DECATUR AT- A-GLANCE

Collage of Images of Decatur

The City of Decatur is a 4.4-square-mile, urban city just east of the City of Atlanta. The City has five walkable commercial districts with 1.8M square feet of office in the City’s four square miles designed just for businesses. Each district has its own character and includes a mix of office, retail, residential, and institutional uses. 

Decatur is...

  • A PIPELINE FOR TALENT. Key to attracting talent, Decatur has a diverse, multi-modal transportation mix with 500,000+ college-educated people and 82,000 students living within a 30-minute commute of downtown – a number on par with other major metro Atlanta employment centers.
  • A NEXUS FOR GLOBAL HEALTH CARE AND HUMAN RIGHTS GIANTS. The Task Force for Global Health, Emory University Hospital, Carter Center, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) headquarters are all in or within a couple of miles of Downtown Decatur.
  • ORIGINAL LIVE, WORK, PLAY COMMUNITY. Decatur has the personality of a small city with great neighborhoods and schools, and all the assets that come with living in a large and successful region.

Decatur launched its first business e-newsletter in September 2019 in conjunction with our effort to bring more attention to Decatur office locations. We send a new article every month and add it to the spotlight to give you a window into the work and successes of companies behind the doors of our office buildings. To see all the stories, see below. Of course, if you are in the market for office space or just thinking about it, give us a call. We want to count you among our neighbors too.
