Veteran Real Estate Developers Team Up for Upper Westside Development in Atlanta, GA

Rendering of planned 8 Westside corporate campus,
8th and Howell Mill, Atlanta, GA

Jim Meyer

 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.

Mack Reese

"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.”

Jordan Robbins

DENVER, CO –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announces the sale of 1600 Glenarm Place, an iconic, mixed-use high-rise located on the 16^th Street Mall in downtown Denver, Colorado.

The HFF team marketed the asset exclusively on behalf of the seller, a joint venture between RedPeak Properties and Allstate Investments, and procured the buyer, Northland Investment Corporation. The tower was purchased along with a 0.77-acre land parcel for future development located at 14^th & Glenarm.

1600 Glenarm Place was originally constructed in 1967 as an office tower known as the Security Life Building and was subsequently converted in 2006 by RedPeak Properties into one of downtown Denver’s first and most prominent residential and retail mixed-use projects. 

The building comprises 333 luxury apartment units and approximately 29,000 square feet of commercial space, including premium frontage along Denver’s 16^th Street pedestrian mall. 

Jeff Haag

 The 31-story building has a WalkScore® of 96 and is within walking distance of nearly 40 million square feet of office space and two blocks of light rail access. 

The residential units average approximately 980 square feet in a range of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and penthouse layouts. 

Resident amenities include an outdoor terrace with barbecue grills and fireplace, state-of-the-art fitness center with Fitness on Demand and a yoga/Pilates studio, demonstration kitchen, cyber lounge, conference room, movie theatre, game room, resident library and reading room, valet parking, 24-hour concierge service and door-to-door room service from Earl’s Restaurant on the property’s ground floor. 

The HFF investment advisory team representing the seller included managing director Jordan Robbins and directors Jeff Haag and Anna Stevens.

“1600 Glenarm is a one-of-a-kind, legacy asset within the downtown Denver market and by far one of the most recognizable assets in the area,” Robbins said. 

Anna Stevens

“RedPeak was extremely forward-looking in 2006 with its conversion from office space into a mixed-use residential and retail building, which has allowed 1600 Glenarm to maintain its prominent image within the market since its completion.”

“Northland recognized the irreplaceable nature of this asset, which marks their entry into the Denver market," Robbins continued.  “This, coupled with their ability to implement an aggressive value-add strategy, will only serve to further the property’s position within downtown.”

Shorenstein Lands Trio of New Tenants at Bank of America Plaza in Atlanta, GA

Bank of America Plaza, Atlanta, GA

 ATLANTA, GA  July 30, 2018 – Shorenstein Properties LLC announced three notable lease signings today at Bank of America Plaza, a newly energized Class A office tower in Midtown Atlanta.

Christopher Caltabiano

 The 55-story tower, the tallest in the Southeast, recently underwent a $10 million renovation to the building’s West Wing that delivered an array of premier amenities, including state-of-the-art workspaces and a dynamic food hall featuring chef-driven concepts and healthy options.

Headlining the list of new tenants at Bank of America Plaza is Revel Systems, a San Francisco-based tech firm that transforms the way business is done across the globe by integrating all operations and customer channels, driven by the Point of Sale, into a single dashboard.

Jeff Keppen

 Revel signed a 25,547-square-foot full-floor lease on the building’s 38^th floor and will move into upgraded, loft-style offices that are part of the tower’s expanding spec suite program. 

The owners were represented by Jeff Keppen and Nicole Goldsmith of CBRE. The tenants were represented by Christian Devlin of CBRE.

Outsized demand for the spec suites, which include open floor plans, creative lounge space and tech-enabled amenities, has spurred Shorenstein to accelerate development for the next block of spec suite space, which totals nearly 15,000 square feet and is expected to come online this fall. 

Also as part of the spec suite program, Shorenstein unveiled lease signings with Groundfloor (7,746 square feet), the first and only real estate lending marketplace open to non-accredited investors, and Florence Healthcare (4,106 square feet), a fast-growing company focused on improving clinical trial data flow to advance cures through software.

“Our thriving spec suite program has established Bank of America Plaza as a market leader in high-tech loft space that will attract the most sophisticated tenants from Atlanta and beyond,” said Christopher Caltabiano, Senior Vice President of Asset Management at Shorenstein Properties. 

Nicole Goldsmith

“The demand for these next generation workspaces also coincides with the roster of new dining, retail and entertainment destinations in close proximity to Bank of America Plaza, creating one of the most dynamic work environments in the U.S. 

"We welcome this impressive group of companies to the building, and look forward to providing an atmosphere that helps foster bottom-line results for our tenants.”

Gregory Dukat

The crown jewel of Atlanta’s skyline and one of the tallest buildings in the U.S., Bank of America Plaza is also home to leading tenants such as Anthem, Inc., Display Data, Featurespace and Riskalyze.

“Shorenstein’s forward-thinking approach has fueled the impressive transformation of Bank of America Plaza into a premier tech hub,” said Greg Dukat, CEO of Revel Systems, a feature rich Point of Sale and business platform. “The ability to access high-tech, move-in ready space in the heart of Atlanta was a key factor in our decision to open a new regional office here. 

"Mass transit, great restaurants and other top attractions are within an easy walk of the building and will provide Revel Systems a considerable advantage in recruiting top talent from across the area. We look forward to calling the building home for many years.”

As part of the recent West Wing renovation, Shorenstein debuted Marketplace 600, a 17,000-square-foot food hall that includes a “Chef’s Table” which showcases the skills of celebrity chefs who frequently visit the building. Marketplace 600 features a variety of food stations, including a salad bar, hot meal bar, grill station and dessert bar, and also offers cooking classes and digital order and pick-up through the Thrive mobile app.

Christian Devlin

The upgraded West Wing also features a new 4,000-square-foot conference and event center, along with a new Bank of America branch. Other on-site amenities include the 17,000-square-foot RPM Health Club & Spa that offers personal training, group classes and massages, and a full-service Starbucks in the main lobby.

Bank of America Plaza is directly adjacent to the North Avenue MARTA rail station, and offers immediate north and south access to Interstates 75 and 85. Mercedes-Benz Stadium, World of Coca-Cola, Ponce City Market and the Georgia Institute of Technology are all within close proximity to the building. 

More than 63 restaurants are also located within five blocks of Bank of America Plaza, including Publik Draft House, Edgar’s Proof & Provision, Baraonda Ristorante & Bar and Livingston.
