What you should know about The Interlock.
The Interlock is best known for taking its name from the historic railroad “interlock” where four rail lines once converged nearby, transforming that transportation legacy into a modern district that unites technology, commerce, hospitality, and urban living.
Opened in 2021, The Interlock was conceived as a mixed-use district that celebrates the railroad history of West Midtown while advancing the neighborhood's emergence as a center for innovation. Its name references the historic railroad interlock located nearby, where four rail lines converged to support Atlanta's industrial expansion. Today, offices, residences, hospitality, entertainment, and retail are woven together within a walkable environment that continues the site's tradition as a place of connection and exchange. Few developments in Atlanta tie the city's railroad heritage so directly to its contemporary technology-driven future.
