ATLANTA, GA (Feb. 21, 2012) – Invest Atlanta – Atlanta’s Development Authority –has provided a $100,000 loan to an Atlanta group that will help it acquire the building at 44 Broad St. in downtown Atlanta (top left photo). The total project cost was $3.8 million.
Invest Atlanta provided the loan to B. C. Grand, LLC, a limited liability company established by Williams-Russell & Johnson Inc., which will occupy 51% of the 58,542-square-foot building.
The other 49% of the building will be leased out to other firms. Williams-Russell & Johnson (WR&J) is a multi-disciplined engineering, architectural planning, program management and construction management firm.

“I am delighted to welcome WR&J to the Grant Building and the Fairlie-Poplar neighborhood,” Hall said. “Employees and clients will find that the firm’s location in the heart of the downtown business district is a real asset.”
