Prestwick Companies announces restaurants with pre-leasing underway for new apartments on The Chattahoochee River
The Prestwick Companies announced today that Reformation Brewery, Chattahoochee Coffee Company and Grand Champion BBQ will open new locations at The Eddy at Riverview Landing, a 310-unit luxury apartment community situated within a vibrant 82-acre mixed-use development on the banks of The Chattahoochee River in Smyrna.
The Eddy will open in Summer 2019 and provide residents with direct access to the river, coffee shop, brewery and BBQ restaurant. A six-acre park will be the anchor of an abundance of outdoor amenities such as a riverfront multiuse trail, a kayak launch, a public dock, observation decks and an outdoor music stage.
“Situated on the Chattahoochee River with abundant green space, The Eddy is an incredible retail opportunity. We approached specific companies that would fit really well with what Prestwick is creating,” said Kristi Rooks of thoughtwell., which is leading the retail leasing for The Eddy. “We can’t wait for Grand Champion BBQ, Reformation Brewery and, of course, the Chattahoochee Coffee Company to open in this awesome community.”
Reformation Brewery, a fast-growing craft brewer based in nearby Woodstock, will occupy approximately 2,400 square feet of street-level retail space at The Eddy. Since launching its first location in 2013, Reformation Brewery has quickly ascended to the forefront of metro Atlanta’s craft beer scene. Founded by two former seminary students and taking its namesake from the historic Protestant Reformation of 1517, the brand aims to break away from traditional institutional tastes and elevate the experience around well-made beer.
“The Eddy at Riverview Landing is the ideal location for the next chapter of Reformation Brewery,” said Spencer Nix, co-owner of Reformation Brewery. “This pristine riverfront setting and dynamic, bustling neighborhood will cultivate an exceptional environment for our brewhouse that aligns with our brand and creates moments that matter for our loyal customers. We look forward to calling The Eddy home for many years to come.”
Grand Champion BBQ will accompany Reformation Brewery in the food and beer hall at The Eddy. An Atlanta favorite with locations in Milton, Roswell, Marietta and Krog Street Market, Grand Champion BBQ will occupy approximately 1,300 square feet of space. Since opening its first location in Roswell in 2011, Grand Champion BBQ has been awarded many recognitions such as best beef brisket, macaroni and cheese, and baby back ribs in 2011 from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, best BBQ runner up in the state in 2013 from Atlanta Magazine, and one of the top 13 BBQ joints in the nation by Zagat in 2015.
Chattahoochee Coffee Company, known for its strong, delicious javas and commitment to impact disadvantaged and at-risk communities around the globe, has flourished since opening in 2012. The Eddy will become the company’s third metro Atlanta store.
“We are pleased to welcome these three outstanding food and drink concepts to The Eddy at Riverview Landing,” said Chuck Young, Partner at Prestwick. “Our future residents and the general public will enjoy some of Atlanta’s finest javas, cold brews and barbecue just steps from their front door, while also having access to The Chattahoochee River and The Eddy’s other unique outdoor amenities. We’ve already seen strong interest and encourage everyone to visit our website to learn more about the available homes in our wonderful community.”
Matrix Residential, the award-winning property management subsidiary of Atlanta-based multifamily investor and operator Pollack Shores, began pre-leasing The Eddy at Riverview Landing in October.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Prestwick Companies on The Eddy at Riverview Landing, which will be one of Atlanta’s premier luxury apartment communities,” said Tracy Bowers, Managing Director at Matrix Residential. “These restaurants will bolster the surrounding neighborhood, create excitement for residents and further differentiate The Eddy from nearby competitors.”
The Eddy at Riverview Landing features a variety of open floor plans for one, two and three-bedroom residences ranging from 632 to more than 1,435 square feet. Each home will feature granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, high-end cabinetry and luxury hardwood plank flooring starting at $1,150 dollars per month.
Additional amenities include an expansive Infinity edge pool with cabanas for relaxing and outdoor dining, outdoor community theater, a state-of-the-art fitness center, dog wash, resident lounge, on-site bike storage, and spectacular views of the Chattahoochee River and Atlanta skyline.
The community is also conveniently located within a short drive of major entertainment destinations such as The Battery Atlanta, Atlantic Station, Mercedes Benz Stadium and Vinings Jubilee. Major employers nearby include the new UPS regional sorting hub, Home Depot world headquarters, and Georgia State University.
