Norcross DDA approves purchase of 94 Wingo, authorizes eviction and lists two properties at $1.15M
Summary
At its May 5 special meeting the Norcross Downtown Development Authority approved a Purchase & Sale Agreement for 94 Wingo Street, authorized counsel to begin eviction proceedings for a tenant at 125 Lawrenceville St. Suite 400, approved listing agreements for 9 S. Peachtree and 29 Jones at $1,150,000 each, and authorized survey work for Wingo Street properties.
Chair Jim Eyre presided over the Norcross Downtown Development Authority’s special called meeting on May 5, where the board approved a Purchase & Sale Agreement for 94 Wingo Street, authorized legal action to evict a tenant at 125 Lawrenceville Street Suite 400, and voted to list two DDA-owned properties at $1,150,000 each.
The board voted unanimously on a set of property actions after a presentation of items related to downtown parcels. Vice Chair Brenden Frazier moved to approve a proposal from Columbia Engineering for survey work on the Wingo Street properties to develop an exemption plat; the motion passed unanimously. The minutes do not specify the dollar amount of the Columbia Engineering proposal.
Chair Jim Eyre presented a listing agreement with the Quin Group, Inc. for the properties at 9 S. Peachtree and 29 Jones. Board member Josh Bare moved to approve the listing agreement and to set a list price of $1,150,000 for each property; the board approved the motion unanimously.
Following a motion to add a discussion of a tenant-default policy to the agenda, the board recessed into executive session at 7:39 p.m. to discuss real estate matters and to consult with legal counsel; the board left executive session at 7:56 p.m. The minutes record that Board Member Tim Moresco left the meeting at 7:56 p.m.; the published votes for subsequent unanimous actions are recorded as 6-0 in the minutes (see audit note below regarding timing). The minutes do not identify DDA counsel by name.
After returning to open session, Board member Josh Bare moved to approve the Purchase and Sale Agreement for 94 Wingo Street and to authorize Chair Jim Eyre to sign the agreement on behalf of the DDA, subject to final approval by counsel; the motion was recorded as approved unanimously. The minutes do not list the purchase price or specific contract terms.
Board member John Bemis moved to authorize counsel for the DDA to demand possession and to begin eviction proceedings for the tenant in Suite 400 at 125 Lawrenceville Street, including collection of rent, penalties and other amounts owed under the lease; Board member Lauren Summers seconded the motion and it was recorded as approved unanimously. The action authorizes counsel to begin legal steps; it does not indicate that possession had been taken or that court action had been filed at the time of the minutes.
The meeting adjourned at 7:58 p.m. The minutes list the next DDA meeting at 6:00 p.m. on May 14, 2026.
Why this matters: The DDA’s approvals put 94 Wingo under contract and move toward removing a commercial tenant at 125 Lawrenceville Suite 400, while the listing and survey approvals signal the authority’s near-term plan to market and prepare downtown parcels for sale or redevelopment. The minutes provide limited contract details; counsel review and any filings to begin eviction will determine next public steps.
