Updated Renderings, Details Released For Echo Street West As Infrastructure Work Gets Underway

Several components of the massive 2.4 million-square-foot mixed-use project are expected to deliver in spring 2021 including an open-air bar and dining experience.

Lincoln Property Company Tuesday announced in a press release that site work is well underway where its Echo Street West development will rise from the ground up. Located in West Midtown near the intersection of Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway and Northside Drive, the infrastructure work lays the foundation for the 2.4 million-square-foot project to go vertical: utilities, improve stormwater retention, install a fiber backbone, pave miles of brand new roads, and even undergo an environmental cleanup. Echo Street West’s infrastructure alone is expected to cost $17 million, according to the announcement.

When complete, Echo Street West’s first phase will offer 285,000 square feet of creative office, 30,000 square feet of retail, a 16,000-square-foot “artist and makers colony,” 20,000 square feet of event space, 3.4 acres of outdoor entertainment and gathering areas, and 300 multi-family units, of which 20 percent will be affordable. Set to deliver starting in spring 2021, Echo Street West will first welcome its outdoor gathering spaces, the restoration of several buildings into the event venue and artist and makers colony, and an open-air bar and dining experience.

“Our vision for Echo Street West is to draw on the best of what’s around us and create a community without a front door—a place where diverse groups of people can come together to connect, explore the arts, shop and eat local and celebrate the unique culture of West Midtown and the English Avenue neighborhood,” Tony Bartlett, Executive Vice President of Lincoln Property Company, said in the release. “We intend to highlight the distinctive flavor and lifestyle of this community through partnerships with local artists, retailers, chefs, and events. The visible improvements happening on site are just the start of our efforts to reconnect the neighborhood with the exciting growth happening in Midtown and elsewhere in Atlanta.”

RIOS, a Los Angeles design firm, is working to design and plan the landscape and development with the intent to add a “village feel,” inspired by the “Kudzu Line” of the old CSX rail lines. The design is pure Echo Street West.

  1. That would be so awesome! There’s already the cycle track that runs around the perimeter of GT at that stretch so connecting over to that as well would be even better.

    One can dream anyways! If only the TSPLOST funds weren’t wasted on a stupid bridge no one needed or asked for.

    1. That was my first impression as well– or stacks of glass shipping containers.
      Not sure if I love it, but it’s definitely better than the cookie cutter stuff that seems to be everywhere else.
      It has a deconstructed vibe to it.

      1. t3 building

        Yea, it’s almost like some of the projects on this side of town are employing actual architects that pull successful contextual elements from nearby projects. A glimmer of hope in the architectural graveyard that is Atlanta.

  2. If this even looks half as good after some VE rounds, it will be amazing. Out of town architects have proven to be the most adept at elevating architecture in this city.
