Ponce City Market... Revitalizing a Neighborhood

I was a little premature posting this video last month. Jamestown had made a mistake and released it early. They promptly took the video down, leaving NUR readers disappointed. Well, they finally released it officially. So, I'm updating this post with the new link...

The Ponce City Market project is possibly the biggest non-transportation project going on in our region currently. When it is all said and done, it will be an amazing reuse of one of Atlanta's most iconic historic buildings. We are used to seeing great reuse of historic properties here in Roswell. However, all too often, we see old historic properties in Atlanta suffer from severe neglect and end up being bulldozed.

Jamestown Properties is renovating the old City Hall East/Sears Building into a huge mixed-use building in the heart of the Old Fourth Ward. There will be over 300k sq ft of retail, 400k sq ft of office and 250 residential units. I can't wait to see the finished product in early 2014. The video below is the best preview I have seen on what to expect...

Great video! Thanks for sharing this. I'm really excited about this project and seeing this building -- that I remember being empty in the 1980s -- come to full life.
