About The Henry

The Henry is a major mixed-use development under construction in Cumberland, adjacent to The Battery Atlanta and Truist Park. The project will feature two high-rise towers that combine luxury apartments, for-sale condominiums, an Autograph Collection hotel by Marriott, street-level retail, restaurants, and entertainment space into a single walkable destination. Designed to strengthen Cumberland’s growing urban core, the development will also include pedestrian bridges connecting directly to The Battery, along with resort-style amenities such as expansive outdoor decks, pools, fitness facilities, and gathering spaces.

Named in honor of baseball legend Henry “Hank” Aaron, The Henry is being developed through a partnership that includes Goldenrod Companies, SK Commercial Realty, and Braves Development Company. The project is expected to add hundreds of new residences, a 250-room hotel, retail and dining options, and public spaces that further expand the live-work-play environment surrounding Truist Park. Developers describe it as one of the most significant additions to the Cumberland district, reinforcing the area’s emergence as one of metro Atlanta’s premier mixed-use destinations.
