#9 - Mark Toro - Building Community and Value in Atlanta Real Estate

In this episode, I sit down with Mark Toro to talk about his career in real estate development, from early projects like Camp Creek Marketplace and Atlantic Station to shaping Midtown Atlanta. We discuss how he approaches creating vibrant, inviting mixed-use spaces and why density, community, and activation are key to success.We also dive into the upcoming Medley in Johns Creek — a mixed-use development on the former State Farm campus. It will feature apartments, townhomes, office space, a boutique hotel, and retail and restaurants surrounding a central public plaza. Toro shares how he’s curating the mix of restaurants and events to create a true neighborhood hub.Big thanks to our sponsors for supporting this series:✨ Songy Highroads – songyhighroads.com✨ Corporate Environments – corporateenvironments.com✨ USA Cabling – usacablingtech.comIf you’re looking for commercial real estate in Atlanta, give me a call — I’d love to connect.#AtlantaDevelopment #JohnsCreek #mixedusedevelopment ⏱️ Timestamps0:00 – Intro0:35 – Sponsor Break (Songy Highroads)1:24 – Early Career & Background6:34 – Sponsor Break (Corporate Environments)7:31 – Camp Creek & Atlantic Station13:50 – Colony Square16:36 – Sponsor Break (USA Cabling Technologies and Solutions)17:02 – Midtown & Colony Square Leasing23:30 – Colony Square Transformation27:35 – Office Space & Avalon32:51 – Experience & Urban Energy38:01 – The Third Place Concept43:23 – MedleyMore info: https://linktr.ee/timwright.cre
