Livelier times could be in store for a mixed-use district that serves as Inman Park’s commercial heart and a bridge between historic homes and the Atlanta Beltline. 

Jamestown, a global real estate management and investment firm best known in Atlanta for developing Ponce City Market, has acquired a minority interest in Inman Quarter, a popular retail and residential hub where three key neighborhood arteries meet, officials announced today. 

The deal means Jamestown has become a joint-venture partner in the 208,000-square-foot property with its longtime owner, multifamily developer and operator TriBridge Residential. 

Jamestown plans to step in and put its experience with leasing, creative placemaking, and property management to work, in hopes of boosting Inman Quarter’s common spaces, creating a program of community events, and filling retail vacancies, per officials.  

“[We’re] pleased to partner with Jamestown to reimagine Inman Quarter through thoughtful programming and new courtyard activation, deepening both our firms’ commitment to the neighborhood,” said Andy Green, TriBridge managing partner, in today’s announcement. 

Developed a decade ago by JPX Works and later sold, Inman Quarter is situated a block from the Beltline’s perpetually buzzing Eastside Trail.

Today, the property counts tenants such as MF Sushi, Little Spirit, bartaco, and Beetlecat among its 40,000 square feet of retail space. Elsewhere, 200 residential units and a parking deck with 515 spaces are included in the Inman Quarter mix. 

Jamestown reps point to Placer.ai stats that show Inman Quarter brings in about 500,000 visitors each year. 

TriBridge operates more than 6,000 multifamily units across the Southeast, including the firm’s most recent development at arts district The Goat Farm. 

Beyond Ponce City Market, Jamestown’s Atlanta portfolio includes Colony Square, Westside Provisions District, and Buckhead Village. The company counts headquarters in Atlanta and Cologne, Germany, more than 650 employees, and $14.2 billion in assets under management across U.S., European, and Latin American markets.
