Fire Station Groundbreaking Launches New Era for Atlanta Public Safety
ATLANTA, GEORGIA — On Monday, September 15, 2025, Manhattan Construction Company, JV partner RFB Contractors, and Fitzgerald Collaborative Group LLC joined Mayor Andre Dickens, City of Atlanta officials and community members to celebrate the groundbreaking of Fire Station 25 at 2349 Benjamin E Mays Dr SW. The ceremony marked the start of construction on a 12,515-square-foot, LEED-certified facility that will provide Atlanta firefighters with modern resources to better serve residents.
Building for Atlanta’s Future
The new fire station represents an $11.2 million investment by the City of Atlanta in public safety and community infrastructure. Situated on a .84-acre lot, the facility will provide state-of-the-art resources for Atlanta’s firefighters—including updated bays for emergency vehicles, improved equipment storage and modern common spaces—designed to support their mission and strengthen public safety for the community.
“This fire station will give Atlanta firefighters modern facilities that match the caliber of their service,” said Jason McFadden, Vice President at Manhattan Construction Company. “We’re proud to partner with the City of Atlanta and RFB Contractors to deliver a project that will enhance public safety and serve this neighborhood for decades to come.”
Strengthening Community Partnerships
This is the second fire station Manhattan has built for the City of Atlanta, reflecting the company’s growing partnership with city leaders and its commitment to improving public infrastructure. The project is being delivered in joint venture with RFB Contractors, a minority-owned business.
Looking Ahead
Construction is expected to conclude in July 2026, following phased development. When complete, the station will stand as a testament to the City of Atlanta’s commitment to its firefighters and to Manhattan’s mission of building projects that strengthen communities.
This is one of multiple fire stations Manhattan is delivering for the City of Atlanta, further demonstrating our partnership with the city and our role in enhancing public safety infrastructure across the community.
