ACP plans to complete Surf Lodge by EOY 2026. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b815f5e9bfdfbcc641c2eb/55bd3215-1ff5-4c8a-bd33-d305bfd7edab/IMG_0503.JPG.jpg Projects - 167 S.

It includes 10 new apartments above the Leadership Studio. The building features a shared community room and outdoor deck—making it perfect for teachers, freelancers, and entrepreneurs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b815f5e9bfdfbcc641c2eb/a0d8afa1-a9cd-40f8-8c15-00bdb8a90b2a/unnamed.jpg Projects - HAYDAY COFFEE ACP (with co-founder Loryn L. Simonsen) opened the city’s only independent coffee shop, Hayday Coffee, in the summer of 2018. Hayday quickly became a go-to community spot—a space for all to gather, share stories, and be inspired to realize change of their own. Hayday reopened in ACP’s Bywater building in December 2020. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b815f5e9bfdfbcc641c2eb/e3124381-ff30-4096-9758-1f138e2e4563/IMG_0002.jpeg Projects - BYWATER Bywater is a gut renovation of a century-old 12-unit mixed-use building on New York Avenue, completed in the summer of 2020.

ACP’s first tenant, The Leadership Studio, an Atlantic City-based nonprofit committed to cultivating leaders and wellness through yoga opened its doors in October of 2017 on the beach block of Tennessee Avenue. Hayday Coffee’s original store was also part of the initial renaissance. https://www.authenticcitypartners.com/press daily 0.75 2023-10-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b815f5e9bfdfbcc641c2eb/6f6373d4-7385-4923-9535-8fd415fcbdac/650b67fc3fa28.image.jpg Press - Make it stand out SELENA VAZQUEZ for The Press | Oct 8, 2023 Evan Sanchez and Zenith Shah, co-founders of Authentic City Partners, talk with Michael Brennan, center, outside Brennan's Cardinal Restaurant and Lounge on South New York Avenue in the Orange Loop neighborhood of Atlantic City.
