Kroger announced for controversial Glenwood development

By Collin Kelley INtown Editor

Homeowners’ fears of a Walmart store being built along Glenwood Avenue near the Glenwood Park project have been quelled after it was announced that a Kroger supermarket will become the anchor tenant in a new development.

The rumor that a Walmart would open along the Atlanta BeltLine at the mixed-use center from Fuqua Development has persisted for several years, but was never confirmed or denied until now.

Developer Jeff Fuqua told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he had been negotiating with Walmart, but the big-box retailer had decided to pursue other locations. Fuqua said they were “very close” to an agreement with the Kroger Corporation to serve as the anchor tenant for the Glenwood project.

In May, it was announced that the Glenwood Avenue project would provide senior housing, a nine-story office building, a five-story residential building with ground floor retail and a lot for food trucks.

The big-box retail store would be hidden from Glenwood Avenue by the residential and street front retail. The property, currently the site of a concrete plant is near the intersection of Glenwood Avenue and Bill Kennedy Way.

The compromise should spell the end of a lawsuit filed by Fuqua and the property owner after the Atlanta City Council voted last year to retroactively rezone the property to prevent a bigbox retail store from being built on the site.
