What Lee + White does

Lee + White is a privately held mixed-use real estate development located at 929 Lee Street SW in Atlanta's historic West End neighborhood, situated on 23 acres directly along the Atlanta BeltLine's Westside Trail. The property encompasses 11 historic brick warehouse buildings totaling approximately 440,000 square feet of creative mixed-use space, redeveloped under the adaptive reuse philosophy from the former 'Warehouse Row' into a destination combining food and beverage production, dining, retail, creative loft offices, and community-serving uses. The development is jointly owned and managed by Ackerman & Co. and MDH Partners, with Ackerman & Co. handling leasing and property management operations.

The company's product offering comprises three core asset types: a food hall with planned capacity of 19 restaurant stalls operating seven days a week, creative loft office suites, and ground-floor retail spaces. Tenant mix is intentionally diversified across breweries and distilleries (Monday Night Brewing, Wild Heaven Beer, ASW Distillery, Golda Kombucha), restaurants (gusto!, Vietvana Vietnamese, Good Azz Burgers), healthcare providers (Grady Health System outpatient centers), education (KIPP Public Charter Schools), renewable energy (JTEC Energy), and consumer brands (Triumph Motorcycles). Go-to-market is conducted through direct leasing managed by Ackerman & Co. and partner brokerages (Partnes Real Estate for office), supported by a website with leasing inquiry forms and active social media presence under the #WestEndBestEndATL hashtag.

Revenue is generated through recurring commercial real estate leases on retail spaces, food hall stalls, and creative loft offices. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and lease terms are negotiated individually based on space type and tenant requirements. Marketing is primarily organic, leveraging BeltLine foot traffic, earned media coverage in outlets such as Eater Atlanta and Atlanta Business Chronicle, and word-of-mouth within Atlanta's food and beverage community. Parking operations are outsourced to Refined Parking. The company has no disclosed AI capabilities, software products, or technology platform; the underlying 'technology' is the physical adaptive reuse of historic warehouse stock into a curated mixed-use campus.
