Ponce City Market did not become an Atlanta landmark overnight.
Frances Bohn, Director of Development and Construction at Jamestown .lp , walks us through the early redevelopment of Ponce City Market and the behind-the-scenes work that helped bring one of Atlanta’s most recognized projects back to life.
When Jamestown bought the building in 2011, the first step was remediation and abatement throughout the historic building.
At the same time, the team worked closely with the National Park Service to make sure the redevelopment honored what was original to the structure.
That meant keeping the original window frames, scraping and restoring them, and reglazing 67,000 panes of glass.
They preserved what mattered, restored what could be saved, and built a new experience around the character that was already there.
