A city rising with a city, the 138-acre mixed use Atlantic Station on a once polluted steel mill site in midtown Atlanta, GA is exceeding many expectations, reports New York Times real estate writer Lisa Chamberlain.  Georgia Institue of Technology Associate Dean of Architecture Douglas C. Allen says, "There's a serious attempt to create some form of urbanity out of a relic of another world".

  

The Amesbury Upper Millyard project is the rehabilitation of eight buildings and the area along the Powwow River.  The properties are integral to Amesbury's Central Business District and to Market Square, the center of Downtown Amesbury, MA.  The complex of buildings were constructed in the mid 1850's as a wool carding and weaving mill.  Under utilized and abandoned over time, those buildings were an eyesore and a blight.

Once a working 1,900 acre Air Force base in Denver, CO, Lowry transformed into a forward-thinking, mixed-use community.  The idea behind Lowry was to take an existing urban area, give it new life and avoid adding to the problem of urban sprawl.  That dream is now reality.  In fact, Lowry has been so successful that it received the Governor's Award for Smart Growth and has become a model community for urban-infill projects across the country.
