DOWNTOWN'S GEN Y LURE
central atlanta progress aj robinson us department energy maria vargas 10th annual downtown development day americasmart gen y
We got nostalgic with Central Atlanta Progress? A.J. Robinson (here with US Department of Energy?s Maria Vargas) about the 10th annual Downtown Development Day  last week at AmericasMart. With some 500 CRE pros in attendance, A.J. says he remembers the first one when 40 people showed. While Downtown Atlanta's office market has  taken a beating this recession, A.J. says its future hinges less on office and more on the  budding Gen Y population. ?The one thing that drew people to look at downtown… was it's a youthful market. I think companies are going to realize that? and return to downtown to pursue that employee base.
