Union City, located just southwest of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, is a community undergoing significant transformation. Its developments are strategically designed to capitalize on its proximity to the world's busiest airport and major interstates, which directly impacts the demand for hotels. Here are the developments coming to Union City that could drive hotel business in the area:
Major Industrial and Logistics Growth
Union City is a key logistics and industrial hub for the Atlanta metro area. The development of large-scale distribution centers and warehouses is a primary driver of hotel business.
New Speculative Industrial Facilities: Companies like Stream Realty and Link Logistics have been completing new speculative distribution centers in the area, such as the Union City Logistics Center. These facilities, built without a specific tenant in place, are a bet on the area's growth. Once leased, they bring in a steady stream of corporate employees, contractors, and visitors for training, setup, and ongoing operations.
Corporate Relocations: The city has been successful in attracting major companies like PAC Worldwide, a packaging manufacturer, to set up operations. These new facilities create hundreds of jobs and generate significant business travel, as corporate executives and engineers visit the site for meetings and oversight.
Residential and Community Revitalization
The city's "Reclaim, Renew, Reimagine" (R3) Master Plan is a key driver of long-term growth and is designed to create a more livable and attractive community.
New Home Construction: There is a boom in new home construction in Union City, with multiple new communities and subdivisions being developed by builders like D.R. Horton and Direct Residential Communities. This influx of new residents leads to a direct increase in demand for hotel rooms as friends and family come to visit.
Shannon Parkway Streetscape Project: The city has secured grant funding to make significant streetscape improvements along Shannon Parkway. The project will include a new multi-use trail, sidewalks, lighting, and landscaping. This type of project enhances the area's aesthetic appeal and safety, encouraging more foot traffic and making the area more inviting for visitors, which benefits local businesses, including hotels.
Mixed-Use and Commercial Development: The R3 Master Plan's "Reimagine" zone is focused on creating a dense, walkable urban village with a mix of residential, retail, office, and hotel spaces. This type of mixed-use development creates a destination in itself, drawing both business and leisure travelers who want to be in a vibrant, amenity-rich environment.
Proximity to the Airport and Key Attractions
Union City's location is its greatest asset. The developments mentioned above, combined with its existing assets, make it a favorable location for hotel business.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL): As one of the closest communities to the airport, Union City benefits from overflow business from travelers who prefer to stay outside the immediate airport area for a potentially lower price or different amenities.
Georgia International Convention Center (GICC): Located in neighboring College Park, the GICC hosts a continuous stream of events, conferences, and conventions. Union City hotels can capture a portion of the lodging demand from these events.
South Fulton Parkway: This major corridor is home to numerous industrial and corporate parks. The continued development along this route ensures a steady flow of business travelers who need convenient lodging.
