Where the boys of summer once played, hundreds of households now call home.

The Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball team decamped for suburban Cobb County in 2016, and now Dallas-based developer Trammell Crow is constructing hundreds of apartment buildings at the location of the team's old ballpark.
"In the 700 block of Hank Aaron Drive, Trammell Crow Residential’s latest Alexan-branded development has partially topped out, claiming about 3.6-acres of former parking spaces and empty lots," reports Josh Green.
That's not all: "Alexan Summerhill, as it’s called, is rising with 325 units in five stories in the shadow of Georgia State University football’s Center Parc Stadium. The site is also bordered by well over 100 new and under-construction townhomes in at least three separate developments."
In all, 500 apartments have opened on the north side of the stadium since 2019.
As noted by Green, Trammell Crow is building numerous other multi-family residential developments around the city—all branded as "Alexan" (e.g., Alexan EAV, Alexan Old Fourth Ward, Alexan Buckhead Village, etc.).
