And yes, Mr. Cousins does have very deep pockets. It is a travesty that the tax payers of DeKalb County could not be convinced of the long term benefits to be had from the needed infrastructure investments. As for the auto traffic nightmare that may develop, wait until DOT begins the railroad bridge replacement project!

Lunch options!

It also benefits from a captive, high-income base of consumers and residents from the CDC and Emory.

I’m glad to see the density and quality of this mixed use development, but I fear the impact it will have on Clifton traffic.

Hmmm.. If we could only get a MARTA spur line between Decatur and Lindbergh…

Is this Emory Point site more attractive than downtown Decatur or does the developer (Cousins) have deeper pockets than those who own the Decatur properties? Obviously there are commercial tenants if this property is 82% leased so you can’t really blame economic malaise. Thoughts?
