Building permit application filed for pharmacy in historic olympia building.
Plans to overhaul Downtown’s landmark Olympia Building are underway.
The Georgia Building Authority submitted a building permit application to City of Atlanta earlier this week to renovate the existing three story structure for a new Walgreens Pharmacy.
The site, at the intersection of Decatur Street, Edgewood Avenue, and Peachtree Street, is being redeveloped by CSH-23 Peachtree LLC and Tampa-based firm Encore Real Estate (CSH-23 and Encore purchased the property for $2.2 million in 2013.)
