Another family-operated concept is bound for East Lake’s Hosea + 2nd mixed-use hub.  

A husband-wife team has signed on to open a pediatric clinic that will take second-floor office space at the commercial and residential infill community, which counts a number of restaurants and a pocket of townhomes across four corners of previously vacant land. 

Kirkwood Pediatrics plans to start opening for newborns and sick visits in mid-August in renovated office space above Perc Coffee at 2380 Hosea Williams Drive. A full opening for all patients is scheduled for October. 

The pediatrics concept will offer same-day sick visits, telehealth, well visits, vaccines, and other services for Atlanta families.

Clinic owner Dr. Emily Peitzman tells Urbanize Atlanta the clinic has signed a 10-year lease for 3,200 square feet—formerly the offices of Purpose Built Communities—that will feature nine exam rooms. Another component will be a conference room Peitzman says will remain open for community use. 

“After buying our first home in Kirkwood,” Peitzman noted via email, “:I can't wait to be of service to our immediate community.”

Jay Martin of ReDevStudio, a partner in Hosea + 2nd, tells Urbanize Atlanta the clinic signing means all commercial and retail spaces at the project are claimed again.  

Last month, Hosea + 2nd’s owners revealed they had sold one of three retail corners to a neighborhood store concept to be called Huckleberry’s Market.

The space in question, formerly home to Hippin’ Hops brewery, spans 2,300 square feet, with an 800-square-foot wraparound patio outside. 

Maggie Trautman, the property’s new owner, said tentative plans call for opening the market in early fall, pending delays. Expect a family-friendly concept with grab-n-go lunches, prepared dinners, snacks, soda, beer and wine, and ice cream. 

The market will bring East Lake a neighborhood convenience concept in the vein of nearby Oakhurst Market and Kirkwood’s Kenny18 Bottle Shop, Valero convenience store, and Evergreen Butcher + Baker.

Hosea + 2nd’s food-and-beverage tenants include Poor Hendrix, Mix’D Up Burgers, Perc Coffee Roasters, La Fonda, and barbecue concept Gene’s. 

Elsewhere, below the forthcoming pediatrics clinic, is hair salon Cameo. 

The owners of Fellini’s Pizza and La Fonda restaurants, Clay Harper and Mike Nelson, alongside ReDevStudio's Nathan Bolster and Martin, bought the four East Lake corners in 2015 from the Cousins Family Foundation, an organization that’s earned national attention for its work revitalizing East Lake since 1993. 

The following year, Hosea + 2nd won the Atlanta Urban Design Commission’s Award of Excellence for contributions to the city's urban fabric.
