What shapes a project in Atlanta
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Older neighborhoods next to new construction
The 2020-2024 American Community Survey counted about 266,000 housing units in Atlanta. About 25 percent were built before 1960, including about 12 percent built before 1940, while about 41 percent were built in 2000 or later and about 21 percent since 2010.
Many homes are in large buildings
About 41 percent of Atlanta's housing units are in buildings with 20 or more units, and about 36 percent are single-family detached homes. About 46 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied. For condo work, building and association rules shape scheduling, access and what can change.
Stormwater rules reach single-family lots
Atlanta's post-development stormwater ordinance, adopted in 2013, applies to nearly every type of development, including commercial and single-family residential property. New development and redevelopment must manage the first inch of rain that falls on the site using green infrastructure.
