"Adaptive Reuse"

In 1864, General William T. Sherman burned Atlanta to the ground, including the area around the Zero Mile Post marking the terminus of the Western & Atlantic Railroad. Now, 155 years later, South Downtown is on fire again but this time, it is as one of the hottest development submarkets in the Southeast. With the still-active downtown rail yards at its center, more than $10 billion in new development is either completed, under construction or in the planning stages. This “Downtown Ring of Fire” stretches from Centennial Olympic Park and Mercedes-Benz Stadium to Castleberry Hill and over to Underground Atlanta. The project SSG Realty Partners recently brought to market, Artisan Yards, is a 9.9-acre site at the intersection of Ted Turner Drive (historic Spring Street) and Whitehall Street. It is currently the headquarters of Gourmet Foods International, which has outgrown the property and is relocating to a new facility. The primary catalyst for this significant new development momentum is the $1.6 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of the Atlanta Falcons and the 2018 MLS Cup champions Atlanta United.

NEW YORK CITY — The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York has approved the sale of Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical Center's Manhattan campus. A joint venture between the Rudin family and North Shore-Long Island Jewish (LIJ) Health System acquired the campus for $260 million. The joint venture plans to redevelop and reopen the Greenwich Village hospital, which closed following the healthcare provider's April 2010 bankruptcy. The planned opening for the new medical center will be fall 2013. In addition to the campus, St. Vincent's is contributing the O'Toole Building, formerly the healthcare provider's primary care clinic, to the deal. The six-story, 160,000-square-foot building will be redeveloped into the North Shore-LIJ Center for Comprehensive Care. The $110 million project will contain a full-service imaging center as well as a ambulatory surgery center. North Shore-LIJ will be the primary developer for the property, with the Rudin family contributing $10 million to help offset the development costs.

Plans released last month mentioned 590,000 square feet of new …
