Branch Properties

Branch recently celebrated our 50-year anniversary with some of our valued partners in Hamburg, Germany.

We express our heartfelt gratitude to all who joined us and to our esteemed investors for placing their continued confidence in our company. Your unwavering trust and support have been the cornerstone of our success!

Living in a food desert can take a toll on both health and finances. According to a recent USDA report, up to 27% of the US population resides in areas with limited access to healthy grocery options.

At Branch, we're helping to address this issue by developing grocery-anchored shopping centers that offer affordable and nutritious food options to local communities.

As Branch celebrates our 50th anniversary this year, we’re sharing stories and quotes from longtime tenants to honor our half-century history of changing the retail landscape of the Southeast.

Our first features Pasta Vino. An Italian restaurant with a true neighborhood feel, Pasta Vino was opened over 30 years ago by Nico, an Italian restaurant owner from New York who brought his family and staff to Atlanta in the late 80’s. Located at Peachtree Battle Shopping Center in Atlanta, Branch has been with Pasta Vino since the beginning.

“Back before I was the owner of Pasta Vino, I used to come to Peachtree Battle to get danish from the bakery and read in the book store,” said owner Nancy Powell. “Peachtree Battle is just an incredibly convenient shopping center. It has great parking and pretty much everything you need, so we love this location.”

In a city that’s constantly changing, Branch is proud to be home for so many remarkable businesses and Atlanta staples. We hope to see you at Pasta Vino!

We're thrilled to announce that Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar will be joining Limestone Marketplace, our highly anticipated Publix-anchored shopping center in Gainesville, Ga.
