MARTA's Arts Center Station in Midtown Atlanta is back on the table for a major high-rise redevelopment after plans were shelved in 2022. A new request for proposals could be issued as early as January.

About This Short
Back in 2022, bold proposals came in for the 6-acre site next to the High Museum and Alliance Theatre, but the project was shelved. Now, MARTA has a new leader and Arts Center is back on the table. The site could become a multi–high-rise development, but no design has been chosen yet — the renderings you’ve seen are old concepts, not the final plan. A new request for proposals could be issued as soon as January. With interest rates easing and Midtown booming, the timing might finally be right.
Do you think Arts Center Station should rise into the skyline or stay low-key?
