4/16/18

Grove Street Partners, in a joint venture with Batson-Cook Development Company (BCDC), has broken ground on the phase II office building at Gateway Center, inking a lease with ECFMG, a Philadelphia-based non-profit medical certification and training provider, for 24,000 square feet – a full floor – of the 51,000-square-foot Gateway Center Two office building near Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

Grove Street Partners has a long history of developing at Gateway Center, having recently completed the Renaissance Hotel, as well as the 128,396-square-foot Gateway Center One office building, Marriott Hotel and SpringHill Suites Hotel.

“We’re pleased to be adding some much-needed Class A office space to this submarket,” said Grove Street Partners President Kevin Kern.

Gateway Center Two marks the first JV between Grove Street Partners and BCDC.

“We take great pride in partnering with the best-in-class developers throughout the country, and the team led by Kevin Kern at Grove Street Partners is no exception,” said Litt Glover, President and CEO, BCDC. “We love the project, and love the location close to the world’s busiest airport, and we are thrilled to have ECFMG as our first tenant.”

Lee Evans of Colliers International Atlanta represented Gateway Center Two in the transaction. CRESA’s John Behm, Jim Byrd and Jason Jones represented the tenant. Alfie Means, Wilson Rogers and Jimmy Warren of iCap Realty Advisors arranged financing with Protective Life Insurance Company.

Gateway Center is the only office development in the area offering direct connectivity to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and MARTA via a 1-minute, 50-second free Atlanta SkyTrain ride. The new building will be walkable to three hotels containing 754 rooms and three restaurants.
