Perimeter Center Preparing For Next Condo Boom

The AJC has a story about the area directly surrounding Perimeter Mall and just North of Atlanta. From the article:

"A dozen towers — some 20 stories tall — are on the drawing board. If all the towers are erected, more than 10,000 people would live in 5,805 condo units scheduled to be built over the next three to 10 years. This puts Perimeter in line to become the kind of mini-city emerging at Atlantic Station, along Peachtree Street near the Fox Theatre in Midtown and in Buckhead. People can live within walking distance of their jobs, shops and a MARTA stop."

The traffic in that area can be horrendous; let's hope that with more people actually living there (as opposed to driving in for work and shopping) that they will be more inclined to walk or use public transportation.

Also, does Atlanta really need more condos?
