Virginia–Highland commercial districts

There is a large gym, bars, nightclubs, and specialty retailers selling furniture, jewelry, clothing, floral design, antiques, baked goods, cooking accessories, rugs and more.

Ponce de Leon Avenue, which forms the southern border of Virginia Highland is also a major commercial artery, some parts of which still show the area's former decline.

In June 2011, Jamestown Properties bought City Hall East (the former Sears building), on Ponce at the BeltLine, technically in the Old Fourth Ward.

[7] As of April 2011, the Georgia Department of Transportation has decided to begin the design of safety improvements for pedestrians on the two-mile stretch of Ponce between Piedmont and N. Highland/Moreland.

In July 2011, the Jamestown property development company acquired City Hall East (the former Sears building) located where Ponce de Leon Avenue crosses the BeltLine, immediately adjacent to Virginia Highland.

[9][10] It is hoped that this significant development will anchor the area of the four neighborhoods (Virginia Highland, Midtown, the Old Fourth Ward and Poncey–Highland) that meet at the property's edge.
