Live Nation To Upgrade Downtown ATL By Joining $5B Development At Centennial Yards
Live Nation Entertainment is investing in its real estate portfolio, committing to a $5 billion plan to upgrade Downtown Atlanta with a Stadium district. The live-music entertainment company plans to lease a 5,300-seat venue in Atlanta's Centennial Yards. Currently in development next to the city's State Farm Arena and Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the mixed-use megaproject will cost upwards of $5 billion. According to MSN, Live Nation will collaborate with sports teams and real-estate developers on the venture. Atlanta Hawks owner Tony Ressler, whose team plays home games at the Arena, and his brother Richard Ressler, owner of development firm CIM Group, have already started bringing the project to fruition. 'The fact that Live Nation chose to be in downtown Atlanta is a big deal,' said CIM's co-founder and principal, Shaul Kuba. 'We're creating a whole new market in Atlanta that really did not exist before.' The focus remains on stadiums as the centerpiece. However, the inclusion of Live Nation will ensure Downtown Atlanta's readiness and ability to bring A-list artists to the city. Its concert venue will become one of Live Nation's largest indoor theaters. While the project promises to help the city's struggling downtown area, economists do not seem sold on its stadium-based neighborhood model. Opposing experts claim the ventures use taxpayer funds to divert spending away from the community to the new stadium. Reflecting the city itself, Downtown Atlanta remains diverse, with Black people accounting for 48% of its population, according to Niche. However, its financial and residential downturn, escalated during the pandemic, makes it the new trial spot for stadium districts. Thus far, Centennial Yards has made slow progress due to city officials' approval efforts, permits, and partnerships. With only $1.3 billion of its budget developed as of yet, it has 162 apartments, a brewery, and walkways established in the area. However, by the 2026 World Cup, the development team hopes to finish a 304-unit apartment complex, alongside hotels, restaurants, and retail. Furthermore, it hopes to build an immersive movie theater-meets-sports bar that can fit 1,500 attendees. Alongside their investment in creating a space in Downtown Atlanta, Live Nation also plans to add 20 more venues to its portfolio through 2026. It hopes to play a major role in the growing entertainment and sports-based real estate industry.

Atlanta Hawks, State Farm Arena: 10 million pounds of waste recycled since 2021
To celebrate Earth Day, the Atlanta Hawks and State Farm Arena announced they'd hit a new 'sustainability milestone' at the venue. Since 2021, the Hawks and State Farm Arena said they'd diverted more than 10 million pounds of waste from landfills. Included in that number are nearly four million pounds of aluminum, plastic, glass and cardboard that have been recycled, as well as more than three million pounds of composted food and organic materials. The two organizations said they'd also repurposed almost three million pounds of electronics, clothes and other items. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] At State Farm Arena, a minimum of 90% of waste has been diverted away from landfills, according to the Hawks and State Farm. In April 2022, State Farm Arena became the first sports and live entertainment venue to receive a 'TRUE Platinum certification for zero waste' on the planet. TRENDING STORIES: GA couple sentenced for padlocking fridge, allowing son to molest half-sister in exchange for food 1 dead, 1 hospitalized after hit-and-run crash in Gainesville Sandy Springs mother accused in daughter's drowning found not guilty by reason of insanity 'We are honored to serve as a community asset, not only in sports and entertainment, but also in sustainability,' Sofi Armenakian, Head of Sustainable Strategy for the Atlanta Hawks and State Farm Arena, said in a statement. 'Ten million pounds is a huge number. This milestone is as a testament to the power of collaboration – from our team members and partners to the fans who join us every event. Together, we're proving that when a venue leads with purpose, meaningful environmental impact follows. We're all part of the solution.' Here's how officials said State Farm Arena's 'zero waste journey' has played out: Recycled more than 4 million pounds (4,090,082) of materials. This primarily included aluminum, plastics, cardboard, glass and more. Composted more than 3 million (3,233,169) pounds of food and organic material. Any food that could not be donated was composted. Composting is the natural process of turning organic matter, such as food and compostable service ware, into a valuable fertilizer used by local farmers. Reused or donated nearly 3 million pounds (2,634,409) of materials like food, electronics, clothing, crates, pallets and more. Reduced waste by 651,209 pounds by eliminating paper tickets, individual condiment packets, disposable service ware and more. 'We are incredibly proud of to hit this 10-million-pound milestone,' Andrew Saltzman, President of Business Enterprise and Chief Commercial Officer for the Hawks and State Farm Arena, said. 'Our success in sustainability is a credit to our partners who continue supporting our efforts, our employees who are driven to be leaders in the space and the fans who attend our events and appreciate the importance we place on taking care of the environment.'
