Mayor Kasim Reed joined Bolton Atlanta LP General Manager Yanfeng “Frank” Chen and Gallman Development Group LLC CEO Bruce Gallman recently to officially break ground on Castleberry Park, a new mixed-use development in Atlanta’s Westside. The new $90 million development will offer approximately 130 apartments, a rooftop deck with panoramic city views and amenities including a clubroom, dog wash area and a package-delivery center. It will also feature ground level commercial space for restaurants and other retail, as well as a public park and a centrally located parking garage.

In addition, Castleberry Park will include a 200-room Hard Rock brand hotel. The property is slated to be completed in 2019.

“Castleberry Hill has already established itself as one of Atlanta’s most vibrant arts communities, and welcoming a new complex with a Hard Rock brand hotel is a perfect addition to the neighborhood,” said Reed. “The new development is steps away from the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and will serve as an economic catalyst for the area.”

Invest Atlanta, the city of Atlanta’s economic development authority, has approved a grant of $4.2 million from the Westside Tax Allocation District to assist with the project, which will help ensure that 20 percent of the new apartments in the development are affordable units.
