‘Shops at Metropolis’ remain shopless. For now.
Despite rumors among residents and industry insides, Dean & Deluca says it won’t be occupying some of the 39,000 square feet of available “prime” street-level retail and restaurant space at Metropolis in Midtown.
“We are not currently considering any locations in the Atlanta area,” a Dean & Deluca spokesperson told What Now Atlanta in an email Friday. “Your insiders must have us confused with another retailer!”
Located on Peachtree Street in Midtown, space formerly occupied by the now shuttered Silk restaurant and Yes Home, are under redevelopment through Jamestown Properties.
Jamestown Properties is the Atlanta-based real estate investment firm that recently purchased City Hall East with plans to transform a portion of the space into Ponce City Market.
Unfortunately, Jamestown Properties is allergic to answering questions about their properties. But based on signage covering the vacant spaces at Metropolis including the “proposed West elevation” rendering shown above, our guess is the street-level property will be leased for retail.
For us, Dean & Deluca would be a perfect fit. What would you like to see open there?
