ATLANTA, GA, October 10, 2024 - Ackerman & Co. and Novare Group are teaming up to develop a two-building retail project in Sugar Hill, Ga. The project, featuring buildings of 6,035 square feet and 7,240 square feet, will be built adjacent to Novare Group's 306-unit Conclave Sugar Hill multifamily community.
Kelly Wilson, Senior Vice President of Ackerman Retail, a division of Ackerman & Co., will spearhead the leasing efforts for the project, which will be developed on a 4-acre site on Hillcrest Drive.
"We have a long-standing relationship with Novare Group, and this is an exciting opportunity for us to partner with them on this high-quality project adjacent to the City of Sugar Hill's master-planned downtown. The city has created a vibrant live, work, play district, and we're looking forward to adding a great mix of restaurants and retail to complement the city's downtown amenities," said Leo Wiener, President of Ackerman Retail.
Ackerman Retail will target homegrown and regional restaurants, fast-casual eateries, boutiques and shops for the two retail buildings, which offer flexible space options starting at 1,260 square feet.
Added Novare Group President Jim Borders, "Alongside the city's thriving downtown district, the retail and residences in our project will enhance Sugar Hill's growing appeal as a place to live and visit. Ackerman Retail brings extensive experience developing and leasing successful retail environments, including Lee + White, one of Atlanta's most dynamic mixed-use developments."
The city's 11.5-mile Sugar Hill Greenway will be integrated into the Sugar Hill mixed-use site, which will also connect to downtown via a pedestrian bridge that will span Highway 20 from Stanley Street. Two acres adjoining the 2-acre retail project site will be set aside for a public park.
The city's master-planned downtown district is home to Sugar Hill's City Hall, The Bowl Amphitheater, the art-deco Eagle Theater, the Sugar Hill Art Gallery, restaurants, residences, boutiques and more.
