HALIDOM EATERY UNVEILS SPRING 2024 OPENING ON MORELAND AVENUE
On the horizon for Spring 2024 is Halidom Eatery, a game-changer in food, beverage, and community bonding for East Atlanta. Nestled in the IST Management building at 1341 Moreland Avenue SE, the eatery is poised to cater to a population of nearly 350,000 within a mere fifteen-minute drive. Surrounding neighborhoods benefiting from
this culinary addition include East Atlanta, Glenwood Park, Chosewood Park, Ormewood Park,
Boulevard Heights, Woodland Hills, and Gresham Park and Constitution.
Hal Blackman, IST Management Services’ President and CEO, remarked, “in our year at this
location, we’ve sensed from nearby residents that they are longing for a vibrant and new
communal space. Drawing from this feedback, we are putting together a stellar lineup of local
and regional food and beverage vendors. In addition, our vision is to invigorate the
neighborhood with many public events, private gatherings, and engaging weekly programs at
Halidom Eatery that are family friendly.”
A limited number of the eleven stall spaces are still available, which include exclusive features
like a stone hearth pizza oven, smoker, and the all-day-café stall is outfitted with espresso
machines that are both automatic and manual, two rapid cook ovens, and a beer tower for
nitro-coffee. Prospective culinary vendors will appreciate the streamlined operations backed by
a comprehensive management team, ready-to-use POS system, and efficient support staff.
Blackman further emphasized, “Our goal is to align with the community’s desire for near-by food
and ensure the chosen concepts resonate with the neighborhood’s comfort zone.”
Coliccho Consulting, a reputed name in food and beverage consultation, works collaboratively
with the Halidom Eatery team from ideation to execution.
Trip Schneck, Coliccho Consulting, Managing Partner, “Halidom Eatery is positioned to serve as
a flag-planting food and beverage experience in East Atlanta. Having worked on over 50 food
halls across the nation, Halidom Eatery is one of the most thoughtful and well-appointed build
outs we have seen in our 15 years of working on food hall projects. The owner’s commitment to
excellence permeates throughout the space. Our team at Colicchio Consulting had the
opportunity to work closely with IST Management and commercial broker terra alma on the
conceptualizing, planning, and curation of the eatery. Overall, we are excited to bring Halidom
Eatery to life, knowing it will provide a community table for the residents of East Atlanta and
beyond, while offering a little something for everyone in the neighborhood.”
Eimer Design Studio, a renowned architect and design firm, infuses an art deco aesthetic with a
touch of tropical flair. Ed Eimer, President, Eimer Design, “The Halidom Eatery project stands at
the top echelon of the more than 80 food hall projects Eimer Design has created, and I’m
incredibly excited to see this vision become a reality. It was clear from the beginning that IST
Management wanted a truly unique design. And the goal has been attained with an unexpected
and imaginative atmosphere that transports guests to an environment reminiscent of a warm,
tropical spot. The eatery is strategically laid out to allow visitors to meander through unique
pockets of indoor and outdoor spaces, finding a variety of artisanal vendors, dining spaces,
lounges and collaborative zones. Bold, vibrant colors and graphics are inspired by Art Deco
heritage, while organic and tactile elements derived from the relaxed lifestyle make the space
approachable to all. The combination of layout, materiality and curation will make Halidom
Eatery a local favorite, a destination and social hub unlike anything else in the South East
Atlanta area.”
The construction is entrusted to BA Barrett Construction, known for its meticulous work on

About Halidom Eatery
Set to redefine dining in Spring 2024, Halidom Eatery promises a gastronomic journey with local
and regional culinary brands across eleven stalls, a plush bar, an elite event area, and a
carefully curated outdoor green space. Even before its public debut, the eatery aims to engage
with the East Atlanta community through various neighborhood events. Located at the IST
Management headquarters’ base, it’s the inaugural phase of a mixed-use domain, Halidom,
which will house luxury apartments, retail spaces, and a peaceful 2-acre park, offering an oasis
amidst the urban hustle of Moreland Avenue. “Halidom” resonates with the 12th-century term,
symbolizing “sanctuary.”
