A&P Lofts

The red brick and concrete exterior with glass brick fill is a fine example of a pure modernistic building, typical for its time, the interior has mushroom columns that decrease in circumference with every floor. Miller-Gallman Developers has converted the historic A & P Warehouse and Bakery at 881 Memorial Drive into 60 loft apartments. Located at the convergence of Grant Park, Reynoldstown and Cabbagetown, it is convenient to Interstate 20 and downtown Atlanta. The A & P Warehouse and Bakery building was completed in 1930. A & P then moved their southeastern operations there where they remained until 1963. The bakery remained in operation at this location until 1976 where the smell of fresh baked bread permeated the building and the area. The red brick and concrete exterior with glass brick fill is a fine example of a pure modernistic building, typical for its time, the interior has mushroom columns that decrease in circumference with every floor. Because the building has no unnecessary adornment it has a very clean, streamlined look. The roof is flat and a large rooftop observation area has been added that provides an unobstructed view of the Atlanta skyline. One of the penthouse units (loft #319) has a private rooftop deck and a number of other units have private patios. These units range in size from 800 to nearly 2000 square feet. The A & P Lofts building, which is on the Georgia Register of Historic Places and has been voted and approved for local Landmark Designation, was constructed in 1930 by the Flagler Company for use by the Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company (A&P grocery). For the next 46 years, the building served as a base for A & P's southeastern operations, as well as its regional bakery that operated until 1976, permeating the neighborhood with the smell of fresh baked bread. In 2001, Miller-Gallman purchased the building and converted it to loft apartments, and subsequently to loft condominiums. The red brick and concrete exterior with glass brick fill is a fine example of a pure modernistic building, typical for its time, the interior has mushroom columns that decrease in circumference with every floor. The roof is flat and a large rooftop observation and vegetated area has recently been added (2007) that provides an unobstructed view of the Atlanta skyline.
