Atlanta Market Overview and Trends Analysis
ATLANTA MARKET OVERVIEW AND TRENDS ANALYSIS SEPTEMBER 2017 BUCKHEAD ECONOMIC DRIVERS With more than 21.7 million square feet of office space (16.8 million SF of which is class A), the Buckhead office market is Atlanta’s third largest business district (behind Perimeter and Downtown/Midtown), commanding the highest rents of all major metro CBDs in greater Atlanta, with an average quoted office rent of $33.18 PSF overall, and as high as $54 PSF in the premier office towers. The northernmost section of Buckhead (roughly the Peachtree Road corridor north of Piedmont Road and south of Peachtree Dunwoody Road), is considered Atlanta’s financial corridor, where most money management firms house their regional southeast offices. At the heart of northern Buckhead around the intersections of Lenox, Peachtree and Piedmont Roads, is Atlanta’s premier shopping district, with 1 more than 1,500 retail units - where shoppers spend more than $2.6 billion a year. • In addition, Buckhead contains the highest concentration of upscale boutiques in the United States. The majority are located at Lenox Square (caption 1) and Phipps Plaza (caption 2), sister regional malls located diagonally across from each other at the intersection of Peachtree and Lenox Roads. The malls are home to designer boutiques, mainstream national retailers, as well as six major department stores. • In 2014, the ‘Buckhead Atlanta’ (caption 3) mixed-use development, located in central Buckhead, delivered an additional 300,000 square feet of retail and restaurants and 100,000 square feet of boutique offices. Oliver McMillan has planned an additional office tower (The Office at Buckhead Atlanta), which will add 315,000 SF to the greater Buckhead Atlanta development.

Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom visits Selma2 Published 10:32 pm Thursday, April 26, 2018 By Adam Dodson | The Selma Times-Journal A Muslim and Jewish women’s group, known as the Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom, visited Selma on Tuesday for a tour of the city and to look for guidance of how to peacefully protest the marginalization of their identities. A city known as a catalyst for the voting rights movement, Selma is frequented by people from out of town who want to pay their respects to those who stood up for what they believe in. 1 https://www.thoughtco.com/how-to-write-a-news-article-1857250 2 https://www.selmatimesjournal.com/2018/04/26/sisterhood-of-salaam-shalom-visits-selma/ The stop in Selma is part of their tour of the south, visiting other civil rights locations in Atlanta, Memphis, Montgomery and Birmingham as well. The tour stems from their belief that modern day society still labels stereotypes and attempts to marginalize their two religions.

ABBC 2016 Annual Report
IMPACT FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE ANNUAL REPORT 2016 ATLANTA BETTER BUILDINGS CHALLENGE One of my proudest accomplishments as Mayor of Atlanta is the tremendous success achieved through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge (ABBC). The Office of Resilience has partnered with businesses and nonprofit organizations to implement a comprehensive, voluntary program to increase energy and water efficiency in our building stock. The Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge invites participating building owners to commit to a 20 percent reduction in energy and water use by year 2020. With more than 114 million square feet of building space and more than 600 buildings pledged, Atlanta has earned its spot as a leader on the efficiency scoreboard. Since 2011, this successful public-private partnership between the City of Atlanta, Central Atlanta Progress, Livable Buckhead, Midtown Alliance and Southface has positioned Atlanta as a national leader in energy and water efficiency. We surpassed our water reduction goal five years ahead of schedule, and we’re quickly closing the gap on our energy goal, having already reduced our portfolio’s energy consumption by 17 percent. Through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge, participants are saving money on bills now, while helping to ensure a more resilient future for all Atlantans. This program plays a pivotal role in furthering Atlanta as a top-tier city for sustainability. We hope to inspire other cities by our achievements and lead by example as we continue to make big strides in reducing our energy and water usage. Thanks to our participants in the Challenge. Sincerely, Mayor Kasim Reed INTRODUCTION | 03 IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR BUILDINGS 20 PERCENT BY 2020 The goal of the Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Resource conservation efforts not only support the City’s Challenge is to improve the efficiency of commercial, sustainability efforts and lead to a cleaner and healthier institutional, industrial, and multifamily buildings by 20% or place to live and work, but the dollar savings achieved more by 2020.

The 2013 MCHR Freedom Tour
“Freedom has always been an expensive thing. History is fit testimony to the fact that freedom is rarely gained without sacrifice and self-denial.” The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The 2013 MCHR Freedom Tour On June 16, 2013, the Michigan Coalition for Human Rights’ 2013 Freedom Tour commenced its two week journey into the southern states of our nation with a diverse group of high school students to learn about the price that people in our country paid for equality. The tour was dedicated in loving memory of one of MCHR’s founders, Bishop H. Coleman McGehee, Jr. The students were selected after submitting essays about why they wanted to go on the trip and being personally interviewed by the adult mentors. Ultimately, there were 34 students and 13 adult mentors selected to go on the trip. The students came primarily from Detroit area high schools ( Mercy, U of D, Cass Tech, Dakota, Renaissance, Cody, Southfield Lathrup, Ferndale, Cesar Chavez, Chandler Park, Redford Union, Loyola, Grosse Pointe North, Detroit Aerospace, Spain Middle School, home schooled). We also had 6 students on the tour from the Suttons Bay/Traverse City area. The students ranged in age from 14 to 18. The mentors included teachers, a nurse, civil rights attorneys, and social activists. Organizational and fundraising efforts for the tour started approximately a year beforehand. MCHR raised over $100,000 through its Annual Dinner and Freedom Tour fundraising efforts and, as a result, was able to fund the tour 100% without placing a financial strain on the organization. The adult mentors provided educational programming about the civil rights movement along with Nonviolence training to the students in the months leading up to the tour.
