ATLANTA — Fulton Supply Co., an Atlanta-based distributor of industrial equipment and machinery, has converted its former warehouse in downtown Atlanta’s Castleberry Hills neighborhood into loft-style residences. Situated at 342 Nelson St. S.W. near the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Fulton Supply Lofts is a $12 million adaptive reuse project offering 74 one-, two- and three-bedroom lofts and covered deck parking. Fulton Supply moved its operations from the warehouse to Stone Mountain, Ga., after 94 years of occupancy. Rents in the apartment community range from approximately $850 to under $2,500 per month. Construction began on the three-story property in early 2015. The project is currently 70 percent occupied, according to Spring Taylor of Provence Real Estate LLC and leasing director at Fulton Supply Lofts. Lofts average 1,000 square feet per unit and include LED lighting, Energy Star appliances and low-flow plumbing, as well as original architectural features such as iron staircases, floor-to-ceiling windows, exposed brick walls and hardwood floors. Joel Roth, president of Fulton Supply Co., financed and oversaw the conversion with a focus on preserving as much of the warehouse as possible while creating affordable housing.
