Located in the highly sought-after Marietta Street Artery of Downtown Atlanta, 290 Simpson Street offers a rare chance to secure a flexible and dynamic space that perfectly blends industrial charm with modern functionality.
This 3,113-square-foot building features a versatile layout comprising a 245-square-foot loft that overlooks the 2,368-square-foot primary floor. Capital improvements were made in 2025 to upgrade the structure and loft flooring. Exposed brick walls and original industrial details infuse the space with authentic Atlanta character as skylights illuminate the interior. The backroom can be adapted as a hidden kitchen or additional storage area, while the large garage door adds an element of convenience and security for overnight storage. Beautiful wooden and glass bi-folding doors open directly onto the street, inviting customers in and creating an immersive indoor/outdoor atmosphere.
Mixed-use zoning and a spacious floor plan allow for various uses, including retail, restaurant, office, or industrial functions. Underpinning its flexibility, the property has accommodated uses across the commercial spectrum, including a photo studio, office supply store, sandwich shop, and music production studio. 290 Simpson Street is equipped with sufficient power for restaurant use, and commercial kitchen conversion elements like grease traps have been approved previously. Build-out services or TI allowance will also be considered, assisting businesses in designing the perfect niche to complement this vibrant area.
290 Simpson Street is surrounded by new and established destinations that draw valuable co-traffic. The Georgia Aquarium, Georgia World Congress Center, Centennial Olympic Park, State Farm Arena, and Mercedes-Benz Stadium are moments away. New businesses are also filling in as a brunch restaurant, auto spa, and café. Recently, a neighboring space was leased, and the city’s Downtown Pop-Up Opportunity Fund is fostering even more openings here. The fund offers tenant improvement grants from $5,000 to $50,000 for independent, locally owned retail and restaurant businesses seeking to occupy storefront space ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and other upcoming large-scale events.
