Atlanta Decorative Arts Center (ADAC) Unveils Additions and Expansions to the Center
ADAC UNVEILS Q1 ADDITIONS AND EXPANSIONS, DESIGN CENTER THRIVING AT 90% OCCUPANCY
New Showrooms Include Milieu and French Market Collection
ATLANTA: Continually committed to serving the design industry with fresh offerings, Atlanta Decorative Arts Center (ADAC) is starting the year off strong by bringing on two new showrooms and three current tenant expansions set to open this spring. Milieu and French Market Collection join the roster at the Southeast’s preeminent design destination which is maintaining 90% leased, a high number when considering businesses are still defining retail and office space requirements post-pandemic.
In addition to the two new showrooms, several of ADAC’s existing tenants have recently experienced exponential growth, resulting in the need to expand current space to better accommodate clientele and display an additional range of products and services. Current expansions include C + H Interiors increasing its current showroom to an impressive 4,500 square feet including a fine art gallery, Made Goods showroom expanding to 8,900 square feet including a recently launched collection of vanities, and Susan Currie Design expanding its studio to a chic 750 square feet.
“We are overjoyed to welcome two extraordinary new showrooms, adding a fresh wave of products and services to our community,” says Katie Miner, General Manager, ADAC. “The expansion of existing showrooms and design offices is a testament to our commitment to providing an unparalleled platform for phenomenal businesses in the industry. At ADAC, our goal is to ensure our partners’ creative and functional needs are not just met but surpassed.”
