Atlanta Braves Announce Partners for Mixed-Use Development Adjacent to New Ballpark

ATLANTA, July 30, 2014 – A trio of nationally respected developers will partner with the Atlanta Braves organization to develop the 74-acre, $400-million mixed-use development that will be integrated with the new ballpark the franchise is developing in partnership with the Cobb-Marietta Coliseum and Exhibit Hall Authority. 

 Construction on the new stadium is scheduled to start later this year and will be completed by Opening Day 2017. The goal of the mixed-use development will be to open Phase I, or a substantial portion of it, by spring of 2017 as well.

The organization announced today that three local companies – Fuqua Development, Pope & Land Enterprises, and Pollack Shores Real Estate Group – will be its partners in developing the project, which includes up to 630,000 square feet of class A office space, 500,000 square feet of upscale retail, 450 hotel rooms and 500 residences.

The Braves will retain a majority ownership stake in the development and will continue to guide the development process in conjunction with its partners.

 “In just eight months, we have made tremendous progress on our ballpark and mixed-use project,” said Atlanta Braves Chairman and CEO Terry McGuirk. “We’re thrilled to announce a partnership that reflects our local roots and global brand as we move forward on the mixed-use portion of the project.”
