Last fall, the MARTA Board of Directors selected the Peebles Corporation for a TOD project adjacent to Bankhead Station that includes 495 apartments, a hotel, and retail and office space.
Since then, Microsoft pulled the plug on its nearby 90-acre campus, which was fueling growth in the Westside area.
MARTA still plans to extend Bankhead’s platform, which will also include a new canopy, elevators, escalators, and creating a community plaza.
