Floorplan tweaks and tenant signings are afoot at the next food hall project to neighbor the Atlanta BeltLine corridor.
Stafford Properties, developer of the adaptive-reuse Terminal South, announced this week it’s again expanding the number of food stalls planned in Peoplestown as more concepts come aboard.
Terminal South’s food hall, Switchman Hall, originally called for 11 stalls when the warehouse-conversion project was unveiled in late 2022. That was expanded to 14 stalls in May and now to 18 stalls, ranging from roughly 350 to 730 square feet, according to project officials.
Stafford says three tenants—Southern Grace (currently a food truck), Perfect Seasoning (a Jamaican concept with its first location at Selig’s The Works), and the next location of The Original Hot Dog Factory—have signed on to operate in Peoplestown.

Terminal South’s location is expected to be the final stop on MARTA’s first bus-rapid transit route—a 4.8-mile connection to downtown—while the Atlanta BeltLine’s Southside Trail corridor is across the street, to the south. Switchman Hall will remake one of two former warehouse structures along dead-end Ridge Avenue today. About 46,000 square feet of offices and retail space are planned.
Stafford reps tell Urbanize Atlanta the square footage of buildings in question hasn’t changed, but project designers—NO Architecture, led by Tim Nichols—have reconfigured what was intended to be traditional retail space to expand the food hall’s footprint. Project developer Melissa Ahrendt says interest in smaller retail slots—between 500 and 700 square feet—and creative office space has been particularly strong.
“We have the team at NO Architecture on speed dial,” Ahrendt joked in a prepared statement. “In all seriousness, the level of interest and pace of leasing have been just incredible.”
