A property in Downtown Atlanta is being positioned for major mixed-use redevelopment.
Atlanta-based land investment firm SSG Realty Partners has listed the 10-acre site in South Downtown Atlanta.
The property is located at the intersection of Ted Turner Drive and Whitehall Street. The site borders the historic Castleberry Hill neighborhood and is near Mercedes-Benz Stadium and State Farm Arena. It is also adjacent to the massive Centennial Yards project, which recently marked the topping out of its first ground-up building.
The area is experiencing more than $10 billion in investment, “making it one of the most dynamic development corridors in the Southeastern U.S.,” according to a news release.
The property was formerly the distribution center for Gourmet Foods International, which relocated to a larger facility in Decatur several years ago.
SSG’s Director of Residential Land Group Peyton Stinson and Managing Partner David Branch have been retained by the property owner, McCall Railroad LLC, to market and reposition the site.
“This site offers an unparalleled redevelopment opportunity in one of the most active and rapidly evolving areas of downtown Atlanta,” Stinson said in an announcement. “With its proximity to Centennial Yards and the historic Castleberry Hill neighborhood, developers have a unique chance to shape the future of this vibrant, high-growth district.”

Artisan Yards— LOL!
Fingers crossed. It’ll be fantastic for that part of town if this plan comes to fruition.
Similar story was mentioned in Curbed Atlanta last year. Hopefully it will come to fruition.
I believe GFI already moved to Decatur, haven’t seen their trucks in sometime, though they likely still own the property itself. Really would be great to see Whitehall developed from there all the way down through McDaniel to Metropolitan, has been a discussion point for over 2 decades.
It says this is “a new hub for the creative community in Atlanta” but what does retail, entertainment etc. have to do with the creative community? This doesn’t mention art, music or anything else that has to do with creativity.
Exactly…
Good point. There’s supposed to be a Black Musician Walk of Fame installed nearby on MLK, and Northside. Maybe they can try to capitalize on that.
