Atlanta's multi-family rental market sees a revival

Emory Point was ready to break ground years ago, but the frozen credit markets kept the $250 million Clifton Road development at bay.

Now, the multi-family rental market has come back "in a very strong way," and some retailers are looking to expand, said David Fitch, president and CEO of Gables Residential.

"The reaction from prospects has been quite strong," he said.
