The look and feel of a planned public park in Atlanta’s largest high-rise district is soon going to take form.
New York-based Field Operations was selected Wednesday to helm the design work of the 4-acre project at 98 14th St., a derelict plot known as one of Midtown’s biggest eyesores. The property is owned by the Midtown Improvement District and overseen by the Midtown Alliance, which is tasked with developing the property.
