A development team including former Atlanta Brave Mark Teixeira unveiled designs on Wednesday for the first phase of a 70-acre mixed-use project near the future park at the Bellwood Quarry.

The developer said the Quarry Yards will include 850 residences, a 300-room hotel, retail, restaurants and more than a half-million square feet of high-end office space in its first phase. The development will rise near the future Westside Park and the Bankhead MARTA station.
