Perimeter Pointe: $29.144M acquisition financing secured for retail center in Atlanta's Central Perimeter

ATLANTA, Jan. 26, 2026 –  JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has secured a $29.144 million acquisition financing for Perimeter Pointe, a 360,017-square-foot retail center in Sandy Springs, Georgia.

JLL represented the borrower, The Ardent Companies, in arranging the two-year, floating-rate loan through Ameris Bank.

Perimeter Pointe, located at 1155 Mount Vernon Hwy., occupies a prominent site at the intersection of Mount Vernon Highway, Perimeter Center West and Abernathy Road, just east of the Georgia 400 interchange. The property benefits from strong traffic counts, with Georgia 400 generating 204,000 average daily traffic within 0.8 miles and Abernathy Road generating 62,900 average daily traffic within 0.2 miles of the property.

Sandy Springs serves as an economic leader in the Atlanta metropolitan area, leading Fulton County in projected job growth of nearly 45.2% over the next 10 years. The city has maintained an unemployment level of less than 3.5% over the past decade and is home to major corporations including Mercedes-Benz USA, Newell Brands, Cox Communications and State Farm.

The retail center, built in 1995, features anchor tenants including LA Fitness, Regal Cinemas, Office Depot, Dick's Sporting Goods and Chick-fil-A. The property is currently 57.9% leased, though this includes approximately 105,000 square feet of vacant space designated for demolition as part of a future development opportunity. Excluding the space set for demolition, the property is 81.8% leased.

JLL Capital Market’s Debt Advisory team representing the borrower was led by Managing Director John Davis, Director Hunter Goldberg, Vice President Kelsey Bawcombe and Analyst Streeter Simmons.

"This acquisition financing demonstrates the continued appeal of well-located retail assets in Atlanta's strongest submarkets," said Davis. "Perimeter Pointe's strategic location in the Central Perimeter submarket, combined with its stable tenant base and future development potential, made it an attractive investment opportunity."
