A mixed-use project has started opening that’s been called an integral component of Trilith’s new urbanism-meets-TV/film industry framework since it all started rising from farmland.

Trilith LIVE—a cornerstone of the Town at Trilith commercial district in Fayetteville, about 30 minutes from downtown Atlanta—has recently delivered its first phase near shops, restaurants, a new hotel, and other mixed-use facilities.

The complex, billed as a “premier destination for entertainment in the Southeast,” will eventually include an 1,800-seat auditorium, a luxury cinema, two large stage spaces for live television audiences, and a public plaza with water features, among other uses.

Trilith’s goal with the 530,000-square-foot project is to attract a wide range of events—from Broadway-style shows and live audience tapings to concerts and festivals.

The initial phase includes the 25,000-square-foot stages (with VIP rooms), production offices, green rooms, and support space, including a conference room and kitchen area.

Trilith reps tell Urbanize Atlanta phase two at Trilith LIVE is scheduled to open late this year. That will include the cinema, auditorium, plaza, and Class A offices.

Other facets of the finished complex will include a 1-acre gathering area and stacked, 730-space parking deck, which is being called the first of its kind in Fayette County.
