Tuesday, January 15th, 2019
Selig Enterprises, one of the largest real estate companies in the Southeast, announced that an R&D brewery and tap room by Scofflaw Brewing Co. founders Matt Shirah and Travis Herman and a food hall by Robert Montwaid will join The Works, an 80-acre adaptive mixed-use development in Atlanta’s burgeoning Upper Westside.
Both Scofflaw’s and Montwaid’s teams are best-in-class innovators in their industries. Scofflaw Brewing, one of the fastest growing breweries in history, is now finishing its fourth expansion in two years at another Selig property on the Westside. Since its launch in 2016, Scofflaw has been named one of the best new breweries in America by BeerAdvocate, RateBeer, USA Today, Craft Beer & Brewing and others.
Robert Montwaid, of Gansevoort Consulting, is best known for co-founding Gansevoort Market next to Chelsea Market in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. The long-established food hall has been in business for five years and is consistently ranked among the country’s best food halls. Montwaid launched Gansevoort Consulting to pursue his distinctive vision for the food hall business. Today, Gansevoort Consulting is in design and construction of over 62,000 square feet of market space between Minneapolis and Chicago, with plans for additional expansion in Manhattan. Chattahoochee Food Works, the food hall at The Works, marks the firm’s first venture in Atlanta.
Mindy Selig, Vice President of Leasing at Selig Enterprises, leads retail leasing efforts for The Works. According to Selig, Montwaid and Scofflaw reflect the caliber of creative talent coming to the development.
“We are thoughtfully curating a retail mix that will reimagine these beautiful spaces and continue the area’s rich history of celebrating makers, artisans and entrepreneurs,” said Selig. “The brewers of Scofflaw and culinary expertise of Robert Montwaid complement our vision for the project, and we look forward to welcoming them to The Works.”
