And with 9,000 square feet of ground level curated retail, restaurant and entertainment space, residents will have access to everything they could possibly need. Of course, simply being located in West Midtown is an experience unto itself, as Seven88 is located steps from the area’s best shopping, dining and entertainment destinations, including Terminal West, The Optimist, Miller Union, King Plow Arts Center and Westside Provisions District. The building also is within walking distance to Georgia Tech and only two miles away from the Atlanta BeltLine.
