What was once an amusement park called “the Coney Island of Atlanta,” and the original home to the “Atlanta Crackers” baseball team, has been transformed into the mixed-use, urban “destination” known as Ponce City Market. Jamestown Properties has made unprecedented progress in the historic rehabilitation of the 2.1 million square-foot property that was Atlanta’s first Sears retail store (which later became Atlanta City Hall East in 1991.)
Returning after four years, Party At Ponce was held on Saturday to celebrate the opening of the first venues in the hip intown market. Guests enjoyed private access to the property’s curated retail selection, which includes Anthropologie, Williams-Sonoma and West Elm. In addition, James Beard Award winning and nominated chefs Anne Quatrano, Linton Hopkins, Sean Brock, and Hector Santiago were on hand to share tastings from their new restaurants located in the market.
