Underground Atlanta sold once again

The price of the sale was not released, the Atlanta Business Chronicle reports.

ATLANTA — The developer that envisioned a $450 million transformation of Underground Atlanta has sold the property.

According to the Atlanta Business Chronicle, WRS Inc. sold the property to Shaneel Lalani, the CEO of Norcross-based Billionaires Funding Group. Billionaires Funding is a private investment firm.

The price of the sale was not released.

Underground Atlanta was home to the City of Atlanta's New Year's Eve Peach Drop for years. 

The city sold the mall in 2017 to WRS Inc. The developer had plans to turn the downtown site into a mixed-use development with high-end dining, shopping, and residential units. 

Lalani, the new owner, also owns a digital gaming company called Lucky Fortune.

The Atlanta Business Chronicle reported that Lalani said he's focused on bringing together a team of real estate experts, civil engineers, urban planners, and others to collaborate on redeveloping the 12-acre, four-block historic shopping mall. 

He also wants to commission a feasibility study for the district.
