Contact List: Forge Atlanta — $3.7B Mixed-Use Entertainment District

Project: Forge Atlanta — mixed-use entertainment/smart city district in downtown Atlanta Developer: Webstar Technology Group Inc. (OTC penny stock) Est. Cost: $3.7 billion total / $756M Phase 1 Stage: LAND CLOSED (Dec 2025) — Eyeing groundbreaking 2026 Capital Status: ACTIVELY SEEKING — traditional RE financing + blockchain tokenization + municipal bonds Updated: 2026-02-01


⚠️ RISK ASSESSMENT

  • Webstar Technology Group is an OTC penny stock company
  • Ambitious project-to-company-size ratio (massive)
  • Tokenization/blockchain capital strategy is unconventional
  • However: they DID close on the land (Dec 2025) and are working with Develop Fulton (county economic development agency)
  • Approach with appropriate due diligence

  2. Municipal Angle: Contact Develop Fulton to understand the inducement structure and how capital partners fit
  3. Due Diligence First: Before reaching out, review Webstar's OTC filings for financials, insider ownership, and any red flags
