Lincoln Property Company has broken ground on Echo Street West, a 19-acre mixed-use village rising in Atlanta’s English Avenue neighborhood. The 19-acre project is located in an Opportunity Zone and is expected to bring jobs, housing, retail and community amenities to the area.

When completed, Echo Street West will span 2.4 million square feet of mixed-use space. The first phase encompasses 300,000 square feet of creative office, 50,000 square feet of retail, more than three acres of outdoor entertainment and gathering areas and 300 multifamily units.

“Our team is thrilled to put shovels in the ground as we mark an important milestone for Echo Street West,” said Tony Bartlett, executive vice president at LPC. “Our vision for creating a walkable, interconnected village that harnesses the growing pool of tech talent and engages the surrounding communities is coming to life. Already there are many fingerprints on this project, and we will continue to work hard to involve our neighbors and create unique amenities and gathering spaces that serve the community and appeal to our future tenants.”
