Sola Salon Studios Expands to Atlanta's West End with 1200 White Street Location
Sola Salon Studios' expansion into Atlanta's West End at the 1200 White Street adaptive reuse development represents significant economic revitalization and small business opportunity in an emerging neighborhood with BeltLine access.
Sola Salon Studios, a leading salon studio franchise with more than 700 locations nationwide, has leased 7,952 square feet at 1200 White Street, an adaptive reuse mixed-use development in Atlanta's West End. The health and beauty concept is targeting an early 2026 opening in the 211,585-square-foot warehouse building undergoing transformation into retail, restaurant, creative office, and experiential spaces.
The location will feature 41 customized salon suites for various health and beauty specialties, providing professionals with fully-equipped private studios alongside business support and educational resources. Kelley Morrissey, franchise owner of the Sola Salon location, emphasized the significance of bringing opportunity to local beauty professionals while benefiting from neighborhood transformation and convenient access to the Atlanta Westside BeltLine.
Leo Wiener, President of Ackerman Retail, a division of Ackerman & Co., stated, "We're pleased to welcome Sola Salon Studios to 1200 White Street as we continue building a dynamic, mixed-use destination that brings together a diverse mix of businesses and retailers." The development is owned by Atlanta-based Ackerman & Co. and Belgium-based Baltisse.
This expansion follows the recent opening of Dill Dinkers, a 35,891-square-foot pickleball facility that marked the growing franchise's entry into the Atlanta market at the same development. The Sola Salon lease represents continued momentum for the West End area, which includes the nearby Lee + White development, a 442,000-square-foot redevelopment of the former "Warehouse Row" that has become an entertainment and business hub co-owned by Ackerman with MDH Partners.
The addition of Sola Salon Studios to 1200 White Street supports the ongoing revitalization of Atlanta's West End while creating career growth opportunities for beauty professionals in a neighborhood experiencing significant transformation through adaptive reuse projects.
