Branch Properties Announces Piedmont Healthcare at Summerhill Station

Piedmont Urgent Care and a Piedmont primary care office will open at the Publix Super Markets-anchored development coming to Atlanta’s Southside

Atlanta-based real estate investment and development firm Branch Properties today announces two Piedmont Healthcare tenants will open at the upcoming Summerhill Station in the Summerhill neighborhood adjacent to downtown Atlanta. Branch closed on 4.4 acres of land in November 2021 to build the 87,000-square-foot retail development, which will be anchored by a 50,000-square-foot Publix Super Market and is set to deliver in Summer 2023.

Joining the lineup of tenants at the shopping center are Piedmont Urgent Care by Wellstreet and a Piedmont primary care office. Piedmont Urgent Care will occupy a 6,163-square-foot space and will provide convenient illness and injury treatment for children and adults. The Piedmont primary care location will span 4,967 square feet, providing access to Piedmont’s top physicians and specialists for family medicine, internal medicine and pediatric services. Additional space remains to be leased at Summerhill Station.

“Piedmont is a leading healthcare system in Atlanta, and we are pleased to provide the Summerhill community with the highest quality medical service provider available,” said Branch Partner Brett Horowitz. “As we continue to enlist new tenants, we are seeking retail, dining and service options that will resonate with the neighborhood. We have enjoyed working alongside Carter to bring new life to this iconic Atlanta community and look forward to the completion of Summerhill Station next year.”

Summerhill Station comes as part of the 80-acre project led by Carter in partnership with K. King & Co. and Healey Weatherholtz Properties to redevelop and revitalize the historic Summerhill neighborhood into a mixed-use community. The redevelopment encompasses retail, dining, housing, office and essential services within a 19-block area, next to the newly built athletic facilities for Georgia State University. The shopping center will be located along Hank Aaron Drive and will feature a two-level parking deck, allowing for direct access to both levels of retail.

In addition to Summerhill Station, Branch is also overseeing the development of six other Publix-anchored shopping centers across the Southeast, including Perimeter Marketplace in Dunwoody, Ga.; Hugh Howell Marketplace in Tucker, Ga.; Merganser Commons at Dogwood Estates in Milton, Fla.; Wynnehaven Plaza in Navarre, Fla.; The Market at Hays Farm in Huntsville, Ala.; and Moncks Corner Marketplace in Moncks Corner, SC..
