Underground Atlanta has gone through a few different variations. It's interesting to walk around down there and the current owners are trying to revitalize it. They've managed to bring in a few tenants but still have a lot of space to fill. Several groups have been holding pop up events and the nearby music venue is expanding so I'm hopeful it'll continue to grow. It may not be what it once was but it could develop into a location, especially with the proximity to train stations.
Underground malls are very popular in South Korea and Japan--they're all over the place, and sometimes integrate with "upstairs" above-ground stores as well.
I lived in Crystal City from 2003-2006, right across the street at 1600 S. Eads. It was a big bonus to have the Underground mall there when it was nearly fully leased and bustling with numerous food/drink options. I was always partial to King St. Blues. The 2005 BRAC round decimated the mall and COVID was like a kick to the groin. It's a unique spot in the region - I hope it can persist.
Underground mall at L'enfant? Where???
I like the Crystal City underground mall. Glad I'm not the only one.
This made me think of a site close to me.
