Atlanta has become one of the most sought-after cities to relocate to over the past few years. In just the last two decades, Midtown alone has seen its residential population nearly double. Many are lured in by the mixed living options, comfortable housing cost, and looming career options, but even so, this is just the beginning. Tech companies from all around have considered making Atlanta their new home for some of the same reasons.

Atlantic Station is set to see many new tech-related tenants arriving soon. With the development of Atlantic Yards, which is to be complete this Summer, Microsoft has been confirmed to occupy the entirety of the two-building project by Summer 2021.

Atlanta’s first timber-built office stack, the T3 building, is also set to be complete sometime this year with Facebook claiming their stake of the 230,000 square foot structure along with other tech tenants, Interior Architects, which claimed more than 7,000 square feet, and Macy’s Technology, which took 107,000 square feet.

Google has also confirmed its Atlanta expansion plans, with new offices expected to open in 2022. Google will initially take five floors, or about 135,000 square feet, at Selig Enterprise’s latest developmental project, 40 West 12th which will also house a hotel and condos.

You can be sure, with the arrival of tech companies such as Facebook and Google will come a raise in the cost of living to those areas. The trend has occurred across the country in major cities such as Seattle, San Francisco and Austin which further proves the simple fact that there has never been a better time to buy in Atlantic Station.

With Microsoft and Facebook calling Atlantic Station home to thousands of new employees in the coming year, and the introduction of many more familiar tech companies, prices are bound to rise dramatically and not in very much time. In San Francisco, the median home price jumped from $150,000 to $400,000 in just 5 years when start-ups in the region attracted $5.8 billion in venture funding. It’s predicted the amount of tech companies in Atlanta will soon multiply once these well-known tech giants claim their spaces.

It’s clear; the period before tech-employees begin moving into their new neighborhood will likely be the last chance to enter such a promising area at prices. Along with the development of these new office spaces, there are several additional entities coming including Hine’s massive redevelopment of the area and the upcoming entrance of Invesco, and Anthem (both of which have leased hundreds of thousands of new space right next door to Atlantic Station). There has never been, and never will be, a better time to own a piece of Atlanta.
