Peachtree Corners, Georgia: North American Properties and TIAA’s Nuveen Real Estate acquired The Forum on Peachtree Parkway.

NAP proposes to expand the public realm, enhance the common areas and remerchandise the tenant mix. “Although there is some vacancy at The Forum, we see so much potential to bolster the existing program with more food-and-beverage offerings, up-and-coming and digitally native brands and higher-end services,” said NAP partner and senior vice president of leasing Adam Schwegman. “Any tenant seeking to effectively cover the North Atlanta suburbs can do so by locating at Avalon, Avenue East Cobb or The Forum; all of which are now in our portfolio. We look forward to reimagining The Forum.”
