Undate Info on Northlake Mall
update info on Northlake Mall
From: http://www.tonetoatl.com
New owner "committed to project."
I have received a number of emails and comments about the status of Northlake Mall. To that end, I followed up with Tony Ruggeri, President of ATR Corinth Partners, the Dallas based firm that purchased Northlake Mall in early 2016. Mr. Ruggeri says he and his firm are "committed to the Northlake Mall project" and that things are progressing, albeit slower than he or residents may have hoped.
A
20 year veteran of the commercial real estate industry, Ruggeri has
developed, redeveloped, owned, and managed over 2 million square feet of
commercial real estate.
Northlake
Mall, originally built in 1971, was for much of its life owned by mall
powerhouse Simon Property Group. The 962,000 square foot mall is
located off I-285, bordered by Briarcliff Road, Henderson Mill Road and
Northlake Parkway, and is today anchored by JCPenney, Sears, and
Macy's. (Former anchor Kohl's closed last year.)

Steel City Pops Coming to Decatur
Popsicle purveyor coming to Decatur.
Steel City Pops, a Birmingham based popsicle business, is planning to make its Atlanta debut later this summer in Decatur. The new store is expected to open at 312 Church Street, in a space originally planned for Guy Wong's Big Boss Chinese restaurant.
Although as recently as this past December, Wong was "testing" dishes for Big Boss at his Westside eatery Le Fat, plans for the 312 Church property have been abandoned. I spoke to Wong earlier this week and he confirmed that "we are not moving forward with that project."
Wong first announced plans for Big Boss in 2013, but since then, he has opened Le Fat with Mike Blum, Ton Ton in Ponce City Market and One Rooster, also in partnership with Blum, on the Westside. Wong is no doubt plenty busy with his new restaurants, as well as his original Miso Izakaya, so perhaps it's best that he hold off for now.

From thedecaturminute.com
On April 25, 2017 City of Decatur Mayor Patti Garrett, the UMCH President and CEO, Rev. Hal Jones, and Debby Stikes, Chair of the UMCH Board of Trustees, met to sign the sale agreement for the $40 Million purchase of the approximately 77 acre UMCH property adjacent to the southeastern city limits of the City of Decatur.
Mayor Patti Garrett said, “We are so excited to keep this project moving forward and I am proud to be able to represent the Decatur City Commission in executing the contract that will start the process of making the purchase happen.”
Proceeds of the sale will support the UMCH mission in new communities according to Rev. Jones, who said “we are committed to reaching out to, and serving, the alarming and growing number of children and families who are in crisis. The sale of the Decatur property helps us expand this ministry across North Georgia.” Board Chair Debby Stikes added that “preserving the Moore Chapel and the gravesite of UMCH’s founder Rev. Dr. Jesse Boring was very important to the Board, to members of our alumni group, and to countless others across North Georgia who partner with us in this ministry. We are delighted with the City’s support in honoring the memories created on this property.”
