Rise Baking Company is packing up its innovation center in Tucker and heading intown, choosing Uptown Atlanta's Lindbergh development for its next act. The national bakery supplier plans to build out office and research-and-development space inside the transit-oriented complex next to the Lindbergh MARTA station, a move first reported today that gives the revamped Uptown campus another corporate win.
According to the Atlanta Business Chronicle, Rise Baking will shift its innovation operations out of Tucker and into space at Uptown Atlanta's Lindbergh site. The Business Chronicle report, published July 10, 2026, notes that the company will house both office and R&D functions at the Lindbergh location.
Uptown's pull: transit and new office space
Uptown Atlanta wraps around the Lindbergh MARTA station and is anchored at 575 Morosgo Drive NE, with roughly 1 million square feet of office space and about 120,000 square feet of retail, according to The Atlanta Journal‑Constitution. That combination of a rail stop at the front door and a growing slate of street-level amenities has helped the project lure corporate tenants and new restaurants as the developer works to reposition the Lindbergh campus.
Rise Baking's footprint and recent moves
Rise Baking is a national bakery supplier whose Minneapolis-based R&D and trend-tracking work has drawn attention from trade media. Baking Business recently profiled the company’s product-development efforts, highlighting how it approaches new flavors and formats.
The company has also been reshuffling its manufacturing network - expanding a Pleasant View, Utah plant while preparing to close a Kent, Washington facility, according to the Puget Sound Business Journal. The Atlanta relocation slots into that broader pattern of realigning where the company invests and experiments.
What the move means for Lindbergh
Securing an R&D center for a national supplier broadens Uptown's tenant roster beyond its tech and government users. Coreforce's headquarters relocation into the same development earlier this year is one sign the strategy is working, a move that snags Coreforce HQ for the Lindbergh skyline. The Atlanta Business Chronicle report did not reveal how much space Rise will occupy or exactly when its teams will move in.
Developers and leasing teams have hinted that more tenant announcements are on deck as Uptown finishes its first phase, and landing a bakery R&D hub could help deepen the site's food-industry ecosystem. Lease filings and company statements are expected to fill in the details on build-out plans and staffing levels in the coming weeks.
