E CENTER A TOUR OF THE SUGAR HILL

The fitness areas of the E Center draw the biggest crowds thanks to virtually nonexistent membership fees. Downstairs, high tops squeak across the gleaming wooden floors of the basketball court. Whether it’s locals getting in a quick round of 1 v 1, a school practice or a crowd of sideline supporters cheering on an intramural team, the court is always a site of entertainment and excitement. An indoor track lies just overhead, offering a perfect vantage point for parents grabbing a cardio session while the kids practice.

Upstairs are two different workout zones with dumbbells, cardio machines, free weights and TRX equipment. They don’t tend to get as busy as the court downstairs, so it’s a surefire option for those looking to avoid gym crowds and get a quick, effective workout in.

Naturally, the E Center attracts gym goers looking to recharge post-workout, and the attached eateries are perfect places to fuel up. When curating these local spots, which are now part of the fabric of downtown Sugar Hill, the City factored in both convenience and personality.

The E Center doesn’t just house local businesses. The top floor is a cluster of office spaces occupied by organizations from tech to hospitality to dental and more. With space for businesses of all shapes, sizes and industries, this collaborative environment drives networking, sparks ideas and generates growth.

It’s easy for E Center businesses and other local organizations to host events with indoor and outdoor rentals available through the E Center. The Waterfall room provides a stunning banquet or meeting space complete with two projectors, high ceilings, massive windows and a balcony which spills out onto the promenade as an optional add-on. Other city event spaces include two rooms at 39th Street Station, parks, athletic complexes and classrooms.

This communal strip is tucked away from the West Broad Street traffic. It’s a picturesque stroll past Sugar Hill classics like The Bowl, Eagle Theatre and many local businesses with waterfront views. On nice nights, the promenade collects groups of sunset watchers and diners, and it’s only expected to draw bigger crowds thanks to its newest addition, a bar and lounge on the roof of the E Center.
