New Black Wall Street Market (Tate + Hanse)

STONECREST, Ga. — A new Black Wall Street is coming to Atlanta.

The New Black Wall Street Market, which officially opens in Stonecrest in September, is a unique marketplace similar to Ponce City Market, with shops, restaurants and entertainment. The planned venue will focus on helping minority and women-owned businesses.

“The purpose of the market is to cultivate relationships with business owners in the Atlanta area, provide entrepreneurial training to enhance skills, offer a community for small businesses, and assist with the transition of online stores to brick-and-mortar,” officials said.


The market will feature a food court, retail stores, a jazz club, gallery space, a grocery store, event and meeting space, a bakery and a restaurant.

The project was inspired by the original Black Wall Street, which was destroyed during the Tulsa Race Massacre in 1921.

Fittingly, organizers are hosting a kick-off event this weekend, on the 100-year anniversary of the massacre. The outdoor festival and dedication of the venue is at 8109 Mall Parkway on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. - 7p.m.

The New Black Wall Street Market was developed by the Allen Entrepreneurial Institute, an entrepreneurial ecosystem that fosters the development of stronger entrepreneurs and sustainable businesses.

Hope it works but Stonecrest been racking up L's ever since they formed. Just a textbook tale of how selecting the wrong leadership can undo even the best of intentions. That area has alot of potential

I ain't happy about the leadership either but the Cacs don't want Stonecrest to succeed. If it did, there be no reason to go to Lenox, Perimeter, or Cumberland.

That was a half-ass Target that didn't sell shortening in 2006. everybody ain't lucky enough to form their city besides the world's busiest airport.

I was mainly directing that to the mayor of Stonecrest. My uncle is a resident of that area and he opposed dude from the get go.
