​ 
Atlanta – Avison Young Atlanta has partnered with Greenleaf Management to lease The Station, a 110,172 square foot multi-tenant office park located at 3081-3091 Holcomb Bridge Road and 6015-6075 Atlantic Boulevard in Norcross. Avison Young Senior Associate Chris Godfrey was lead broker on the deal.

Commercial real estate has always been a relationship based industry. Those that want to buy buildings need to know the right people to find good deals. They also need investors and lenders willing to provide the capital for what can be incredibly large purchases. Strong relationships with the right people will likely always be a valuable commodity in commercial real estate. But, technology has created a way for asset managers, investors, and lenders to expand their network in a way never before possible. ​

Greenleaf was awarded one of the first ever grants from the USDA to expand our community farming initiative at our Atlanta Communities! 

This grant will propel our hyper local community farming program for the next three years, enabling increased food production, improved distribution through a local food share and healthy food education. We are excited to expand the resources that we can provide to our residents. 

Greenleaf Community Farms was profiled at our EastSide Crossing property for our work to provide residents with free hyper local fresh food. In the new environment of lockdowns and social distancing, our food programs have enabled 100s of our residents to maintain a heathly lifestyle while saving their money as well!

The Lupton Building will become office space with open floor plans, kitchens on each floor and lockers and showers in the basement. Greenleaf will invest about $5 million in the renovation — and reap the benefits of buying and renovating in an Opportunity Zone that offers capital gains tax breaks to investors.

"We won't have capital gains tax on the building when we sell it, as long as we hold it 10 years," Codrea said.

Financial incentives are an important way to attract investors willing to take on the challenges of bringing old buildings back to life, Gray said.
