The Shopping Center Group Signs Two Tenants at Mixed-Use Project Along Atlanta BeltLine

The Shopping Center Group has signed Rina’s Kitchen and Ponce Dental Group to 10-year leases within Ford Factory Lofts in Atlanta.

ATLANTA — The Shopping Center Group has signed two tenants to join the renovated Ford Factory Lofts along the Atlanta BeltLine’s Eastside Trail. The addition of Rina’s Kitchen and Ponce Dental Group brings the project’s occupancy rate to 70 percent. Ford Factory Lofts is on the street and trail side of the BeltLine and adjacent to the Kroger redevelopment. Rina’s Kitchen signed a 10-year lease for 2,425 square feet of space facing the BeltLine. The restaurant will serve Israeli street food. Ponce Dental Group also signed a 10-year lease for 3,300 square feet of space facing the new Kroger. Construction has begun on both spaces. Other tenants at Ford Factory Lofts include Xfinity, Chin Chin, Carriage Cleaners and Heavenly Foot Massage. Originally built by the Ford Motor Co. in 1914, the four-story building along Ponce de Leon Avenue was once home to one of the earliest automotive assembly plants in the Southeast, building classic cars such as the Ford Model T.  The 150,000-square-foot building was later used by the U.S. Army Department of Defense before its conversion into residential lofts in 1987.
