A Westside Story
In 1998, while scouting locations for a future retail development, Kathleen Walker and Michael Phillips (veterans of another pioneering warehouse redevelopment project, FloatAway) stumbled upon the remnants of Atlanta’s original meatpacking district. At the time, westside Atlanta was a crumbling, neglected place, home to an underground community of designers, upholsters, artists, craftspeople and tradesmen. With their interest piqued by the arty, urban vibe, Michael and Katie also shrewdly took note of the area’s proximity to I-75/85, Buckhead, Midtown and Downtown. Pretty soon it was clear they’d discovered the perfect location for their first retail venture, Westside Urban Market.
They began by carefully curating the ideal mix of boutique retailers and restaurateurs. Working together in community, these entrepreneurs created an entirely unique, quintessentially Atlantan shopping and dining destination. Locals, out of towners and the media began buzzing about the westside (or “West Midtown” as real estate agents insist on calling it), and soon other developers started sniffing out opportunities in the area. One of the most notable was international investment leader Jamestown, who, in collaboration with Chris Fassemagne, Mike Millett and Michael Phillips of White Provision Development Company, purchased the tract of land along Howell Mill Road from Bishop Street to 14th Street, including the historic meatpacking building White Provision.
Michael and Katie got together with the new White Provision owners, Chris and Mike, to talk shop, and the rest is history. Westside Provisions District, born of a marriage between Westside Urban Market and White Provision, is now forever linked by an iconic footbridge and a shared commitment to authenticity. Distinguished by a thriving community of fantastic merchants and restaurateurs, Westside Provisions District defines quality. We also have a sense of humor – thus the pig in our logo, a nod to the westside’s history as Atlanta’s original meatpacking district. Like New York City’s Meatpacking District, Atlanta’s WSPD offers the very best boutique shopping and local dining in town. We host annual festivals, shopping events, publish our own community newsletter and both support and epitomize the larger Westside experience.
