September, 2015 Update --
Much has happened in Doraville Georgia since I wrote THIS post back in 2008!! And I've written numerous articles since then about Doraville, and what is now being called Assembly Doraville. Every thing you see in the second photo below is now...G-O-N-E!! The site was purchased by Integral Group and Macauley + Schmit. They have developed a master plan of streets, parks and such which was approved by the City of Doraville. Plans include an amazing "covered street" that will connect Park Avenue to the Assembly Doraville, by going UNDER the MARTA station as well as 13 Norfolk Southern railroad tracks!
Here is what the soon-to-break-ground Third Rail Studios will look like!
Further in this original post, there was a link to a site called The Doraville Project...which was active when the site was for sale. That has now been shut down.
But here are links to other recent posts I've written about Assembly Doraville as well as Third Rail Studios.
Assembly Doraville Will Be Home to Third Rail Studios
Doraville GM Plant to be a New Urban Node
Now Here's some SERIOUS real estate For Sale!
It was announced in 2005 that the GM Plant in Doraville would cease operations in 2008. Well, it official, and it's now on the market. 165+ acres of really, really prime real estate. As you can see in the picture, the site is direclty adjacent to I-285 where some 270,000 cars pass daily! What's so special about this site? It could be the best mixed-use, live-work-play opportunity Atlanta will ever see.....EVER! Why?
All the green roofs you see are the Doraville MARTA Station!!! That's right....a mass transportation system right next to 165 acres of land!!! "Heaven...I'm in Heaven" say all the planners! (You can see the plant in the distance, across the railroad tracks. Yep...even got the railroad here too!
But, seriously, even if you are not interested...check out this website The Doraville Project. It's one of the coolest, best web sites I have seen! Lots of impressive aerial views of the site, info, etc.
Hey, if you know any big time investors, refer them to the Broker handling...or send them to The Thom And Ray Team! I'd LOVE the referral off of this one!
REALLY! Check out the website!
