Winter Properties renovated this property, which dates back to the early 1900s, in 1990. It is located just minutes from Midtown and downtown Atlanta. The office lofts are the anchor for development in this area currently known as the Means Street District and are located one block west of the Georgia Institute of Technology’s campus.

Skeptics existed at the beginning of this project, but Winter held to its vision of transforming a “dead” area of town into a thriving community. The vision is now a reality and the success of the project is evident in the long tenant waiting list.

The loft offices at Carriage Works have large open floor plans that meet the diverse needs of hi-tech companies. The building’s interior offers tenants a unique urban atmosphere, featuring 14 ft. ceilings, exposed red brick and heavy wood timbers throughout. The electrical and mechanical systems are all exposed. Large windows, approximately 4¢ X 6¢, are located throughout the building projecting a bright, airy feeling.

In May 1992, The Carriage Works received the Best Community Impact Award for renovation/rehabilitation. This award was given by Ernst & Young and the Atlanta Business Chronicle for Best Real Estate deals of 1991. The Carriage Works is listed on the National Register of Historic places.
