About This Project

Client: Ponce City Market LP Development/Jamestown Ponce City Market LP

Project consists of major renovations and additions to the former Sears & Roebuck warehouse and City Hall East for the City of Atlanta, located on Ponce De Leon Avenue in northeast Atlanta. This 12-level building is nearly 100 years old and includes over 2 million square feet of space. The redevelopment of the site included demolition of most of the exterior parking decks, remediation of environmentally-impacted soils and groundwater, replacement of the existing roof over the main building, and renovation of most of the current interior improvements of the main building. In addition to the renovation of the main building space interior, two (2) new retail exhibition structures, a new seven (7) level ramping system, and an elevated podium parking level are being constructed. Below-grade parking is also available underneath the podium parking level which will required new perimeter retaining walls and reuse of some of the existing retaining walls.

Professional. Practical. Proven.
