Fresh map puts $5.2B downtown development boom in perspective Josh Green Thu, 03/13/2025 - 11:11 Does the scope of downtown Atlanta development—both proposed and ongoing—make your head spin? Central Atlanta Progress has an app for that.

The map features 71 projects total, each color-coded as complete, under construction, or planned.

According to CAP’s tabulations, the finished and proposed developments across downtown total $5.2 billion in investments.
