 ATLANTA, GA – In an effort to meet the city’s demand for Class A creative workspace, two veteran real estate developers are joining forces to bring 8West, located at the corner of 8th and Howell Mill, to the Upper Westside.

Developers Jim Meyer of Atlantic Capital Properties and Mack Reese of Gateway Ventures envision the space to attract technology and creative companies who will thrive in authentic, walkable and amenity-rich environments just minutes from some of the city’s top restaurants, retailers and entertainment venues.

“The timing to integrate a Class A workspace component into the retail hub of the Upper Westside could not be better,” said Meyer of Atlantic Capital Properties.

“When we worked with Gateway Ventures on the development of Centergy at Tech Square in the early 2000s, we found there was demand for space from companies who wanted to be close to the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) for their recruiting and research needs.

"As Midtown has changed and the economy evolved, we now see a similar demand for space on the Upper Westside. With 8West, we have designed a project which will appeal to creative companies and individuals who value walkability and unparalleled access to the best restaurants and entertainment venues in Atlanta – a place where people want to be.

"I’m thrilled to be working with Mack and Gateway Ventures again as we aspire to bring the same connection to the west side of Georgia Tech’s campus that we brought to the east side 17 years ago.”
