ATLANTA, GA – Third & Urban, a real estate development and investment firm, announces the first major tenant in COMPLEX, an adaptive re-use project in West Midtown slated for an early December groundbreaking.

The upscale catering company, Proof of the Pudding, will occupy 31,000 square feet in a 10-year lease with an expected move-in date of April 2017. In addition to POTP, PSG Construction and LTX Solutions will also move into COMPLEX in 2017.

“This is a great opportunity for Proof of the Pudding,” said Adam Noyes, President of Proof of the Pudding. “Our new space at COMPLEX paired with the West Midtown location will allow us to better serve our clients and help ensure our continued growth and success.”

COMPLEX, slated for a complete redevelopment by May 2017, will feature 105,000 square-feet of creative flex space for individuals and businesses. The project will offer approximately 20 different spaces, with a mix of warehouse, office and retail uses, as well as varied ceiling heights and loading capabilities.

The brand-forward, community-driven environment will fill a unique need for business space in the highly sought-after West Midtown neighborhood. State Bank & Trust has provided construction financing for the $16 million project.
