Buckhead Atlanta Construction Moving Along

The billion-dollar luxury development is on schedule and will open the first phase of retail later this year.

After being dormant for three years, construction on the billion-dollar luxury multi-use Buckhead Atlanta development is steady and on schedule.

The development, formerly known as The Streets of Buckhead, now has about five active cranes and 65 construction workers. Contractor Balfour Beatty Construction began construction in August on the Buckhead Atlanta project.
