This is a regular scene at The Works, one of the first industrial mixed-use (I-MIX) developments in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Spanning 80 acres (32.4 ha) and 1 million square feet (93,000 sq m) of industrial space, The Works is located off Chattahoochee Avenue, a once-quiet industrial corridor on the west side of Atlanta. This pocket of the city\u2014now known as the Upper Westside with a new CID to prove it\u2014has seen explosive growth since plans for The Works were announced in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The first phase of The Works is home to 466,349 square feet (43,325 sq m) of warehouse space, of which Selig Enterprises, the owner and developer, has adapted and converted 289,869 square feet (26,930 sq m) into office and retail uses. At the signature corner of the development, Selig has constructed a 306-unit multifamily building, a feat that would not have been possible without the city\u2019s new I-MIX zoning allowance.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full story <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanland.uli.org\/design-planning\/industrial-mixed-use-zoning-paves-way-for-housing-economic-growth-in-atlantas-upper-westside\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Urban Land: On a pleasant Saturday evening in a fast-growing Atlanta community, 20- and 30-somethings are gathered on apartment balconies, parents are sipping beers while kids play in The Camp,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Industrial Mixed-Use Zoning Paves Way for Housing &amp;
