The complex at 659 Auburn Ave., right off the Beltline's Eastside trail, will also feature a new connection from the Beltline to the Studioplex campus. The complex will be be home to Beetnix Juice Bar, serving juices cold-pressed on site; a craft cocktail, apertif and coffee bar from the team behind Ponce City Market's 18.21 Bitters; and the first Atlanta location of Hawkers Asian Street Fare, a Florida startup offering street food from across Southeast Asia including baos, skewers and stir-fried noodles.

Columbia Ventures LLC, the company behind the Studioplex expansion, also oversees the Spoke development in Reynoldstown and E.Co in Decatur.
