Emory Buys Brookhaven's Executive Park

BROOKHAVEN, GA -- Emory University announced on Tuesday that it is purchasing approximately 60 acres of property at Executive Park, located near the interchange of North Druid Hills Road and I-85 in Brookhaven.

Emory purchased the property from Equity Commonwealth.

“Emory takes a long-term, mission-oriented view when evaluating its real estate holdings," said Emory President James Wagner. "This significant parcel, which is in a location accessible to all of metro Atlanta, coupled with the fact that we have successful programs already located in the Park, presented an extraordinary, once in a generation opportunity for Emory and the region.”

The site is comprised of approximately 400,000 square feet of office space. Included in the purchase are nine office buildings.

Brookhaven Mayor John Ernst said, "We are pleased that Emory has acquired Executive Park. We expect Emory's presence to be a catalyst for revitalization of this great area, which the city welcomed into Brookhaven less than a year and a half ago."
