Atlanta Paper Mill-Turned-Office Leasing Up
Westbridge and FCP partnered to redevelop a 70-year-old one-time paper plant into 226,000 square feet of offices. Commercial Edge reports the developers of Westside Paper have signed a lease with Construction Resources, which will open a design center there in early 2025. The company, which caters to residential builders and contractors, has agreed to occupy 45,000 square feet.
The partners have also recently announced a long-term lease by Proof of the Pudding, Atlanta’s largest caterer, for an event venue at Westside Paper.
In addition to the adaptive reuse, the 15-acre site includes 65,000 square feet of new construction.
Completed in late 2022, Westside Paper is along the Atlanta BeltLine Northwest Spur, under construction as part of the multi-use trail and light rail transit system built largely on former railroad rights-of-way around central Atlanta. Westbridge says it brings relevance to functionally obsolete properties with vast potential.
