The Challenge
A local lender took over a distressed office park asset in Conyers, GA, which included professional and medical office condominiums. The property had suffered from years of deferred maintenance, exacerbated by the 2008 recession. Issues like water damage from leaking roofs, damaged gutters, and broken downspouts plagued the property. The parking lot was deteriorating, and the office park was in desperate need of revitalization. Faced with the challenge of recovering its investment, the lender enlisted EpiCity to help with the rehabilitation of the distressed asset.
The Solution
EpiCity’s first step in the distressed asset rehabilitation process was to conduct a comprehensive demand assessment, revealing a strong need for office spaces in Conyers that blended home-like comfort with productivity-boosting business amenities. With this valuable insight, EpiCity’s design and construction teams swiftly executed a campus-wide overhaul, modernizing both the aesthetics and functionality of the property. The renovation focused on creating an inviting, flexible environment that would cater to a range of tenants.
In addition to the cosmetic upgrades, a critical challenge arose when the 10’ x 10’ water collection pan for the air conditioning system failed during one of the hottest summer days. With temperatures rising, EpiCity acted quickly to install a temporary cooling solution to keep tenants comfortable. They then devised a highly cost-efficient plan to repair the system, avoiding a full replacement that would have cost over $100,000 and taken months.
The team leveraged various trades—HVAC, plumbing, carpentry, metalworking, and roofing—to drain, clean, and repair the pan with a submersible roofing material. Strategic welds and metal replacements made the cooling tower structurally sound again, bringing the system back online at a fraction of the cost. Later, a stainless steel pan was custom-built, ensuring the system was fully waterproof.
The Results
The renovation transformed Wall Street Conyers into a modern, professional office space, with flexible leasing options ranging from 450 to over 15,000 rentable square feet. Offering both purchase and lease options, the property quickly became the top choice for businesses in the area. The cost-effective renovations revitalized the space and attracted a surge of new tenants.
One notable success story includes a tenant who doubled her office space, transitioning from a single office to two larger spaces within the complex. The Wall Street Conyers team facilitated the move, ensuring a seamless transition that allowed her business to grow without disruption.
As a result of EpiCity’s strategic improvements, the lender met its financial goals, leasing up the vacant spaces and successfully selling all of its holdings. The property has become a magnet for new tenants and buyers, establishing itself as the premier office location in Conyers.
