Ponce City Market

Ponce City Market is not just a massive historical renovation; it is the largest adaptive re-use project in Atlanta’s history. It will be a mixed use development of approximately 2.1 million gross square feet under roof. It will include 330,000 square feet of retail and restaurants, 475,000 square feet of office space, and 259 residential flats. And it will be located on the Atlanta Belt Line, a multi-billion dollar rail project designed to connect the city’s in-town neighborhoods utilizing an existing 22 mile railroad track that generally encircles the city of Atlanta. Once complete, Jamestown plans to have Ponce City Market added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Atlanta’s Newest Destination

Ponce City Market was destined to be an extraordinary project from the beginning.

Modern Day Ponce City MarketFirst there is the historic Sears & Roebuck building which first opened for business in 1926, with a location on Ponce de Leon in perfect proximity to attract residents from Atlanta’s urban neighborhoods, such as Virginia Highlands, Inman Park and Mid-town. There is the mammoth 2.1 million gross square foot under roof that was available at the start of the project. Plus the coming Atlanta Belt Line would certainly help make the completed project a local destination. And then there’s the developer, Jamestown Development and Construction (JDC), an expert at environmentally-sensitive land development which includes “walkable” street designs, and a focus on green construction practices and operations.

 

 

NTI Scope of Services
Historic Sears & Roebuck Building 1928NTI (Network Technologies, Inc.), was hired as technology consultants for the project, responsible for designing the ITS cabling infrastructure, access control, and CCTV throughout the facility. Within the space, there were different architects working on the various areas such as the Jamestown new corporate office, the Food Hall with over two dozen places to eat, the office space and the residential flats.  There is also a rather robust parking area which was within the NTI scope.

Robert Coggins, NTI’s Project Manager for the project, described NTI’s task this way. “The reality is that while it is a single project, in many ways it is like working on many interconnected projects. There are multiple GCs, multiple architects, and a lot of unique areas each with specific technology needs. Coordination among everyone involved is critical, and there are a lot of people involved.”

NTI began working on the technology design in 2012 and finished with the construction administration in 2016, over a year after Ponce City Market opened for business.

ADDITIONAL MIXED-USE PROFILES

CITY CENTER LEXINGTON

City Center in Lexington, Kentucky opened in January of this year, 2020. It is a mixed-use development that cost approximately $220 million to finish over the course of 11 years. It includes a dual-brand hotel (Marriott & Residence Inn) which has 337 guestrooms combined, 75 apartments on top of an office tower that includes below-grade parking. The City Center also includes approximately 7,000 square feet of retail. The entire development area totals over 400,000 gross square feet.

 

The City Center Marriott has so much to offer such as the Greatroom and the M Club lounge. The Greatroom is located on the main floor and includes a restaurant, bar, outdoor seating, and a 3-meal display kitchen. The M Club is a private lounge for Elite members that includes a restaurant, bar, wine dispenser, and more! The City Center Marriott also includes a ballroom that can hold over 300 people and overlooks the courtyard at the center of City Center

 

The Residence Inn also has cool amenities such as The Infinity Skybar and Cafe which is located on the rooftop. Infinity has glass walls and includes a roof the can retract when the weather is warm enough. Another cool factor is that there is a glassed-in walkway that connects to and from the rooftop pool so guests can pass through without having to go in the Cafe.

 

NTI Scope of Services

Data/Voice & Special Systems Cabling Design

We designed Data/Voice cabling infrastructure systems including horizontal and vertical cabling, cabling pathways, cable management and IDF, MDF and Equipment Room closet layouts and all outlet details. The cabling system will support voice and data (POS, PMS, Admin LAN, wireless and hardwired Internet access) services. We showed conduit and back box requirements for coordination and ultimate incorporation into the MEP documents.

MATV/CATV Cabling System Design

We coordinated with the television service vendor and Architect to identify all cabling, junction boxes, TV locations, splitters, taps and amplifiers as necessary to provide a complete distribution system to support the MATV/CATV system. We also provided layout details for the new head end room and a performance specification for the MATV distribution system. Using the performance specification, the cabling vendor had the necessary information to design, install and test/certify the new MATV infrastructure (including all amplifiers, taps and terminations) in accordance with the equipment vendor requirements.

Security Systems Design

We designed and incorporate the client’s recommendations, designs and/or concepts for all Security systems devices for the Hotel to include closed circuit security cameras, security monitors, duress alarms, door contact alarms, alarm control panel, keypads and motion detectors. We incorporated the owner and/or operator device locations in our drawing set as part of the Construction Documents only after a thorough review and final sign-off of those locations has been completed and approved in writing by the owner and operator.

AV Systems Design

For the meeting rooms and background music areas, we designed and produced construction documents and specifications the AV systems requirements in accordance with brand standards and/or client direction. Our AV systems design addressed all components related to delivering audio/visual content to all Brand standards required public access areas (primarily background music). Our construction documents and accompanying performance specifications addressed all speakers, cabling, AV wall plates, input sources, amplifiers, junction boxes, conduit, infrastructure for meeting rooms. We coordinated with the owner’s AV group to include any infrastructure information as needed, for the F&B areas into our set.

 

NTI began working on the technology design in 2016 and finished with the construction administration in 2018.
