By now, surely you've heard that Julio Jones, the Atlanta Falcons' superstar wide receiver, is a principal investor in a massive mixed-use project planned next door to the Mall of Georgia.

And you probably saw that earlier this week, Jones announced the name of the $200 million project: "Ariston," which is Greek for "the best."

You also know the basics of what the development would bring: hotel, condos, hundreds of apartments, lots of retail and a family entertainment center. Chef-inspired restaurants, direct access to the nearby Ivy Creek Greenway and 400 to 600 jobs are promised.

But how about a few more smidgens of specificity?

The development will actually be broken into four different “districts,” developer Ivy Creek Partners said. Find below a quick look at what those districts are and what they’re expected to include.
