Westbridge, Martin Family to Bring Office/Retail Space to West Midtown Atlanta in Adaptive Reuse

ATLANTA — Westbridge Partners and the Martin family — also known as the Midtown West Associates/Brickworks — have formed a partnership to retrofit the last buildings of the historic Miller Union Stockyards in Atlanta’s West Midtown neighborhood. The Martin family has owned the three-acre property located at the corner of 10th Street and Brady Avenue for more than 50 years. The tract includes two former meat-packing buildings constructed in the early 1900s. Westbridge and the Martin family will transform the historic property into 130,000 square feet of office and retail space known collectively as Stockyards Atlanta. The Martin family has redeveloped several historic properties in West Midtown, including The Brickworks at 1000 Marietta St. Cushman & Wakefield will lease the office space on behalf of the owners, which are hoping to attract tech firms, entrepreneurs and startup companies coming out of nearby Georgia Tech. Construction is expected to begin in the fourth quarter, with a targeted opening date of summer 2016. Atlanta-based ai3 is the architect for Stockyards Atlanta.
