buckhead offers three major shopping destinations

IN 1959, THE BUSINESS OF RETAILING changed directions—not how the merchandise was designed or how it was priced, not even how it was displayed, but where it would meet the customer. Ed Noble, the investor from Oklahoma with considerable oil money, decided the community of Buckhead in Atlanta, Georgia, would be his testing-ground for significant suburban shopping. His retail research of savvy statistical data and his sophisticated salesmanship convinced Dick Rich, president of what was then the South’s major downtown retail store—Rich’s—to open his first suburban operation in Buckhead at Noble’s Lenox Square. This key retail anchor ensured the success of the major shopping mall, which Simon Properties now owns, along with Phipps Plaza, a separate and expansive mall diagonally across the street. With the eventual closing of Rich’s downtown store and subsequently Macy’s major store—also from downtown—this type of merchandising was forever changed in Atlanta. Now add to this our newest mixed-use destination for retail called Buckhead Village District, an extensive pedestrian-welcoming development at Peachtree and East Paces Ferry roads, purchased in 2019 by Jamestown. There is no mystery why our hotels, restaurants, and gas stations do big volumes on weekends, as this is a drive destination where it is estimated 40 percent of the patronage comes from more than 100 miles away. Referencing its 28 square miles, Buckhead brags of having over 1,500 retail stores. There is no questioning its claim to being “the retail mecca of the Southeast.”

buckhead reaches out to entrepreneurs/incubators

AN EARLIER EDITION of the Buckhead Guidebook extended a welcoming hand of applause to its budding niche of incubators and entrepreneurs. Yes, this community of 45 neighborhoods of 100,000+ residents calls attention to the newest player in all things tech: Buckhead! Organizations like the Buckhead Coalition are forever massaging its brand, and now it can step forward to claim a growing share of what’s new—and isn’t even yet on the drawing board—in high tech. Not satisfied being the retail mecca of the Southeast, the dining room of our state, the nightclub of the region, and the art gallery of the city, Buckhead offers the opportunity to newcomers to express new ideas and envelope-pushing possibilities. With Atlanta Tech Village and similar nearby developments, there are paperless business models where space is rented by the human foot, not the square foot. It makes sense, doesn’t it, that the more people, the greater the demand for business space? Here, with the wider boulevards and cooling tree canopy, the overall quality of life continues to hold wide appeal and sustains Buckhead’s growth. As businesses innovate and expand, relocate, and start anew, developers in the industry are addressing the need to house the labor market, which we see happening with new apartments, new and innovative office space, funky new hotels, and pop-up shops— something for everyone, as we in Buckhead like to say.
