Much in the fashion that Inman Park got Krog Street Market and the Old 4th Ward got Ponce City Market, Grant Park is poised to get The Beacon.

The developer, Phillippe Pellerin of Pellerin Real Estate, hopes the "$20 million revitalization of six old industrial warehouses" will "revitalize an almost forgotten part of the neighborhood," according to the website.

Everything's still in the early stages, though. Some leases have been signed, but construction isn't set to begin until late this year.

The site describes The Beacon as a cultural destination along the Beltline, which will have everything from an interval training gym to loft office space to family-oriented restaurants.

The planned opening date is late summer 2017.

Donald Trump's administration deployed the military to Washington, D.C., in the name of fighting crime, and in an Aug. 11 news conference he mentioned the possibility of military being sent to other large American cities, all of which are led by Black, Democratic mayors. And while Atlanta wasn't included in Trump's list, the city fits that profile under Mayor Andre Dickens. (Photo Illustration: Philip Robibero / AJC | Source: Getty)
