An Atlanta developer is exploring a mix of housing and retail next to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, a project that could rise on land owned by Falcons owner Arthur Blank and add to the billions in new projects being built downtown.
Development firm Carter is “studying potential opportunities” for roughly 8 acres directly south of the stadium in Castleberry Hill, a company spokesperson said. The site includes a vacant apartment building that recently suffered a gas explosion.
