🎉 Happy 45th Work Anniversary, Susan Davis! 🎉

Today, we’re thrilled to celebrate a truly special milestone: Susan’s 45 years with Childress Klein!

Susan began her journey with Trammell Crow back in 1980, and since then, she has become an essential part of our CK Atlanta team. From her early days working with Geoff Tyers on the construction of all the buildings at the Galleria — starting with the iconic 100 Galleria — Susan has played a key role in shaping our projects.

Over the years, she has expertly managed construction budgets and loan draws for our Atlanta projects. After Geoff retired, Susan stepped up to assist Mitchell Taylor with the development of our industrial and storage projects, ensuring everything ran smoothly. She has also supported Gordon Buchmiller and Don Childress, all while serving as the Office Manager for the Galleria.

What truly sets Susan apart is her dedication to helping everyone around her. She knows all the tenants, vendors, lenders, and construction teams, making her the face of CK in Atlanta. Whether it’s lending a hand to the engineering and security teams or ensuring her colleagues have what they need, Susan is always there with a smile.

Thank you, Susan, for your unwavering support and commitment over the years. Here’s to many more years of success together! 🥳👏

We’re always thrilled to celebrate our amazing work family, both past and present!

We had the joy of reuniting with some familiar faces.

We miss JJ's eloquent words and warm presence, but her energy and enthusiasm continue to inspire us every day.

It was a wonderful gathering with partners David Pitser and David Haggart, reminding us that the bonds we create at CK extend far beyond the workplace.

Here's to family, memories, and the lasting connections we've built together! ❤️

🌟 Big Changes at Promenade on Providence! 🌟

We’re excited to share some amazing news from Childress Klein about our journey in South Charlotte. As featured in the , we’ve just wrapped up an incredible eight-year transformation of this beloved shopping center, and we couldn’t be prouder!

In a world where shopping is evolving fast, we took a bold step to rethink our tenant mix. With the recent openings of and the innovative small-format store, we’re now at 99% occupancy! 🎉 (Thanks to our incredible leasing agent Susan Clements!)

Our partner, David Haggart, reminds us that change is essential. “The Amazon effect” has reshaped retail, and we’ve embraced that challenge by introducing more experiential shopping options. From the state-of-the-art PGA Tour Superstore to a diverse lineup of 13 dining spots—think delicious tacos, gourmet pizzas, and more—we’re all about enhancing your experience.

We believe that shopping centers should be community hubs where you can shop, eat, and enjoy time with friends and family. With just 2,800 square feet left to lease, we’re on the lookout for more exciting retail concepts to join our vibrant mix!
