It was located along Peachtree Street- Do we know the address? I see an address in the infobox, so perhaps we can use that.

The 1 acre (0.40 ha) of land in downtown Atlanta on which the theater would eventually be built was bought and sold several times- The juxtaposition of three verbs (built, bought, sold) is a little awkward.
On April 17, 1911, Candler sold the land to brothers Forrest and George W. Adair Jr. for $120,000.[2] On March 28, 1919,[3] the Adairs agreed to lease the land to C. B. and George Troup Howard,[2] the latter of whom was a successful cotton merchant.- I personally would rephrase this slightly, as it's somewhat unwieldy to have two sentences in a row begin with a date; however, this is optional. E.g. "The Adairs agreed on March 28, 1919,[3] to lease"

The theater building covered an area of 90 feet (27 m) by 275 feet (84 m)- Strictly speaking, these are dimensions, not an area.
Both sides had a frontage- On Peachtree and Ivy?
and the main entrance consisted of an arched opening measuring 35 feet (11 m) tall and 35 metres (115 ft) wide- This is a bit strange. The arch could not have been wider than the Peachtree frontage, which is cited as being 90 feet wide, unless Peachtree wasn't the main entrance, which would contradict the information above.
Additionally, a letter written during the time of the theater's construction from Allyn Cox to his mother makes mention of Shutze's work on a theater design that is most likely in reference to the Howard Theatre.[7] Additionally, a 2017 article published in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution states that Shutze was the architect for the theater.[9]- I'd reword this, as both sentences begin with "additionally", which is also awkward.
