With the announcement that the Turner Field area would likely go under significant change with the departure of the Atlanta Braves organization; Atlanta Mayor, Kasim Reed, announced that the Turner Field stadium and the surrounding parking areas would be up for sale and redevelopment opportunities in late 2016.

Several entities expressed interest and in 2015, the Atlanta Fulton County Recreation Authority announce that Georgia State University and a local development company had placed the winning bid for Turner Field.
