MANUEL'S TAVERn — ATLANTA, GA
Refurbishment of the iconic Manuel’s Tavern on a prominent corner in the Poncey-Highland neighborhood of Atlanta. The Maloof family, longtime owners of this Atlanta landmark tavern, engaged Green Street Properties for the project. Green Street refurbished the 10,000 sf, 60-year old retail building with partner Selig Enterprises. The project received a 2019 Excellence in Preservation Award from the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation. “Few places in Atlanta are more authentic than Manuel’s- a stomping ground of presidents, governors, mayors, writers, activists, policemen, and misfits.” — Atlanta Business Chronicle, March 5, 2015.
Riverview landinG — cobb county, ga
An 82-acre, mixed-use development along the Chattahoochee River. Then a division of Jamestown, Green Street and partner Marthasville Development assembled and entitled over 25 parcels of industrial property into a mix of over 1,000 multifamily and single-family residences with retail and riverfront amenity spaces. Green Street’s entitlement of 1,000 multifamily rental units was the first rental unit zoning approved by that county in over 14 years. Green Street repositioned this blighted property with new streetscape improvements and a 2-mile linear River park- featuring greenway trails, ponds, a river dock, recreational fields, and organic farming- leading to Jamestown’s resale of the property for vertical development.
