The Mitchell, the inaugural residential tower at Centennial Yards, celebrated its grand opening on September 4, 2025. This 19-story building, located at 250 Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. SW, is strategically positioned next to the renowned Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Offering a total of 304 modern residential units, The Mitchell covers approximately 300,000 square feet. Complementing its residential offerings, the ground floor includes 16,000 square feet of retail space, with the popular Thai tapas restaurant Khao Thai Isan occupying 4,730 square feet. Other retail tenants are yet to be announced.
Branded as a luxury apartment complex, The Mitchell incorporates numerous amenities designed to enhance the living experience, such as a pool, a fitness center, co-working spaces, and a pet spa. The opening event featured developers and city officials, including the President of Centennial Yards Company, Brian McGowan, who underscored the significance of this project for the area.
The Mitchell is a key component of the broader $5 billion Centennial Yards mixed-use development, which seeks to revitalize a 50-acre section of land known as The Gulch. Upon its expected completion, Centennial Yards will encompass around 8 million square feet of commercial and residential spaces, with about 2,000 new residential units planned.
Previous developments in the vicinity include The Lofts at Centennial Yards South, which opened in 2021 and comprises 162 units. In 2018, the Atlanta City Council had approved a substantial $1.9 billion incentive tax rebate package aimed at facilitating development by the CMI Group, the principal developer behind Centennial Yards. Although CMI Group initially intended to include 20% affordable housing within the project, they later opted out by paying an $8 million fee to the city.
Plans for Centennial Yards extend beyond housing; they include additional retail, entertainment spaces, office structures, and public gathering areas. This ambitious project seeks to connect residents and visitors to notable sites such as the Georgia Aquarium and the National Center for Civil and Human Rights.
The Mitchell honors the historic significance of Atlanta’s Mitchell Street corridor, with an emphasis on injecting new vitality and life into downtown Atlanta as articulated by local officials. Among the future developments within Centennial Yards is the anticipated 292-key Hotel Phoenix and a 5,300-seat Live Nation venue, both set to open in 2027. This large-scale project represents one of the most significant urban redevelopments in the United States, aiming to foster lively, walkable urban experiences.
