Pasticceria and Bakery Giulia Headed for The Forum Peachtree Corners

North American Properties to host redevelopment groundbreaking ceremony on April 27

As part of its ongoing effort to revitalize The Forum Peachtree Corners, North American Properties (NAP) and Nuveen Real Estate have signed a lease with Sahit Gjuka to open an Italian-inspired concept called Giulia this summer.

The pasticceria and bakery will serve handcrafted pastries and beverages in a modern, European-esque setting. The 1,720-square-foot restaurant will sit next to Dermani Med Spa along Forum Drive.

“The Forum is such a focal point of Peachtree Corners, and we love NAP’s vision to reposition it as the community’s town square,” said Gjuka, CEO of Giulia. “You see this type of concept throughout New York and Miami, but Atlanta doesn’t have anything quite like it yet. We’re excited to be part of The Forum’s next chapter and can’t wait to bring a true taste of Italia to the market.”

Giulia will offer signature pastries, cakes, croissants and sandwiches, all made from healthy, authentically sourced ingredients. Along with gourmet bites, Giulia will have a coffee menu featuring espressos, macchiatos, cappuccinos and other Italian-style sips. Indoor and outdoor seating will be available.

Giulia joins Peche, lululemon and High Country Outfitters as the most recent additions to The Forum’s evolving merchandising mix, curated by NAP. Retailers Pottery Barn and Fab’rik have renewed their leases for three and five years respectively.

The Forum Groundbreaking, a community-driven event, is scheduled for Thursday, April 27, 5:30-7:30 p.m. It is free and open to the public. Visit theforumpeachtree.com for details and to RSVP.

“This is just the beginning for all the exciting plans we have in the works at The Forum as we start establishing Downtown Peachtree Corners,” said Sue Storck, The Forum’s general manager.
