The mixed-use development two miles east of downtown Atlanta has
signed a Latin restaurant and a coffeehouse to leases. The restaurant,
Babalu, and coffeehouse, Perk, will open June 1 in buildings overlooking
Glenwood Park's Brasfield Square, the community's town center.
Perk will be run by the people who operate Joe's East Atlanta
Coffee Shop, while Babalu is owned by Atlanta restaurateur Hilton
Joseph.
Glenwood Park is a 28-acre mixed-use project off Interstate
20 at Glenwood Avenue and Bill Kennedy Way. Construction began
on the first single-family homes, townhouses and retail at Glenwood
Park in 2004. When completed, Glenwood Park will have 325 to 360
residences, 20,000 square feet of office condominiums and 50,000
square feet of retail, as well as parks and green spaces. Green
Street Properties is the primary developer.
