Brand new brick blocks of apartments over shops around a central lawn.
What Atlantic Station looks like
Four to six storey apartment blocks run in brick fronted rows along a grid of streets, each lined with trees and evenly spaced street lamps. Ground floors are glass storefronts under canvas awnings, with string lighting strung from building to building over the sidewalks.
A brick paved street leads to the , its arched marquee facing cafe tables set out under the awnings. The pavement changes from brick pavers to cobblestone near the entrances, then to plain asphalt on the side streets. Ramps lead down from several corners into parking decks that run beneath entire blocks.
A round pond sits at the center of the development, crossed by a footbridge and ringed by benches and clipped hedges, with a fountain at its middle. Office towers rise behind the trees well above the roofline of the shops, their dark glass catching the sun.

Shot in Atlantic Station
For The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, the finale's street battle was shot just outside Atlantic Station, in a parking deck and an open section of roadway off 17th Street. What Men Want also filmed at Atlantic Station on May 25, 2018. The production's own record does not name a building or street there.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, 2021
The scene sits in a parking deck and an open stretch of roadway off 17th Street, on the edge of the development nearest the interstate. The production's own coverage does not give a specific address beyond that, so the deck shown here stands for the kind of structure used rather than a confirmed single frame. Street View
What Atlantic Station can double for
Avalon in Alpharetta, Georgia
Avalon's own apartments sit above ground floor retail along a grid of new streets, the same stacked arrangement Atlantic Station uses on its own blocks. Both developments were built as a single mixed use project rather than filled in block by block over time. Avalon's storefront signage and trim read differently than Atlantic Station's plainer brick fronts, so a close shot of the shops would need dressing to hide the difference.

Mosaic District in Merrifield, Virginia
The Modera Mosaic building is five storeys of brick and metal paneling over ground floor retail, close to Atlantic Station's own scale and stacking. Both sit around a green space at the center of the development rather than strung along one long street. Mosaic District's paths are concrete with dark wood slats rather than the brick and cobblestone paving Atlantic Station uses, which would show in any shot of the ground.

Santana Row in San Jose, California
Santana Row stacks apartments over ground floor shops along a grid built around one central boulevard, the same massing Atlantic Station uses along 17th Street. Its balconies and pastel colored walls read differently on camera though, against Atlantic Station's plainer brick fronts. A close shot of the balconies or the pastel paint would give the location away, so a production would need to frame tighter on the plainer brick blocks away from the boulevard.
