12th & Midtown is happy to welcome their latest retailer. CB2 is a Chicago-based home furnishings chain that targets the young and hip with modern furniture and trendy accessories. It is actually an offshoot of Crate and Barrel, and the 12th & Midtown location will be its first Atlanta store.

There’s no secret that with the current state of the economy, CB2 had a variety of options for their first Atlanta store. So, it really is a testament to the exceptional location and vibrant atmosphere of the area that 12th & Midtown was chosen. CB2 is the first major national retailer to commit to the Midtown Mile, and there are only more exciting store openings to come.

The Atlanta CB2 store will be a 14,000 square foot store and is expected to open next summer. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Chicago, CB2 is a modern home furnishings and accessories destination from Crate and Barrel, offering innovative and affordable design solutions for apartment, loft, home and office. From mid-century-inspired accessories to classic barware to contemporary furniture in warm, textured fabrics, CB2 is ideal for urban-dwellers, with many furnishings scaled perfectly to fit small spaces.

With 1010 Midtown being the completed first Phase of 12th & Midtown, it doesn’t seem like there could be a better first retailer. Residents of the new Atlanta condos can literally just walk down to street level to get to the perfect store to furnish their urban condos. While CB2 is the first retailer for 12th & Midtown, it is definitely not the first tenant. CB2 joins join eateries such as Ri Ra Irish Pub & Restaurant, RA Sushi Bar Restaurant, Piola and Noon Midtown, as well as office tenants Seyfarth Shaw LLP and The Boston Consulting Group, Inc., in the mixed-use development.
