Jacoby Development Inc., a developer of smart growth and sustainable development national model Atlantic Station, and Suniva, a Norcross, Ga.-based manufacturer of solar cells, will collaborate on incorporating solar technology into Aerotropolis Atlanta, the redevelopment of the former Hapeville Ford Plant adjacent to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
The initial phase of the partnership includes the planned installation of up to 10 MW of solar power in the main parking structure of the redevelopment. Aerotropolis Atlanta, a 6.5 million square-foot, 130-acre mixed-use redevelopment will be an aviation-intensive business district expected to include office, retail, restaurant, hotel and airport parking.
Jacoby Development and Suniva add that they are currently investigating more opportunities to work together at this site and other projects.
