As the largest adaptive reuse campaign in Atlanta, Georgia’s history, Ponce City Market repurposed and renewed a historic icon of the Old Fourth Ward, reinvigorating the site and surrounding neighborhoods with an exciting and ever-shifting mix of experiences.
The project, which was a public-private partnership with the City of Atlanta, has been a catalyst for the neighboring community, spurring the construction of nearly 2000 new multifamily residential units and over $1 billion in new investment.
Now, a new 360,000-square-foot office and retail building is coming to further revitalize the Ponce City Market neighborhood. Designed by S9 Architecture and developed by New City, it’s expected to create a vibrant job hub for a new generation who wants to reconnect with the past, while reimagining and redefining the future of Atlanta.
When completed, 725 Ponce will feature 12 floors of loft office space with an eighth-floor terrace above a redeveloped urban prototype Kroger supermarket with a large plaza and elevated gathering area at the base and three levels of below-grade parking.
Adjacent to Ponce City Market, the ground-up redevelopment is destined to further solidify the urban revival of the neighborhood that started with S9 Architecture’s planning and revitalization of the market.

And, of course, it’s on the Atlanta Beltline, as long-term readers of REVITALIZATION already know.
The Atlanta BeltLine is the most comprehensive transportation and economic development effort ever undertaken in the City of Atlanta and among the largest, most wide-ranging urban redevelopment programs currently underway in the United States.
The Atlanta BeltLine is a sustainable redevelopment project that is transforming the city.
It will ultimately connect 45 intown neighborhoods via a 22-mile loop of multi-use trails, modern streetcar, and parks – all based on railroad corridors that formerly encircled Atlanta.
When completed, it will provide first and last mile connectivity for regional transportation initiatives and put Atlanta on a path to 21st century economic growth and sustainability.
