The Related Group has selected Balfour Beatty US to build Whole
Foods Market’s new multi-level flagship store in Midtown Atlanta.
The second phase of The Related Group’s new luxury, mixed-use
residential tower located at West Peachtree and 14th Street and
currently under construction by Balfour Beatty, the new store will
anchor the 39-story tower and has already become a source of
excitement among nearby residents and businesses.
Ideally situated in the gateway to Atlanta’s Arts District,
Piedmont Park and the Midtown business district, this project will
feature the 72,000-square-foot organic foods market and include a
microbrewery, a rooftop patio bar with exciting views of Midtown
Atlanta, in addition to a variety of neighborhood restaurants. With
Midtown being one of Atlanta’s most walkable neighborhoods, the
newest Midtown Whole Foods Market will be easily accessible for
residents, and feature green spaces and sustainability objectives
set forth by the Midtown Eco-District.
Located on 2.2 acres in the busy Midtown Atlanta urban
environment, the Balfour Beatty project team is leveraging the
latest technologies and Lean construction methods to efficiently
plan and deliver the project. With other new projects scheduled for
construction in close proximity, the project team leveraged
building information modeling (BIM) to evaluate the most ideal
tower crane placement scenarios. And, with very limited material
laydown space, the team has innovated a well-organized, systemic
“just-in-time” logistics strategy for material deliveries that is
yielding additional efficiencies.
“Balfour Beatty is proud to be a part of this highly-anticipated
addition to Midtown Atlanta,” said Mike Macon, vice president and
business unit leader of Balfour Beatty’s Georgia operation. “Our
project teams are already hard at work on the adjacent 39-story
tower, and this next phase represents another chapter in our growth
in the Atlanta marketplace.”
Designed by architecture firm Phillips Partnership, Inc., the
project is scheduled for final completion in first quarter 2018.
Consistently ranked by the Atlanta Business Chronicle as a top
commercial contractor in the market, Balfour Beatty is well
established in Georgia with deep experience serving the commercial
office, retail, hospitality, education, and multi-family
sectors.
