Mixed-use would stand along Perimeter Center Parkway across from Dunwoody Station.

Developers want one mixed-use along Perimeter Center Parkway near Hammond Road to be the area’s “urban lifestyle quarter.”

More detailed renderings reveal what the project, called High Street Atlanta, could look like.

The large-scale project from GID Development was first announced at the beginning of last year, and drew attention when Bill Torpy of the AJC – whose offices would be leveled by the project – weighed in.

“A change is coming to Atlanta, one that everyone wants to be part of. Welcome to the city’s connected urban lifestyle quarter,“ the development’s website boasts.

The website makes clear the developer’s desire for the project to be associated with Atlanta’s more urban areas, as images of people jogging at Piedmont Park and others enjoying coffee at Westside Provisions District are mixed into the renderings.

High Street would total to a large-scale 8 million square feet of development, including 400,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, 1 million square feet of office space, a 750 room hotel and 3,000 residential units, per GID’s website. The project would also feature new streets, landscaped promenades, and a few parks and plazas.

Although the development would be located across from MARTA Dunwoody Station, 8,500 parking spots are included in the plans – not exactly music to the ears of commuters already stuck in traffic in the area.
