Originally Published: Atlanta InTown

Site work is underway at the 27-acre Pullman Yard development in Kirkwood, and “major construction” is expected to launch in the coming weeks, according to a report at Curbed Atlanta. Atomic Entertainment plans to turn the former sugar and fertilizer processing plant—and later, train depot—into a “creative city” mixed-use campus. Once complete, the site will feature sound stages for film production, as well as offices, residences, a boutique hotel, a food hall, and green space. New renderings, including the overview above, have also been revealed.

Emory Healthcare has signed a 28,000-square-foot lease at Baltimore Block, a recently renovated historic office development across the street from Emory University Hospital Midtown. Leasing efforts for the property were led by JLL’s Claire Ross and Mike Werner, with Cushman & Wakefield Managing Director Bruce Propst representing Emory Healthcare. Baltimore Block was acquired by Gamma Real Estate and Meltzer Properties in 2015. Emory Healthcare will dedicate the Baltimore Block space for their Finance and Materials Management operations. Built in 1885, the 14 brick rowhouses of Baltimore Block once stood as Atlanta’s first rental units and considered the most luxurious living quarters at the time. The site is now on the National Register of Historic Places.
