The Eastern is a 2,200 capacity music venue located in the Reynoldstown neighborhood of Atlanta. The tiered concrete and steel structure ascends out of a compressed footprint.

The Eastern feels like a large rock venue, and an intimate room at the same time.
The venue boasts a rooftop with a stage and a bar. It can host a separate 400 person concert, or operate as an extension of the main venue.
Allen Post functioned as Project Manager and Chris Loyal was a Project Architect for The Eastern while at Perkins + Will. The Eastern has been extremely well-received by fans and musicians.

Other than the distinctive Streamline Modern curved corner which faces Memorial Drive, the remnants of the building which stood out was the manufacturing infrastructure from the dairy operations. The large steel catwalk, which was salvaged and incorporate into the new design, became the inspiration and driver for the project. The original dairies building was preserved and we added a new wing and second floor additions to increase the retail and office space for the development.
