| An Atlanta real estate family that traces its lineage to the mid-1800s is still full of life. Quill Healey II, whose family history includes landmark properties such as the Healey Building and William-Oliver Building downtown, continues to grow his budding retail empire. | |
| Yesterday we snapped this of Quill?s latest addition, an incredibly busy stretch of Howell Mill Road in Buckhead that's home to a popular Willy?s Mexican Grill, a post office, and one of Atlanta's longest-standing McDonald?s. Quill and partner Eric Weatherholtz, principals of Healey Weatherholtz Properties, acquired the 5-acre site for $5.7M. Rob Jordan of Jordan Co. repped Healey Weatherholtz. Novare Group, which originally assembled the site, had planned a major mixed-use project, but the recession thwarted that. Healey Weatherholtz now dominates the 1900 block of Howell Mill, where it also owns the Howell Mill Shops across the street. | |
| Early this morning, we snapped the Shops Around Lenox, which Healey Weatherholtz bought last summer and is updating. The high-profile strip center sits directly across from Lenox Square, and Healey Weatherholtz is aggressively going after independent restaurants and cool boutiques, like Birmingham-based Swank, which opened this year. Part of the transformation is about turning the center?s big box location, a former CompUSA, into a hipper space. | |
