Twenty-five days out from the World Cup, the building that used to say CNN on the side reopened this week as The CTR, anchoring a wave of downtown debuts that includes Founders Green and a new Cultural Exchange. The Fulton chair race goes to a June runoff after Mo Ivory finished first. A mixed-income tower topped out along the BeltLine's Westside Trail. Wood's Chapel in Summerhill pivoted to Tex-Mex. And the Atlanta Jazz Festival is back in Piedmont Park for Memorial Day weekend.
Former CNN Center Reopens as The CTR Ahead of World Cup
The building that anchored downtown Atlanta for fifty years under the CNN banner officially reopened Wednesday as The CTR, a redeveloped mixed-use destination with a new atrium, food, art, and the city's new Atlanta Cultural Exchange platform. Mayor Andre Dickens and CP Group, the developers who bought the property, marked the milestone with about three and a half weeks to go before FIFA World Cup matches start drawing visitors downtown.
