Grant Park Gateway - Atlanta, GA

Grant Park Gateway, sits at the southeastern end of Atlanta’s oldest park, abutting Zoo Atlanta. An influx of visitors annually strained the capacity of the existing surface parking lots and created the need for additional parking. Replacing an 8-acre surface parking lot, the Grant Park Gateway offers 1,017 parking spaces topped with a 2.5-acre green roof and 4,000 sf restaurant space, providing a grand lawn area, a shaded terrace plaza, terraced seating, a water feature, and a pedestrian overpass, as well as a total of 8.6 acres of green space. The parking deck is built into the existing landscape with a design inspired by the natural foliage of the park and derived from the veins in leaves. The innovative solution not only doubled parking capacity but offers ADA-compliant exits from various points, eliminating the need for an elevator on any floor.
