Atlanta, Georgia United States Owner: Jamestown Properties / Green Street Properties See a map of this location  Hazards  Interesting Features 2 million square feet Largest brick building in Southeast US  Security Measures  Historical Dates Built: 1925 Closed: 1989  Required Equipment  Recommended Equipment  History Sears, Roebuck & Co of Chicago purchased 16 acres of land on Ponce de Leon Avenue for construction of a retail store and warehouse distribution center for the Southeastern US. The site was bounded by Ponce on the north, Glen Iris Dr on the west, North Avenue on the south and the Southern Railway on the east. The August 2, 1926 Grand Opening drew a crowd of 30,000. Many arrived via the trolley line that ran along Ponce de Leon Ave. This was the first Sears retail store for Atlanta and a symbol of Atlanta’s raising prominence as a commercial distribution center for the South. With 440 feet of frontage on Ponce, and 750,000 sf and 9 stories, the building made an impressive statement on the landscape of 1920’s Atlanta. As Atlanta’s metropolitan area spread, many distribution centers relocated to suburban sites and the building’s role as a warehouse diminished. Sears closed in 1989. In 1991, under Mayor Maynard Jackson, the City of Atlanta purchased the building from Sears and converted it into a center for city offices, renaming it City Hall East. After nearly two decades and at only approximately 10% occupancy, the City determined that they should sell City Hall East. Recognizing the potential in this historic structure at the nexus of four established neighborhoods and on the future Atlanta BeltLine transit corridor, Jamestown Properties inked a deal to purchase the building. Jamestown Properties is embarking on a restoration of the structure honoring its history. The mixed-use plans and adjacency to the BeltLine evokes the historic relationship that the area has with transit, entertainment, retail and business that stems back over a century. 4.26.2021 - Building was renovated and opened as the Ponce City Market with mixed retail shops, apartments, hotel, and rooftop park with cocktails!  Media Coverage  Future Plans  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries CHE Visit with Morsberger Group Sat, Feb 2nd, 2008 posted by JustinDustin 25 pictures CHE Visit with Jamestown Properties Fri, Sep 9th, 2011 posted by JustinDustin 25 pictures Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links http://www.poncecitymarket.com  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
