Description
The City of Atlanta, on behalf of the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), will initiate a Competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) Process seeking a qualified commercial enterprise to develop and operate a food and beverage concept on the rooftop of the Grant Park Gateway Parking Facility. Interested vendors must demonstrate experience operating similar concepts, provide a strong concept and market fit for the Grant Park area, outline their approach to delivering the concept, and present a comprehensive business strategy, operational plan, and financial capability. The City¿s expectation is that the selected vendor will be responsible for designing, constructing, maintaining, operating, and managing the food and beverage concept. Prior to release of the formal RFP, the City of Atlanta will conduct a Pre-Solicitation Conference (PSC) in a roundtable discussion format to request information from potential suppliers. This session is intended to provide additional context, share preliminary details, and gather valuable industry insight that may inform the final solicitation. A formal notice of the PSC, including date, time, and location, will be issued shortly. We encourage all interested vendors to attend and participate.

PSC/RFI Roundtable Questions - Grant Park F&B
1. How would you characterize current retail/restaurant demand in the Grant Park/Southeast
Atlanta submarket compared to five years ago?
2. Do you see Grant Park Gateway competing most directly with Krog Street
Market/Reynoldstown, East Atlanta Village, or a different trade area entirely?
3. What are the current tenant improvements in the market for F&B space? 1st generation vs.
2nd or 3rd gen spaces?
4. Are tenants interested in the amount of build-out is needed? Is the customizable aspect of
the space attractive? Are there elements that the city could invest in to make the space more
attractive?
5. For the Grant Park Gateway space, what do you see as the biggest hurdle? Are there any red
flags in terms of visibility, parking, ingress/egress, ownership?
6. What lease rates, types, and terms are you seeing in the market? Has this shifted in the last
few years? If so, how?
7. Are you seeing profit sharing lease structures in the market?
8. Is the site's Beltline adjacency (0.4 miles) helpful for leasing or is it seen as discounted from
true Beltline retail?
9. What do you believe drove recent restaurant closures in Summerhill? Lease turnover? Over
saturation? Broader struggles in operating margins for F&B?
10. Are local/independent operators or regional chains more realistic first movers for this
location, and why?
11. Community input favors fast-casual - is this the highest and best use of the site?
12. Are there any unfavorable terms in the previous lease for the space?
13. How could lease structure support potential retail pop-ups? Is this a sublet situation?
14. We are hosting another stakeholder interview focused on operations. Who else should we be
talking to? Are there owners or operators with recent experience in this corridor?
