About the Role
DT Communications is supporting the redevelopment of the historic Mall West End through the branding and marketing of One West End Atlanta.

Redevelopment of this landmark requires a balance of community engagement, sustainable solutions, and commitment to economic vitality.
BRP Companies and The Prusik Group have project plans that showcase a balance of commercial and residential uses. One West End will be a mixed-income, mixed-use development. Commercial space will include: 125,000 square feet of retail, with a grocery store, fitness center, food & beverage experiences, and local boutiques. Residential space will include: 800+ rental and student-targeted housing units; mixed-income rental housing, with 70% workforce and 30% affordable; and a hotel.
Community amenities will include a public green space, fitness center, resident lounge, and bike parking. The multi-year redevelopment process is expected to begin in 2025, with Phase One completion slated for 2028.
