanta, in partnership with the City of Atlanta, has issued an RFP for the redevelopment of one acre of City of Atlanta-controlled property on Forsyth Street SW adjacent to MARTA’s Garnett Station in Downtown Atlanta.

The Garnett Transit Oriented Development RFP seeks a development partner for a project centered on creative public spaces and mixed-income housing that activates two underutilized city-controlled properties.

Objectives for the redevelopment of the Garnett Transit Oriented Development include:

*Housing Affordability – increasing the affordable rental housing supply and providing greater access to housing at all levels of affordability.

*Transit and Pedestrian Accessibility – improving pedestrian connectivity by introducing new pedestrian infrastructure connecting Forsyth Street to the Broad Street Plaza and Garnett Street MARTA station.

*Public Space – improving, creating, and activating public space at and around the station that promotes safe pedestrian activity with a mix of residential and commercial uses.

*Mixed Use – ensuring that development fosters a sustainable commercial and community-oriented environment that serves both residents and the Downtown community.

The two underutilized properties described in the RFP include a surface parking lot located at 184 Forsyth Street and a city-controlled right-of-way formerly used as a pedestrian plaza.

Responses are due March 31, 2023.
