Last weekend, I went to Ria’s Bluebird for brunch. While the food was amazing, I was equally impressed with the developments along Memorial Drive.
A short walk from Ria’s is Urban Realty Partners’ The Leonard – a mixed-use, boutique multi-family development now leasing its 85 apartments. A little further down the road is the site of Paces Properties’ new Atlanta Dairies complex. This “all-day enterprise” will include apartments, retail, restaurant, office space and music venues.
With Paces officials remembering the lessons learned from Krog Street Market, particularly “embracing the immediate neighborhood,” Memorial Drive could be the road holding Atlanta’s best-laid plans.
