Developers reveal new designs and ‘pedestrian emphasis’ for six-block, eight-acre mixed-use Buckhead project.
OliverMcMillan, the new developers of the Streets of Buckhead, now called Buckhead Atlanta, is days away from applying to the city of Atlanta for its first permits to begin construction on the Buckhead site it has owned since June (the site has set vacant for several years).
Paul Buss, president of the San Diego-based real estate firm that develops urban and mixed-use retail, told What Now Atlanta at a press conference Thursday, Buckhead Atlanta will offer both high-end and mid-level retailers. The original project called for high-end Luxury retailers only, like Hermes.
Hermes, a luxury clothier that had signed on for the Streets of Buckhead originally, is the only confirmed Buckhead Atlanta retailer at this time, he said.
Nearly 2,200 parking spaces (revitalized from parking decks built for the Streets of Buckhead) have been carefully added to Buckhead Atlanta’s master plan, though OliverMcMillan hopes to leverage its $13 million landscape budget to encourage pedestrians.
Buckhead Atlanta is scheduled to be complete in 2013. We’ll have updates on the development’s retail and restaurant offerings when the information is available.
