Loan proceeds will be used to refinance debt and fund ongoing development work at the property while Integral continues to sell individual parcels to multifamily and commercial developers. With direct access via I-285 and MARTA, Assembly Yards is a TOD master-plan development project situated at a prime location along the Atlanta “Perimeter.”
