Not in my neighborhood. The few malls are packed, have to search for a space anywhere. Commercial real estate is going crazy! 10s of thousands of apartments going up all over. Any place decent to eat has a wait. Demand is rocking in Midtown Atlanta!
Midtown Atlanta is near Georgia Tech if I remember correctly. Anecdotally I've noticed that areas with a concentration of knowledge intensive industries and/or universities are much more economically vibrant than the rest of the country.
