Took a turn around the being-constructed-as-I-type Krog Street Market in the Inman Park neighborhood this morning.... The renovation of this original circa 1920s factory warehouse (formerly owned by & served as movie mogul Tyler Perry's 12,000 square foot studio space) is slated for completion in early 2014. KSM is designed with an open loft like appeal, accommodating restaurant/retail space and with the addition of side-by-side "market stalls" offered in various square footage sizes (I'm envisioning something in feel to London's Harrods Food Hall or NYC's Grand Central Market). I've included below the current roundup of signed-on tenants, which are a nice mix of locally sourced food & retail purveyors, followed by the artist rendering of the completed look, an architectural drawing of the floor-plan, and my photos of the current site.
