ATLANTA. LOGISTICAL JEWEL OF THE SOUTHEAST.

As the largest industrial market in the Southeast and fourth largest in the U.S., Atlanta boasts a myriad of unique business and logistical advantages. IDI’s Atlanta office can put you in the middle of it all.

Nimble transportation network

Not only is Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport the busiest passenger airport in the world, it’s the tenth busiest cargo airport in North America. When it comes to asphalt, Atlanta is one of just five cities on the continent that is served by three major interstate highways. Even marine shipping is represented in this inland city: one of the East Coast’s fastest-growing ports, the Port of Savannah, is a half-day’s drive away.

Logistics and data jobs

With such a mature transportation system, no wonder Atlanta ranks fourth in the nation for logistics-based employment. Only cities twice its size or larger—Chicago, New York and LA—top this southern metropolis. Atlanta is also ranked in the Top 5 U.S. markets for total bandwidth and fiber access, making it an ideal data center hub.

Rapid growth ahead

According to recent population growth research, Metro Atlanta and the I-85 corridor (Atlanta to Raleigh-Durham) will be among the fastest-growing corridors in the U.S. The prediction is that by 2030, this region will see upwards of 35% population growth, 38% job expansion, 40% growth in home sales and a stunning 120% growth in office demand.

The choice for big business

Nine Fortune 500 companies have their corporate headquarters in Atlanta, placing Atlanta No. 5 in the nation for this exclusive ranking.
