ATLANTA, GA – Showing its commitment to alternative
transportation in a bold way, North American Properties (NAP) is announcing the
creation of a full-time “Mobility Concierge” at Colony Square, the iconic mixed-use development in Midtown Atlanta.
The new Concierge will
work with tenants, guests and the greater Midtown community to identify
customized transportation and mobility solutions and incentivize their use.
In
addition, NAP will install several TransitScreens that provide real-time transportation
options to further encourage the adoption of mobility alternatives.
Located at the
intersection of 14th and Peachtree Streets, often referred to Main and Main,
Colony Square has the highest pedestrian count in the City outside of Georgia
Tech’s campus.
In addition, Midtown is one of the most walkable neighborhoods
in Atlanta, with a walk score of 84. It also has strong access to public
transportation and is bicycle-friendly, with a bike score of 76.
“We are a nexus of bike
lanes, streets, sidewalks and transit,” said Mark Toro, managing partner of NAP and Midtown resident who often
walks to work. “On any given day, you are bound to see several Ubers waiting in
Colony Square’s roundabout. The Mobility Concierge will readily help the
community utilize these transportation alternatives in order to make Midtown a
more mobile community and give our tenants, guests and residents a better
quality of life.”

A recent poll by Urban
Land Institute (ULI) found that transit access is important for about 80
percent of Millennials. According to the Midtown Alliance, approximately half
of the neighborhood’s residents are Millennials, and the population is expected
to grow.
“Walkability, bikability
and accessibility to public transit are huge motivators for the new generation
of office workers and in town residents,” said Shannon Powell, executive vice president and COO of Midtown
Alliance.
“NAP’s unique mobility
initiative will make Colony Square and the greater Midtown community a better
place to work, live and spend time. Their Mobility Concierge will work
hand-in-hand with our team at Midtown Transportation to heighten awareness of
options.”
