CREW : Commercial Real Estate Women of Atlanta

30 Years of CREW Atlanta featured in the Atlanta Business Chronicle

Pamela Little — Sat, 05 May 2012 19:17:49 +0000

If you haven’t done so already, pick up the latest edition of the Atlanta Business Chronicle (May 4 -10 edition) to read about the amazing success of CREW Atlanta. Nine articles give details on the business networking, professional development, and personal growth opportunities that CREW Atlanta provides its members. Stories highlight the leadership, mentoring, internship, and scholarship programs as well as contributions of the current and past CREW Atlanta presidents. The commitment of CREW Atlanta to donate to charitable causes (over $1 million) in support of women and girls is also a large part of the organization. Current members most likely already know that we belong to a very special group and now the rest of Atlanta can read what they have been missing out on.

30th Anniversary CREW Gala a Success!

Pamela Little — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 20:50:31 +0000

Over 300 people attended the 30th Anniversary CREW Gala at the Cobb Energy Center last night and it was an event to be remembered. CREW members and their guests were dressed up and ready to enjoy a party! Guests entered the venue on a red carpet laid out for all our local commercial real estate celebrities. Lisa Borders, former President of the Atlanta City Council, and current President of Grady Health Foundation emceed the program before Yacht Rock Revue took the stage and played 1970’s hits for dancing. The silent auction had something for everyone with over 100 items up for bid ranging from wine baskets to UGA coolers to vacation rentals and a Delta flight simulator experience. Business networking and mingling were encouraged in addition to the bidding, dancing and eating. Guests danced and enjoyed the party until the very end and are likely already looking forward to the 35th anniversary celebration!

Ponce City Market BTS Tour Stirs up Old Memories and Inspires Dreams of the Future

Pamela Little — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 15:33:42 +0000

CREW Atlanta members enjoyed a behind-the-scenes tour of the Ponce City Market yesterday. The tour was a rare opportunity to see the active renovation on the former Sears catalog and retail center turned Atlanta City Hall East building as it undergoes its transformation to Ponce City Market.

Jamestown Properties, owner and developer of the adaptive reuse project, hosted the tour for 50 CREW members. Members used a freight elevator still powered on the electrical system installed in the 20’s to reach the rooftop where they could see views of the city and of the Old Fourth Ward Park. They also walked on the original hardwood floors installed by Sears in the shelving and retail areas. CREW Member Kathy Marko, with the Brickman Group, remembered her days as a teenager working in the Sears facility adding personal insights into one group’s tour.

Other highlights included seeing the railway spur where the project will be connected to the Beltline, carefully walking through the electrical room where the original 1920’s panels are still in use, and a short visit to the floor where the Atlanta Police Department used to conduct interrogations.

The future of this landmark building on Ponce is definitely looking bright. Once renovation is complete, the project is planned for retail, office, and residential uses. The building as it stands today is approximately 2,000,000 sf and the interior space will be reduced to just over 1,000,000 sf to accommodate additional parking and green space. The oldest portions of the building are going to remain intact in keeping with preservation efforts. Rooftop attractions are also planned to bring back some of the historical feel of Ponce de Leon Avenue.
