The City of Decatur is a 4.4-square-mile urban city just east of Atlanta. It has five walkable commercial districts and 1.8M square feet of office space in its four square miles designed specifically for businesses. Each district has a unique character and a mix of office, retail, residential, and institutional uses.
Decatur is...

Decatur launched its first business e-newsletter in September 2019 in conjunction with our effort to bring more attention to Decatur office locations. We send a new article every month and add it to the spotlight to give you a window into the work and successes of companies behind the doors of our office buildings. To see all the stories, see below. Of course, if you are in the market for office space or are just thinking about it, call us. We want to count you among our neighbors, too.
