Ackerman & Co. has experience turning old brick warehouses into thriving mixed-use developments. Along with MDH Partners, Ackerman developed the Lee + White project along Atlanta’s Westside Trail which contains restaurants, breweries and office space. The company has purchased another empty warehouse not far from Lee + White and hopes to add to its success. The 12-acre site was acquired in 2021 for $24 million. The site contains a 212,000-square-foot warehouse, about half the size of Lee + White.

The Atlanta Business Chronicle reports Ackerman has requested a meeting with Atlanta planners to discuss rezoning the property at 1200 White St. to allow for a mixed-use project with residential space. The meeting would allow the developer to refine its plans before submitting a formal rezoning application.

It’s not clear when Ackerman will move forward with a project.

Ackerman & Co. has more than 37 million square feet of office, medical, retail and mixed-used space developed, and 4.5 million square feet under management.
