Friday, May 15th, 2026
JLL today announced 70,000 square feet of new leases at Westside Paper, the 15-acre adaptive reuse and mixed-use development fronting the Atlanta Beltline’s Westside Spur. The latest office and retail momentum brings the project to 75% leased. JLL Executive Vice President David Horne and Senior Vice President Caroline Fisher handle marketing and leasing for the project’s office component on behalf of the owners, FCP® and Westbridge.
The recent office activity includes a 33,000-square-foot lease with Packsize, a global leader in sustainable packaging automation; a 23,000-square-foot office space with Construction Resources, which is adding to its existing 50,000-square-foot showroom; and approximately 10,000 square feet with Disguise, an award-winning technology company powering major live experiences worldwide.
“Westside Paper has seen significant office leasing momentum over the past six months,” said JLL’s Horne. “We are seeing more and more companies recognize the value of working in an engaging mixed-use environment that prioritizes connectivity, amenities and a holistic tenant experience.”
Located at 950 W Marietta Street, Westside Paper is a 70-year-old former paper plant that has been transformed into a large-scale adaptive reuse project. The office component spans 160,000 square feet and features flexible, collaborative spaces, large windows, exposed brick walls and tenant-exclusive outdoor meeting areas. The property is on the Atlanta Beltline Westside Paper Spur and in close proximity to the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Midtown business district, making it an optimal location for the next-generation workforce.
“Our vision for Westside Paper has always been to create a destination that blends workplace, culture and community,” said Chris Faussemagne, Managing Partner for Westbridge. “The continued leasing activity across both office and retail is a testament to the market demand for thoughtfully designed, mixed-use environments.
Westside Paper’s highly curated retail experience includes Ancestral Bottle Shop & Market, El Santo Gallo, Pancake Social, King of Pops, Dumpling Factory, Padel Haus, Carbon Performance and The Dogwood. The mixed-use destination is centrally located in the burgeoning hub of West Midtown, offering exceptional access to shopping, dining, art and entertainment. Its extensive infrastructure includes access to 5,713 acres of surrounding trails and parks. Just eight minutes from I-75 and ten minutes from Midtown and Downtown, the property also provides easy access to Buckhead through back routes, helping residents and visitors bypass traffic.
According to JLL research, lifestyle office environments like Westside Paper continue to perform well in today’s environment. Mixed-use destinations consistently report lower vacancy rates and have seen more than 33 million square feet of positive net absorption since 2020, even as the overall office market has contracted. Additionally, lifestyle office space can command a rent premium of up to 32%, further illustrating the demand for premier office workplaces that offer walkability and best-in-class retail.
