Just the 5. The sixth target is being built outside of the park on top of Baker Street.

A new promenade, connecting the College Football Hall of Fame with the Olympic Ring Fountains, along with plazas at either end, will be complete by December.

A brick walkway will replace Andrew Young International Boulevard, which formerly cut through the park, as well as the old Atlanta Chamber building. The plazas will feature a large Olympic Torch sculpture and Olympic Rings, with various Olympic sports highlighted on the promenade between.

I like that they are investing in Centennial Park although the plans themselves don't look terribly exciting. And I always hated that they left a road right in the middle of it.

Along with the investments already on the ground, an additional $725 million in projects are either under construction or in the pipeline, according to a report by the Georgia World Congress Center.

Current construction projects include:

• The 11-story Hyatt Place Centennial Park, slated to open in August 2019. Features include 175 rooms, pool, fitness center, on-site food service, parking deck, 2,100 square feet of meeting space and retail facing Luckie and Marietta streets;

• The 17-story Generation Atlanta apartment building, slated to open in the winter of 2020. The building is to provide 336 units and prices are not listed on the website. The amenity package includes pool, sky deck and lounge, yoga studio, fitness center and clubroom;

• The iconic Georgia Aquarium is being expanded by 68,000 square feet, to provide space for a predator exhibit, new entrance, gift shop and gallery. The facility opened in 2005 with 9 million gallons of water, was expanded to hold 10 million gallons and will contain 11 million gallons after the latest expansion. The work is to be complete in November 2020, according to a timeline by Invest Atlanta, the city’s development arm and financial supporter.
