State officials have named a development team for a project that would build an entertainment destination next to Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
The Georgia World Congress Center Authority (GWCCA) is looking to repurpose the 11-acre Home Depot Backyard. The state agency put out a request for qualifications for the project in April.
The apparent awardee is a team comprised of Atlanta development and investment firm Pope & Land Real Estate, Atlanta developer Fuqua Development and Minneapolis-based architecture firm Nelson Worldwide, according to the state’s procurement registry.
Pope & Land, Fuqua Development and Nelson Worldwide previously worked together on The Battery Atlanta, the mixed-use project surrounding the Atlanta Braves’ ballpark in Cobb County.
“GWCCA envisions a seamless integration of convention facilities, entertainment venues and green spaces, fostering a sense of community and excitement,” the state agency said in a statement in April. “The proposed project will not only enhance the appeal of GWCCA’s campus but also contribute to the economic vitality of the surrounding area, attracting visitors from near and far.”
A budget for the project has not been established, according to the RFQ.
