Adaptive Reuse Construction for Atlanta's Most Demanding Environments

Partner with Dakota

Dakota Contractors managed the full adaptive reuse of a multi-level parking garage at Ponce City Market, converting the structure into a 25,000-square-foot Montessori campus for The Suzuki School. The project required structural reinforcement to address the original garage's sloped surface and load requirements, a rooftop playground engineered for safety and durability, and finish-out tailored to the strict code requirements of an early childhood education environment. Coordination with Ponce City Market's contractors added another layer of complexity, requiring disciplined scheduling and clear communication across multiple stakeholders. The successful delivery led to additional work with The Suzuki School, reflecting the kind of trust our team builds on every project we take on.
