Healthcare division of Universal Technical Institute, Inc. signs 47,358-SF lease
ATLANTA, GA, December 05, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Concorde Career Colleges, the healthcare education division of Universal Technical Institute, Inc., has selected Lee + White, an adaptive reuse development in Atlanta's West End, as a location for its first Georgia campus. Concorde has signed a 47,358-square-foot lease at Lee + White's 929 Building, with plans to open in 2027.
April Parrish, Executive Director at Cushman & Wakefield, represented Concorde, while Porter Henritze, Partner, and Melanie Wolfe, Vice President at Partners Real Estate, represented co-owners MDH Partners and Ackerman & Co. in the lease signing.
Concorde specializes in dental, nursing, diagnostic, patient care and allied health training programs. Its Atlanta campus will serve up to 700 students at scale and offer a range of programs.
"Atlanta's vibrant economy, world-class healthcare and on-going demand for skilled healthcare and dental professionals make it an ideal location for a Concorde campus. We look forward to forging new partnerships with area hospital systems, clinics, dental practices and community health organizations," said Kevin Prehn, President of Concorde Career Colleges. "We're excited to house our campus in the Lee + White development, which offers fantastic amenities for our future faculty, staff and students."
Concorde's suites in the 929 Building, a refurbished former warehouse space, will be customized to provide a state-of-the-art, modern learning environment for Concorde's programs, while offering walkable access to Lee + White's extensive amenities, including restaurants, retailers, a food hall and the Atlanta Westside BeltLine.
"We're proud to welcome Concorde to Lee + White as it launches its first career campus in Georgia," said Evan Ziegler, President of Ackerman Southeast. "Alongside the Ogle School, a cosmetology and beauty school that opened over the past year in the same building, Concorde will bring new educational opportunities for the West End community and residents across metro Atlanta while strengthening the diverse lineup that has made Lee + White a vibrant community hub."
"We're thrilled that Concorde Career Colleges is opening its Georgia campus at Lee + White," added Jeff Small, CEO of MDH Partners. "In addition to bringing valuable workforce training opportunities to residents across the region, their presence complements the mix of uses that make our development a dynamic place to learn, work and connect."
In addition to Concorde and the Ogle School, Lee + White's roster includes Carbice and JTEC, two high-tech companies that have established their global headquarters and production operations at the development, while Grady Health has opened an outpatient center and Keller Williams is on track to open a new regional office in 2026.
MDH Partners and Ackerman & Co. acquired Lee + White in September 2019, adding a "Great Lawn" central gathering place, a 19-vendor food hall, and a variety of businesses and service providers to a lineup that was initially known for its popular breweries, restaurants, whiskey barrel house and climbing gym.
Lee + White provides Atlanta BeltLine access via four direct entrances, is just 1/2 mile from the West End MARTA rail station and is convenient to all of metro Atlanta's interstates, including an I-20 interchange just 1.5 miles from the property. A planned MARTA station at Murphy Crossing will be a short walk from Lee + White via the BeltLine.
