JLL arranges financing for Upper West Market in Atlanta

• Robles Partners and an institutional capital partner secured a five-year loan to support the continued lease-up and stabilization of the newly delivered property.

• The financing positions Upper West Market, an adaptive reuse project located in Atlanta's Upper Westside, to build on strong early leasing momentum as it establishes itself as a community-focused destination featuring local food vendors, retail, office and event space.

ATLANTA, Nov. 5, 2026 – JLL Capital Markets announced today it has arranged financing for Upper West Market, an 87,616-square-foot mixed-use adaptive reuse project located at 1385 Collier Road in Atlanta. Upper West Market represents Atlanta's first community-focused retail destination celebrating local culinary and artisan commerce through an authentic farmers market experience.

JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, Robles Partners and an institutional capital partner, to secure a five-year, fixed-rate loan that consists of initial funding as well as future funding for tenant improvements and leasing costs.

Delivered in July 2026, Upper West Market transformed a former industrial facility into a curated mixed-use environment designed to celebrate local food culture, artisan commerce and community gathering. The property includes retail and market space, office space and dedicated event space. The project has attracted a diverse mix of food-and-beverage, fitness, wellness, office and event users.

The project is anchored by a large open-air marketplace featuring more than 30 vendor stalls dedicated to local farmers, artisans and specialty food purveyors. Additional tenants include restaurants, including the Michelin Bib Gourmand award winning Summerland, established fitness operator BODYROK, professional office space and an event venue. The property's adaptive reuse design preserves the character of the original structure while catering to growing consumer demand for experiential retail and mixed-use destinations.

Located less than two miles from Interstate 75, Upper West Market benefits from access to Buckhead, Midtown and West Midtown, three of Atlanta's most significant employment centers. The property also sits adjacent to the Woodall Rail Trail, which connects the Atlanta BeltLine and the Silver Comet Trail, further integrating the project into one of the region's most active pedestrian and cycling corridors. The surrounding area is characterized by affluent residential neighborhoods, ongoing mixed-use development and a highly educated consumer base that supports demand for premium dining, retail and lifestyle experiences.

The JLL Capital Markets team was led by Senior Managing Director Gregg Shapiro and Director Hunter Goldberg, along with Vice President Kelsey Bawcombe and Analyst Amelia O'Kieffe.

"Upper West Market represents a compelling opportunity in one of Atlanta's most dynamic transformation stories, where significant residential development has created demand for experiential retail in a submarket insulated by established wealth and education," Shapiro said. "With strong sponsorship and a distinctive adaptive reuse concept centered around local food, retail and community experiences, the property is well positioned to capitalize on growing consumer demand for authentic, locally focused destinations."
