Hardware retailer leases space at Novare’s SkyHouse South.
Ace Hardware is opening a Midtown location.
The hardware retailer submitted a building permit application with City of Atlanta Tuesday to buildout space in the new SkyHouse South apartments.
An estimated $320,000 will be spent constructing the 5,412-square-foot retail space, at 860 Juniper Street.
The Midtown Ace Hardware will most likely open as an “Ace Express.” The Ace Express, introduced in 2012, is a “new retail format that fits into 3,000 square feet or greater.”
“Not meant to be used in areas that could support a larger Ace store, Ace Express is designed for markets currently closed due to market size or occupancy costs,” according to the hardware retailer’s annual report.
A manager at SkyHouse confirmed in a telephone interview Tuesday with What Now Atlanta (WNA) that Ace will be opening at the Midtown apartment complex, but was unsure which retail space the hardware retailer would occupy.
