Old Tyler Perry Studio in Inman Park Being Converted to House “West Coast Market”
Decatur Metro | November 19, 2012
Oh Decatur, where are your defunct movie studio spaces to do these sorts of things? Wheatley we-ports…
An Atlanta developer plans to transform Tyler Perry’s old production facility and warehouse near the Atlanta Beltline’s Eastside Trail into a mixed-use development centered around a 12,000 square-foot, west coast-style marketand restaurants. The redevelopment, titled Krog Street Market, would eventually include housing on the complex’s south end.Paces Properties in late October closed on several adjacent parcels in Inman Park near the Beltline, including: the Stove Works, the vibrant dining and office complex; Tyler Perry’s old 66,000 square-foot studio at the intersection of Krog Street and Lake Avenue; and several smaller adjacent parcels. According to commercial real-estate research firm Databank, Paces paid $13.4 million for the combined nine acres.
Well, at least it’ll be accessible via quick trip on MARTA followed by a short walk until someone dreams up and funds that Inman Park to Decatur streetcar line!

Looks like you just dreamt up the Inman Park to Decatur line. Now for the funding part!
It’s a fifteen-minute bike ride…just sayin’.
And less than 12 minute ride on our existing Rail Transit line, followed by a short walk.
darn, DM already wrote that!
I’m shocked the name of the place doesn’t have Tyler Perrys name in it 5 times
Interesting. Can anyone provide information on name “Krog”?
Yes, the street was named after a caveman who lived in that area in 546 BC and invented the stone wheel.

“Krog Street was originally Wallace Street and was renamed in 1892 for Frederick Krog, who was important in early Atlanta railroads and who coincidentally died in 1892 and lived nearby.”
