Atlanta, GA, August 22, 2026 —
The Atlanta Botanical Garden is embarking on a significant $160 million expansion project aimed at creating direct access to the Atlanta Beltline. The initiative, slated for completion by 2028, intends to transform approximately 8 acres of land situated along Piedmont Avenue and the Beltline’s Northeast Corridor.
At the heart of the expansion will be a new Beltline Plaza. This area is designated to host community programs and provide an immersive visitor experience. The project also includes the development of a new visitor center, which will feature essential amenities and dedicated bicycle parking, catering to the growing number of visitors expected to utilize the new access point.
This expansion represents a substantial investment in both the garden’s infrastructure and its integration with the city’s popular urban trail system. The projected completion date of 2028 indicates a multi-year development process for the garden and its new facilities.
