ATLANTA — Chicago-based Coyote, a logistics provider and subsidiary of UPS, has signed a lease for 47,986-square-feet of office space within Armour Yards, an adaptive reuse project situated between Atlanta’s Midtown and Buckhead districts. Coyote will lease the entire office portion at 255 Ottley, bringing the overall Armour Yards project to 86.4 percent leased. Gourmet coffee roaster East Pole Coffee Co. will also open at 255 Ottley later this month. Brooke Dewey of JLL represented the ownership group comprising Third and Urban and institutional investors advised by J.P Morgan Asset Management in the lease transaction.

The Armour Yards location will be the second Atlanta-area office for the logistics company and will create roughly 325 jobs.

Situated near the Atlanta BeltLine, Armour Yards comprises 28 buildings and is home to companies including Sweetwater Brewing Co., American Spirit Works, Atlanta Track Club and Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q. The project team includes Smith Dalia Architects and general contractor Gay Construction. Armour Yards’ loft-office portion is housed within four former industrial buildings totaling 190,000 square feet.
