The old Putzel’s Lighting building located at 1343 Georgia Avenue has been renovated by local businessman Billy Pitts. He has revitalized the property with the Lantern Lofts and Triangle Business Center. This development has helped eliminate blight and sits in the middle of several historic landmarks and neighborhoods.

The Lantern Lofts and Triangle Business Center are two separate entities at one address. Both the lofts and offices are fully-furnished, ready to move in, include utilities plus free Wi-Fi and gated parking. The 12 Lantern Lofts include amenities such as a common area game room and a laundry room free of charge for the residents. The Triangle Business Center consists of 13 offices with access to an administrative assistant, a client waiting area, two conference rooms, an executive lounge and a technology room.

Both the Lantern Lofts and Triangle Business Center offices are offering one and three year leases which range from $675 - $775 per month. There is also a warehouse on the premises with a fitness center and extra on-site storage for lease holders of the Lantern Lofts and Triangle Business Center. The on-site storage facility will cost an additional monthly fee, depending on the size selected.

“This was an opportunity for me to help boost economic development in the Corridor. As an existing business owner in this district, I have a vested interest to help it stay vibrant,” says Billy Pitts, Chairman and CEO of the Lantern Lofts and Triangle Business Center. “The Lantern Lofts are specifically designed for college graduate students in Macon-Bibb County and surrounding areas, and the Triangle Business Center offices were created for entrepreneurs, nonprofits and satellite offices for existing businesses.”
