CAP Vice Chair

“We’ve seen many successes during 2007. Each is a step toward creating the Downtown Atlanta for which we all strive.”

Downtown retail and restaurant spending: $429 million • Dining establishments: 215

It has been said that the secret to success is “constancy to purpose.”

In Downtown Atlanta, the constancy of Central Atlanta Progress (CAP) and the Atlanta Downtown Improvement District (ADID) made 2007 a year that warrants refl ection. Every item on our agenda saw a measure of success that will lead to a brighter future. Many have referred to it as “Downtown’s turning the corner” or “over the hump” – reasonable and concise descriptions, as we see it.

Our much-rumored perception of crime gave way to reality. Statistics showed that Downtown Atlanta just might be the safest neighborhood in the entire City, and that message fi nally made its way into print. For many that was a turning point – a comforting success.

Downtown’s commercial offi ce absorption rate – once a reason some cited for their lack of confi dence in our future – swung from negative to positive by 640,000 square feet – a rebounding success.

New residential units in Downtown increased by 2,000 – a 16 percent jump in one year – and 4,000 more are on the way to completion. Many of those are being purchased by residents with more than $61,000 in average household income – a growing success.

Entertainment and attractions entice people and new revenue. Today, Downtown’s restaurants (adding almost two new ones per month for the past year) produce median annual sales of $535/sq. ft. – $200/sq. ft. more than the national median – an attracting success.

Infrastructure additions such as Ivan Allen, Jr. Boulevard and pedestrian corridor upgrades have demonstrated a strong correlation to new commercial growth – a building success.

And our ambitious “Green Line” plan has mapped out many opportunities for the “Dome-to-Dome” corridor of Downtown – a future success.

We’ve seen many other successes during 2007 in transportation, planning, events, attractions and advocacy. Each is a step toward creating the Downtown Atlanta for which we all strive.

Our organizations, the leadership and vision of our Boards, and the loyal support of our membership and property owners collectively ensure our continued “constancy to purpose.”

“For kids, families, singles, mingles and everyone in between, Downtown has more than ‘one’ something to keep you entertained.”

sit-down restaurants: 92 • Average sales per square foot at sit-down restaurants: $604

Downtown now: a letterDowntown Atlanta has a lot to offer, and the list grows longer every day. What makes Downtown Atlanta the dynamic place that it is?

For starters, it’s safe. Downtown’s been safe for a number of years, and NOW, it’s even safer. With almost half the daily population of the City, Downtown accounts for less than 5 percent of the City’s overall crime. Our crime stats have been decreasing for four years.

Second, Downtown is accessible. More roadways, more connectivity, more bus routes, more MARTA stops and more money-saving transportation alternatives make it a snap to get you home or wherever you’re going.

It’s home to a rapidly growing, diverse residential population. Students, young professionals and empty-nesters who are down-sizing – they’re all here and more are coming.

Downtown’s about business. However you measure growth – commercial, retail, residential, restaurants, attractions – Downtown’s numbers have investors, developers and brokers considering opportunities and closing deals in Atlanta’s newest growth market.

It’s just plain fun. For kids, families, singles, mingles and everyone in between, Downtown has more than “one” something to keep you entertained. It’s an expanding list of one-of-a-kind attractions, new and established restaurants, and weekly entertainment for employees and those just wandering.

Downtown is tomorrow. Even with all the things that Downtown “is” NOW, there’s plenty of future on the drawing boards. Our ambitious “Green Line” proposal, the Center for Civil and Human Rights, plans for Peachtree Street, Centennial Hill, the Railroad District and the Auburn/Edgewood corridor – Downtown Atlanta’s tomorrow has much more to come.

Make Downtown a part of your future. That opportunity is available, right NOW!

include 20 blocks of the

“Railroad District” on

the southwest side of

Downtown. Now the

Downtown now: it’s safe.A vibrant Downtown is a safe Downtown.

The sense of safety arises from the constant buzz of people – workers, students, conventioneers and residents – going about their business. It’s there in the lively day and evening activity of popular restaurants, shops and entertainment venues. And it’s sustained by the vigilance of the Atlanta Police Department and the Downtown Atlanta Ambassador Force®, a full-time public safety and hospitality unit created by CAP in 1996.

Downtown – already one of the safest areas of the city – is growing even safer thanks to these dedicated organizations. Only 4.6 percent of the crimes reported for Atlanta in 2007 were committed Downtown, a four-point decrease over the last two years.

During the last six months of 2007, APD initiatives Downtown reduced assaults by 43 percent, burglaries by 13 percent, and auto thefts by 26 percent from the same period in 2006. And larcenies (mostly thefts from autos – the lion’s share of Downtown crime) were cut by 30 percent. Operation Shield, an overarching security initiative, led to the installation in 2007of 13 integrated surveillance cameras Downtown, the formation of a web-based clearinghouse for Downtown crime information, installation of a two-way radio link with APD, and creation of Crime Stoppers Atlanta, a program that provides rewards for anonymous tips.

The visibility and professional demeanor of the Ambassador Force goes a long way toward keeping Downtown safe. The 65-member force patrols 220 blocks of Downtown offering assistance to tourists, visitors, workers and students while in constant contact with APD. In 2007, Ambassadors extended personal greetings to more than 3.3 million individuals, provided assistance more than 1.6 million times, and escorted pedestrians to their vehicles or hotels 18,787 times.

Telework days logged: 10,342 • Participants in month-long ‘Walk There’ program: 630

As the skyline expands and the streetscapes grow, another great thing about Downtown Atlanta remains the same – it is relatively easy to go from place to place. For walkers, cyclists, drivers and riders, CAP/ADID and its Downtown Transportation Management Association (TMA) work to ensure that Downtown maximizes its wealth of transportation resources.

For carpoolers, drivers and cyclists, CAP launched the Downtown Interactive Parking Guide in 2007, a web-based resource for Downtown parking information. The Guide features a parking map of more than 195 facilities that collectively contain more than 65,000 parking spaces. Users can scroll to find their destinations, or simply choose from the many attractions listed. With the click of a mouse the map will display parking facilities close to each destination. Cyclists can find bike racks, too.

In June, the Downtown Navigator e-newsletter was launched. It provides updates on construction, possible delays, detours, shortcuts, and helpful alternative transportation solutions to help commuters make it into (and out of) Downtown as easily as possible.

The Downtown TMA launched a kiosk program in August to provide information on transportation options and “Commuter Rewards” incentives for individuals who utilize alternative modes for commuting. The four kiosks rotate among participating Downtown buildings.

More than 195 Downtown employers and property managers work with the Downtown TMA to ensure that workers know about commuter options and incentives for taking alternative transportation to work. In 2007, 281 new commuters registered to receive $3 per day (up to $180) for trying an alternative mode of transportation. More than 1,000 commuter prizes totaling more than $28,000 were distributed to participating Downtown employees.

Average monthly apartment rent: $1,039 • Average Condominium price: $284,000

More than 2,000 Downtown housing units went up in 2007, a 16 percent increase in just one year, and plans are drawn up and approved to build more than 6,000 more. Downtown residents now number approximately 27,000. And they’re a prosperous group: the average household income of new residents since 2000 is $61,300. The average new Downtown condo lists for $284,000.

CAP predicts that 24,000 residential units will be occupied Downtown by 2010, and that Downtown’s population will reach 39,000. The average income for these households is projected to be $72,000. The economic impact of these new residents is driving expansion of the Downtown retail market

Downtown now, and in the future, is an increasingly affluent, round-the-clock live, work and play community. New residents in 2007 moved to many developments – Capitol Gateway, Centennial Park North, Central City Condominiums, DUO, Fair & Walker Lofts, GSU University Commons, Oakland Park, Renaissance Walk at Sweet Auburn, Tribute Lofts, Twelve Centennial Park and The Villages at Castleberry Hill. And several new developments broke ground in 2007, including Alexan 360, Auburn Pointe, Castleberry Point, Pencil Factory Lofts, and W Residences.

Distinct neighborhoods have emerged in recent years that help build a strong sense of community in Downtown: Allen Plaza, Centennial Olympic Park Area, SoNo, Memorial Drive Corridor, Old Fourth Ward, Sweet Auburn, Marietta Street Artery, Fairlie-Poplar and Castleberry Hill.

Downtown Atlanta is attracting people from a host of different walks of life and different income levels. Downtown residents walk to work while others sit in traffic. They find world-class entertainment and sporting events right outside their front doors.

Downtown now: it’s all business.Last year, more than 75 projects worth more than $4 billion were in the works Downtown. These large and small projects, funded by public and private sources, provide office space, entertainment venues, and residential units – development that is sensible and sustainable.

Downtown now is bustling and growing busier all the time. In 2007, office space occupied by Downtown businesses increased by 428, 516 square feet. Just a year before, occupied office space decreased by 212,972 square feet. More than 140,000 people worked Downtown in 2007, and more than 30,000 students attended Downtown schools and universities.

In 2007, CAP and the City of Atlanta together developed a revolutionary zoning code that will govern growth and development Downtown. It is designed to ensure that Downtown becomes a denser, urban, walkable, mixed-use 24-hour environment.

CAP is helping to keep Downtown retailers and restaurants thriving through the Downtown Connects Card program. More than 75,000 Downtown Connects Cards, good for discounts and specials deals at participating businesses, have been distributed over the last two years.

People love a winner. It’s an exciting time to do business Downtown. Ticket sales for CAP’s 2007 Downtown Development Day at AmericasMart were up more than 25 percent. The number of real estate professionals, developers, restaurateurs and, entrepreneurs anxious to play a part in Downtown now, and to help shape the future of Downtown, is growing.

To further catalyze development, Central Atlanta Progress partnered with the Atlanta Development Authority and successfully won $60 million of New Markets Tax Credits from the U.S. Treasury. With this allocation, commercial projects in Downtown can take advantage of lower-cost financing to jump-start their developments while prompting job growth and further redevelopment in the area. In addition, 5 percent of this allocation is earmarked for small business loans.

CAP’s Downtown Connects program is a resounding success.

But wait, there’s more. Downtown loves out-of-towners. More than 12 million people attended attractions, sporting events and concerts Downtown in 2007, and more than 4.7 million tourists explored Downtown as well. Conventions attracted another 1.4 million.

There’s more than ever to see and do Downtown now. The new World of Coca-Cola attracts enthusiastic crowds in its new location adjacent to the popular Georgia Aquarium. Centennial Olympic Park is the place to be for metro Atlantans, especially on July 4th. Inside CNN tours and the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site are top attractions.

The Hawks, Thrashers, Braves and Falcons play Downtown, and the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream will soon join the Downtown sports lineup. Of course the city’s largest concert venues (and plenty of smaller ones, too) are here as well.

CAP/ADID Annual Report 2007 | 19

In December, CAP unveiled its ambitious plan to revitalize the east-west corridor along Alabama Street between the Georgia State Capitol and the Georgia Dome. The Green Line will feature a linear park ringed by pedestrian-friendly developments and calls for the capping of the railroad gulch and the extension of Alabama and Wall Streets to intersect a new West Spring Street.

The plan also envisions a new entertainment and retail development at Underground Atlanta, a transformation of the Five Points MARTA station and a Multimodal Passenger Terminal to connect Downtown to all of Georgia.

Peachtree Street: Atlanta’s Great Street. CAP is working with the City of Atlanta to investigate a number of options designed to enhance Peachtree Street as a world-class boulevard. One idea gaining momentum is the introduction of a modern streetcar line along Peachtree Street in Midtown and Downtown and along an east-west route through the heart of Downtown. CAP and the City are working to develop a formal proposal for the system.

Work is also under way to develop a detailed plan for streetscape enhancements along Peachtree. Beyond the basic elements of smooth sidewalks, lights and trees, the ultimate goal of this design project is to foster a memorable and unique public space experience. The concept focuses on vertical street furniture elements that add color, light, curves, and shape.

Downtown’s future is bright. The number of residents living Downtown is expected to increase by 50 percent over the next two years. Office space is being snapped up as quickly as it’s being built. Downtown’s attractions continue to attract, and the Center for Civil and Human Rights is expected to bring more than 600,000 visitors to the area. Downtown crime, in a steady decline, is likely to decrease further.
