Sylvan Road near Atlanta's Airport
Some deals don’t come wrapped in a bow. They come in the form of overgrowth, rusted steel, and forgotten square footage.
Such was the case with 3107 Sylvan Road—a 55-acre former manufacturing site in East Point, Georgia, just minutes from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Once home to a bustling glass bottling facility, the property had sat vacant for years, with nearly 800,000 square feet of aging industrial space.
This was not a turnkey opportunity. But it was a site with potential—exceptional access to I-85, regional visibility, and the kind of scale rarely seen inside the perimeter.
A Strategic Challenge
When Pollock Commercial first engaged with the site, it wasn’t to broker it—it was to try and buy it ourselves. That’s how compelling the opportunity was, despite the complications.
Ultimately, we weren’t the buyer. But our involvement didn’t end there. Our team continued working the opportunity from a new angle, drawing on our network and insight to find the right path forward. Michael Dinerman led the charge, connecting the seller with a buyer who saw not just the land, but the vision.
More Than a Transaction
This was not a basic land sale. It was a case study in helping a stuck asset get unstuck. The site had size, location, and history—but needed clarity, creativity, and direction.
We helped shape a path forward that included clearing unsafe structures while honoring the legacy of the site. Now, the property is in the hands of a new owner with plans to reimagine it as a mixed-use destination—one with tech-forward ambition and space for both jobs and community.
Regional Impact
With its scale and proximity to the airport, the Sylvan Road property is more than just another transaction. It has the potential to become a major contributor to the continued evolution of Southside Atlanta—an area already experiencing a surge in corporate, residential, and civic investment.
The Pollock Approach
At Pollock Commercial, we’re not just dealmakers—we’re problem-solvers. We specialize in connecting the right players to the right sites, even when those sites are complex or overlooked.
This deal is a reminder of the value we bring: deep local knowledge, strategic matchmaking, and a calm, experienced presence in every stage of the process.
Because for us, real estate is about more than land. It’s about momentum.
