Uh...no. Not unless you want to force people off of MARTA and into cars.

That's what I was unclear about. Is that a park-n-ride deck / customer / resident deck? I assume it's all three, but was unsure.

More on the doings at Lindbergh. It's my understanding they are in the midst of amending SPI-15.

Lindbergh Center Station is where MARTA first tried transit-oriented development nearly 20 years ago, with mixed and incomplete results. Now, in the midst of a TOD project boom, the transit agency is selling two parcels to kick-start the unfinished mixed-use redevelopment around the station and maybe upgrade what’s there today.

It’s a personal project for MARTA, which has its headquarters at Lindbergh and has made TOD a top priority under General Manager and CEO Keith Parker.

“From our general manager’s perspective, he would love for our headquarters here to be located in something considered a model TOD nationally so we could walk outside and live it every day,” said Amanda Rhein, MARTA’s director of TOD projects.

Yeup. It's wonderful news!

I guess people were right, the release of the lot by Grady was a signal that TOD wasn't far behind.

Multi-Story Modular Residential Units

This development will feature modular construction, which a MARTA spokesperson said would be pre-fabricated units that would be assembled on site. It will be the first of its kind developed at a transit hub in Atlanta, a press release from MARTA says.

MARTA is partnering with Place Properties/H.J. Russell & Company on the project. The development cost is estimated to be $51.3 million.

It will have 400 apartment units, 20 percent of which will be designated as affordable housing, and 10,000 square feet of retail space, the press release says.
