ATLANTA — Selig Enterprises has submitted a rezoning request for the second phase of The Works, an 80-acre mixed-use village located in Atlanta’s Upper Westside neighborhood. According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Phase II could span 2.2 million square feet upon completion.
Phase I of The Works included adaptive reuse offices housing firms including Google Fiber and City of Atlanta; Westbound at The Works, a 306-unit apartment community; Chattahoochee Food Works, a food hall with 31 stalls serving dishes including pho, barbecue, donuts, subs, Mexican food and more; Dr. Scofflaw’s at The Works, a research-and-development brewery concept from Atlanta-based Scofflaw Brewing; retail space, including boutique stores, salons, Stellar Bodies and a standalone Ballard Designs store; and outdoor gathering areas, including Fetch Park (off-leash dog park) and The Camp (outdoor playground and live music space).
Selig is proposing a mix of multifamily, office and retail components along Logan Circle and Chattahoochee Avenue. Phase II, which will span the remaining 53 acres of the site, is currently in early planning stages, with no immediate construction timeline established at this time.
Selig is working closely with the Upper Westside CID and local neighborhood groups to gain insight and feedback throughout the process.
Founded in 1918, Selig Enterprises is a family-owned and operated real estate company that has a portfolio of more than 15 million square feet of retail, industrial, mixed-use and office properties throughout the Southeast. In addition to The Works, the company is spearheading Sola, a mixed-use campus in west Georgia that is anchored by Great Wolf Lodge. Selig recently sold 45 acres at Sola for the development of Georgia’s first professional cricket stadium.
