Welcome to BLVDNEXT
This transformative project brings new energy to a historic Atlanta neighborhood while preserving the soul that makes it special. We’re creating spaces where families can put down roots, where businesses can grow, and where community happens naturally.
This 22-acre transformation, led by Atlanta-based The Integral Group, represents more than just development – it’s a commitment to community-driven progress. With plans for housing, welcoming green spaces, and health resources, we’re creating a neighborhood that serves everyone who calls Atlanta home.

Training the next generation to rebuild a neighborhood they call home
On a sunny morning in the Old Fourth Ward, ten trainees gathered on the grounds of the former Atlanta Medical Center, wearing hard hats and neon safety vests.
They’re enrolled in an eight-week course at Haliburton Heavy Equipment Operator School,where they’re learning to operate excavators as part of the redevelopment of the 22-acre site by, Wellstar Health System.
That morning’s session began with the outdoor huddle — a daily routine that combines light stretching, encouragement, and a bit of talk about the work ahead. As instructor Marcus Haliburton checked in with each of them, one trainee led the group in stretches, warming everyone up for another day of simulator and classroom training.
Old Fourth Ward residents help shape vision for former Atlanta MedicalCenter site
By Adrianne Murchison
The closure of Atlanta Medical Center in 2022 left more than a gap in emergency care – it sparked questions and concerns among Old Fourth Ward residents about the site’s future. Would the 22-acre property remain vacant, or could it become a reflection of the community’s heart and aspirations?
