Atlanta (March 7, 2025) — SSG Realty Partners LLC (SSG) has hired Kelly Wilson as Director of the Firm’s Retail Properties Group and Regional Partner for both SSG and its parent, Artisan Land Companies, LLC. In this role, Wilson will be responsible for negotiating the acquisition and disposition of significant retail and strategic development sites across Georgia and the Southeastern United States and representing landlords and tenants in retail leasing and sales transactions.

The scion of former three-term Georgia Gov. Eugene Talmadge and Sen. Herman Talmadge has sold a significant portion of the family's Clayton County estate to make way for a new housing development.

Rockhaven Homes purchased 400 acres of Still Water Estate, a 900-acre wooded site surrounding the J.W. Smith County Reservoir, for $8.2M, SSG Realty Partners CEO David Branch told Bisnow. 

Another large piece of property could join the wave of potentially transformative development projects slated for downtown Atlanta.

A former 10.1-acre distribution center for Gourmet Foods International along Ted Turner Drive and Whitehall Street was placed on the market by Atlanta-based SSG Realty Partners, which is advertising the property on behalf of its ownership group as a prime mixed-use redevelopment opportunity. A previous attempt to redevelop the site fizzled out last year, and the property's previous owner took it back in foreclosure.

SSG Realty Partners LLC, an Atlanta-based land investment firm, has listed a 10-acre prime redevelopment site at the intersection of Ted Turner Drive and Whitehall Street in South Downtown Atlanta. The property, formerly the distribution center for Gourmet Foods International (GFI), is positioned as a major mixed-use development opportunity.
