Technology Enterprise Park

About TEP

The Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) has received a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Agency to conduct a feasibility study to expand Technology Enterprise Park (TEP) into a health and bioscience hub and mixed-use research neighborhood on Atlanta’s westside. TEP received the funds as a Science and Research Park Development grant of the 2014 Regional Innovation Strategies Program. Money was also leveraged locally from Invest Atlanta to supplement this study.
Enterprise Innovation Institute is leading the study along with a team consisting of representatives from The University Financing Foundation (TUFF), Invest Atlanta, Central Atlanta Progress, Westside Communities Alliance, Georgia Tech’s Office of Real Estate, Capital Planning and Space Management, and others.

Design firm Perkins + Will and a team they put together (TEConomy, HR&A Advisors, and Point A Consulting) has been hired to create options for the “research neighborhood’s” lay-out and architecture.
TEP sits at the intersection of North Avenue and Northside Drive, adjacent to the neighborhood of English Avenue and its current tenants at TEP include: CardioMems, Kemira, and CryoLife. The vision of TEP includes interconnected parcels with Atlanta Housing Authority which is planning to rebuild housing units on the former Herndon Homes site. It will become a network of research labs, corporate research and development centers, retail, and residential projects.
