ATLANTA — Grove Street Partners, in a joint venture with Batson-Cook Development Co. (BCDC), has broken ground on Gateway Center Two, a 51,000-square-foot office building located a half-mile from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The building is part of the second phase of Gateway Center, a $230 million, 1.1 million-square-foot mixed-use project that Grove Street Partners is developing. The development also houses the 128,396-square-foot Gateway Center One and three Marriott-branded hotels spanning 754 rooms. Gateway Center Two marks the first joint venture between Grove Street Partners and BCDC. In addition to the groundbreaking, the joint venture inked a lease with ECFMG, a nonprofit medical certification and training provider based in Philadelphia. ECFMG will occupy a full floor, or 24,000 square feet, upon completion in March 2019. Lee Evans of Colliers International represented the landlord in the lease, and John Behm, Jim Byrd and Jason Jones of Cresa represented the tenant. Alfie Means, Wilson Rogers and Jimmy Warren of iCap Realty Advisors arranged construction financing through Protective Life Insurance Co. Gateway Center offers direct connectivity to Hartsfield-Jackson and MARTA via the airport’s SkyTrain commuter rail.
