The Stitch

"The Stitch" proposes to add millions of square feet of new real estate inventory by creating approximately 14 acres of new urban greenspace atop a new platform structure spanning a portion of the Downtown Connector. It is estimated that The Stitch could result in $1.1 to $3.1 billion in value creation, generate $21 to $58 million in new revenue, and increase the city's bonding capacity by $308 billion.

Atlanta Arts & Entertainment District

Managed by ADID, the Atlanta Arts & Entertainment District (AAED) was established by the City of Atlanta through the Downtown Arts and Entertainment District Sign Overlay Ordinance. This ordinance provides the legal framework for innovative signage, public art, and community programming within a defined geographic boundary in Downtown Atlanta. Atlanta Downtown's Art & Activation program is the public-facing expression of the AAED.

Downtown Daffodil Project

The worldwide Daffodil Project aims to build a Living Holocaust Memorial by planting 1.5 million daffodils around the world to remember and represent the one and a half million children who died in Nazi-occupied Europe and bring awareness to those currently suffering human rights crises throughout the world. CAP/ADID contributes to the worldwide effort by creating a “ribbon of consciousness” between the Center for Civil and Human Rights and the King Center, with over 275,000 bulbs planted to date.
