Vertical construction of a new four-story, timber-framed office building is now underway at Ponce City Market.
The loft-style building will sit at the corner of Ponce de Leon Avenue and Glen Iris Drive on a former parking lot, according to developer Jamestown. 619 Ponce will include 85,000 square feet of office space and 25,000 square feet of retail space
Jamestown said in a press release that it’s using Georgia-grown timber for the project, rather than sourcing it from Canada, Austria or Germany. The company said using Georgia-grown timber and a regional supply chain – a first for mass timber construction in the state – will reduce the project’s transportation emissions and the overall environmental impact of construction.
“Mass timber is the future of sustainable development, and the future of mass timber is locally sourced,” said Jamestown President Michael Phillips in the press release. “619 Ponce will help redefine sustainable mass timber construction in the Southeast, providing developers and architects with a clear path forward for using local timber.” Read More..
