Richmond Hill, GA — April 2, 2026 — Raydient announces that Hop Atomica, a familiar name in the Savannah brewery landscape, will celebrate their groundbreaking at 11am on April 15th at their new location within the Heartwood master-planned community in Richmond Hill. The project will be constructed by Omega Construction, with an anticipated opening timeframe of Spring 2027!

The new brewery, distillery and restaurant will be the first of its kind at Heartwood, perfectly situated along Heartwood Avenue within the emerging Outfitters Village. This neighborhood retail destination is envisioned as a lively, walkable district where residents and visitors can enjoy shopping, dining, wellness, and recreation in a setting shaped by Lowcountry design and outdoor gathering spaces. Additional announcements regarding Outfitters Village tenants and programming will be shared in the near future.

“This is exactly the kind of place we’ve always hoped to be part of,” said Mark and Tanya Barrett, owners of Hop Atomica.“We’re excited to create a space where friends can meet after work, families can gather on the weekends, and new traditions can take root right here in Richmond Hill.”

Hop Atomica at Heartwood is planned to include indoor and outdoor seating designed to connect with the community’s trail network and event spaces, offering a natural extension of the neighborhood’s everyday life. The project continues the phased development of Heartwood’s commercial core, which will feature a curated mix of uses intended to serve residents within minutes of home.

Further details regarding construction milestones, hiring opportunities, and opening celebrations will be released as the project progresses.
