Blue Pearl Veterinary Clinic will open its third Atlanta location in 8,940-square-feet of the West Midtown development, which will also house JuicyGreen, a health driven restaurant concept from Erik Maier of Yeah! Burger, in 3,260-square-feet of the property.

The total available space at the location is only 13,000-square-feet, according to property developer Westbridge Partners‘ website, meaning there isn’t much, if any, room left.

Westbridge Partners acquired the property in 2012 through a partnership with The Meddin Company, which says on its website that 1071 Howell Mill Road will be, “a community of boutique retail, award-winning restaurants and upscale residences.”

“Based on their operating history in metro Atlanta and other states, we believe Blue Pearl will be an asset to the continued growth of the neighborhood,” Chris Faussemagne of Westbridge Partners told What Now Atlanta (WNA) in an email Tuesday when asked if the lease to Blue Pearl meant a change in direction for the project.

Faussemagne also said JuicyGreen, which had planned to open in spring 2015, is still under construction. Its social media accounts have not been updated since October 2014.

Calls seeking comment from The Meddin Company were not returned.

  1. All of the Interlock development looks great. But I have one problem. I live a couple of blocks east of Northside Drive and being able to walk to the development from where I live (off 14th Street) to Howell Mill Road is really treacherous and unpleasant. It would be really helpful if the developers could work with the city etc. to improve east/west walkability. Really…what we need is a east/west walk/bike connection from Piedmont Park to the new Quarry Park.
