Our Downtown job: wiring a historic South Downtown block
In 2025 and 2026, we ran the inside wiring for a multi-building redevelopment in South Downtown, around Broad and Mitchell streets. The buildings are brick storefronts from the early 1900s, being turned into restaurants, shops, and space for new tenants.
Across six of the buildings, we installed:
- Cat6 copper and single-mode fiber inside the buildings, terminated on patch panels in racks.
- Shielded cable and wiring for card readers at the doors that needed them.
- Cameras, speakers, and Wi-Fi access points, mounted on that cabling.
Old buildings decide the route. A path that looks clean on a drawing can run into brick, old framing, or a chase no one recorded.
Three restaurants on the same blocks also hired us for their own spaces. Depending on the space, that meant alarms and cameras, a business network with a battery backup, and sound for the dining room. You can read more in our story on wiring South Downtown.
What we install in Downtown buildings
Pick the system you need. One licensed contractor handles the wiring and every device that runs on it, so nothing falls between two vendors.
Inside Wiring
Cat6 copper and inside-plant fiber from the wiring closet to every desk, camera, reader, and access point. Terminated on patch panels, labeled, and tested.

Cameras for street doors, back alleys, dining rooms, kitchens, and lobbies. Video records on site, and you can pull it up on your phone.

Door contacts, motion, glass-break, and panic buttons, plus temperature sensors that warn you when a walk-in cooler warms up. Central monitoring is your choice.

Card and phone readers for suite doors and back-of-house doors, and video call boxes at loft entries and parking gates.

A business network and Wi-Fi in a small wall rack, a battery backup, and a second internet path, so card payments keep working when one line drops.

Ceiling and wall speakers with an amplifier and a volume knob on the wall, and cabling for the TVs. Built for dining rooms and patios.

Old walls, busy buildings, and tight opening dates. We plan for all three.
Routes planned for old walls
Brick, plaster, and old framing change where cable can go. We map the routes from your drawings and photos, so the price already counts the hard parts.
Cable in before the ceilings close
On a buildout, our cabling goes in alongside the framing and the electrical. That keeps the opening date and avoids cutting finished walls later.
Building rules come first
Towers and managed buildings often set hours for loud work, ask for proof of insurance, and book the freight elevator. We schedule to those rules.
Records for the next tenant
Every cable and device gets a label and a test result, and the drawings stay with you. When a space turns over, the next tenant knows what is in the walls.
Downtown buildings we quote
Downtown packs very different buildings into a small area. Century-old storefronts line South Downtown, converted warehouse lofts fill Castleberry Hill, office towers rise around Five Points and Peachtree Center, and hotels and attractions ring Centennial Olympic Park. Each one wires differently, so we price the building in front of us.

Permits and inspections for Downtown jobs
Every Downtown address is inside Atlanta city limits, so the City of Atlanta reviews the work. The Office of Buildings, part of the Department of City Planning, issues building permits and runs inspections. Low-voltage work, such as alarm, phone, and data cabling, is filed as its own trade permit through the city's online permitting system.
Fire alarm work, and anything tied to it, such as door locks that must release in an alarm, also goes through fire and life safety review. Permit applications filed on or after February 1, 2026 are reviewed under Georgia's newly adopted construction codes.
Many Downtown buildings are a century old. Cameras, call boxes, and conduit on an old brick front need a plan for where they mount and how they pass through the wall. We confirm the permits and reviews your job needs before we quote, and the review time goes into your schedule.
Questions from Downtown owners, tenants, and boards
Do you work in older Downtown buildings?+
Yes. Much of our Downtown work has been in brick buildings more than a century old. Old walls and unrecorded chases decide where cable can run, so photos of the ceilings, the wiring closet, and the doors help us plan the routes before we price the job.
Which office issues permits for a Downtown Atlanta job?+
The City of Atlanta. Every Downtown address is inside city limits, so the Office of Buildings in the Department of City Planning handles the permit. Low-voltage work is filed as its own trade permit, and fire alarm work also gets a fire and life safety review. We build that review time into the schedule.
Can you wire a restaurant or shop before it opens?+
Yes. The data, camera, alarm, and speaker cabling goes in during the buildout, before the ceilings close. The devices, the network, and the alarm come online closer to opening day. Send the tenant floor plan and your target opening date.
Our Downtown loft building still has old coax cameras. Can you replace them?+
Yes. We pull Cat6 to each camera spot, take out the old coax, and connect the new cameras to a PoE switch, so each camera gets power and data on one cable. Photos of the current cameras and the room where the recorder sits are enough to start.
Do you need to see the space before you can quote?+
Usually not. Drawings, a tenant floor plan, or phone photos are often enough for a fixed price in writing. For a space in an office tower, also tell us the floor and the rules the building sets for contractors.
