MARTA considering high-rise towers above Arts Center station
The MARTA board of directors approved negotiations Thursday to develop land around the Arts Center station in Midtown.
The project would be developed by Atlanta-based Cousins Properties and Integral Group.
Last May, MARTA said the Arts Center project would involve construction on a 6.2-acre site that is currently part bus station, part train station, part parking space and part undeveloped land.
MARTA has plans to build transit-oriented developments at many of its stations. Work on a project that will include 224 residential units, a performing arts center and a park began at the Edgewood/Candler Park MARTA station last week.
