Ponce City Market’s Georgia-Sourced Mass Timber Building Tops Out

619 Ponce, a four-story mass timber office building at Atlanta’s Ponce City Market has topped out. It includes 87,000 square feet of office space and 27,000 square feet of retail space.

The columns, beams, and floor slabs are Southern yellow pine harvested from Georgia forests, including some from timberland owned by project developer Jamestown near Columbus, GA.

The sawtimber was converted to lumber at Georgia-Pacific’s sawmill in Albany, GA. The lumber was transported to SmartLam’s mass timber plant in Dothan, AL, and manufactured into cross laminated timber panels. The CLT panels were erected on site by StructureCraft and JE Dunn. It’s the first in Georgia to use Georgia-grown timber and a regional supply chain.

“It’s a great example of how true architectural and structural design collaboration, along with engaging local timber suppliers, can lead to a highly creative and efficient mass timber design,” said Structural Engineering Director Leif Johnson of StructureCraft.
