**Edens Expands Buckhead Portfolio with Purchase of Pearson’s Corner**
Edens, a leading retail real estate owner and developer, has expanded its footprint in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood with the acquisition of Pearson’s Corner. The property was purchased for $8.7 million, equating to approximately $580 per square foot.
Located at 3072 Early Street NW, Pearson’s Corner is directly adjacent to two other Buckhead properties Edens acquired in 2012 for a combined $40 million. Those properties, situated along West Paces Ferry Road, are home to key tenants including Whole Foods, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, and Velvet Taco.
This latest acquisition marks a significant expansion for Edens, giving the company control over a contiguous block and reinforcing its investment strategy in walkable, mixed-use developments. Pearson’s Corner occupies less than half an acre and includes approximately 15,000 square feet of space. Of that, 8,000 square feet on the second floor is currently leased to Embark Behavioral Health.
The property was sold by The Loudermilk Companies, which had owned it since 2013. Originally built in 1975, the building underwent renovations in 2015, bringing it up to modern standards and improving its appeal for commercial tenants.
With this addition, Edens continues to solidify its presence in Atlanta’s upscale Buckhead district, capitalizing on strong demand and tenant interest in the area.
