A Chinese property-development company has found a comfortable niche in the thriving Atlanta real estate market. The company now has a pipeline of 14 projects in residential, mixed-use and hotel in metro Atlanta, Georgia that is valued at about $500 million. "We have always liked the potential for the Atlanta market," Xue said. That is because the company has property in high-density areas of Atlanta like the midtown and downtown sections. He said the midtown and downtown areas also are favored by young professionals who generally prefer having a lot of neighbors.
