Rise Baking Company, home to some of the baking industry’s well-known brands and a manufacturer for in-store bakeries and foodservice operators, announces today the relocation of their Tucker, Georgia Innovation Center to Uptown Atlanta, a hyper-accessible, 47-acre mixed-use destination located between Midtown and Buckhead. The move reflects the company’s continued growth and is an investment in how its teams work, collaborate, and serve customers.
After more than 20 years in Tucker, Rise made the decision to transition to a new location as its current lease comes to an end later this year. The new space at 575 Main Street NE will be designed to better support the company’s evolving needs, bringing together teams in an environment built for innovation and connection. Rise will continue operating its manufacturing facilities in Tucker and Douglasville, maintaining its longstanding production presence in the Atlanta area.
“The current Innovation Center in Tucker has been an important part of our history, and we’re grateful for the foundation it provided,” said Mark McNeil, CEO of Rise Baking Company. “As we look ahead, this move allows us to evolve our environment in a way that better supports our people, our customers and how we work together. It’s an investment in building a true Commercial and Customer Center of Excellence that reflects who we are today and where we’re headed, not only in terms of our capabilities, but also in providing an environment where our people can connect, collaborate and thrive.”
“We are proud to welcome Rise Baking Company to Uptown,” said Eric Schiela, COO for Rubenstein Partners. “The company’s commitment to innovation aligns perfectly with Uptown’s vibrant community of office tenants and retail concepts, and we are excited to support its continued growth in the Atlanta market.”
New Commercial and Customer Center of Excellence
The new Commercial and Customer Center of Excellence will offer over 30,000 square feet of combined office and R&D space, expanding and enhancing current capabilities. Bringing together Rise’s Atlanta-based shared services teams – including R&D, customer service, commercialization, operations, procurement and payroll – into a single location, the space is designed to support both business growth and employee experience. With amenities that encourage collaboration, wellbeing and productivity, the facility reflects Rise’s continued investment in its people and future.
Anchored by the Lindbergh MARTA Station, Uptown Atlanta includes a mix of retail and restaurant offerings, along with community gathering spaces such as The Lawn and a pedestrian-friendly Main Street. Uptown’s retail and restaurant lineup includes White Windmill, Madre Selva, J’ouvert Caribbean Kitchen, Bene Korean, Sugarcoat, Roundhouse Kickboxing, The Commodore, 26 Thai Kitchen and Bar and Chow À La Carte at Uptown Test Kitchen. Uptown Atlanta is owned by Rubenstein Partners.
The transit-oriented community also connects to other major pedestrian trails, including the Atlanta Beltline, PATH400 and the South Fork Trail. On-site office amenities include a 35,000 square-foot office atrium, fitness center, conference facilities and collaborative workspaces, as well as a game room with a golf simulator.
