What are your impressions, thoughts, concerns or suggestions regarding the proposed site plan and uses submitted by North American Properties for the Avalon Development at the northwest corner of GA-400 and Old Milton Parkway?

I like the plan as presented and believe it will be a great addition to the community.

Looks nice. I'm glad that eye sore is going to get worked on. They have a 14floor office building. Is there commitment from someone to lease that already? Is that a little tall for the buildings in the area?

This is okay for a starting point, but there are some big changes that need to be made before I can support it.

The development of this parcel will be very good for Alpharetta. However, the inclusion of the 250 multifamily residential rental units is unacceptable. The developer has stated that the project will not be built without the multifamily and has given a variety of reasons as to why it is critical. The fact is the multifamily will not determine the long term success of this project but possibly the profit the developer will make. The idea that they will command rents that are above market is preposterous. If that is the case then do the apartments at Atlantic Station command rents that are higher than the rest of the market.

I was hoping for an Ikea in this space but alas I see that won't be happening. I haven't been privy to any discussions on this topic before but from reading other comments it does seem there have been some. I have lived in Alpharetta since 2008 and I must say this is one ugly lot and I've been anxious to see what will be done with it. What's more is that I will be DELIGHTED when West Side Parkway is opened! It looks paved; seems like all we're waiting on is a light at Old Milton!

I would love to have input on the types of stores and restaurants which will inhabit this space -- if we could get a Trader Joes I would be one happy lady

A mixed-use walking friendly development is always better than those monster structures were Alpharettans only can access using a car, or those that look so industrial and/or warehouse type , like the ones we see along Old Milton and Mansell Road. Anything where you can see other than blocks and blocks of cars before you get to where you want to go (i.e. North Point Mall), will enhance the city. In my opinion, eco-friendly developments are the way to go, open outdoor spaces (i.e The Avenues, or Atlantic Station).For what I see, Avalon seems to respect the Georgian Traditional Design, yet introducing beautiful modern details and open-concept that will invite to a rather eclectic space. This is my overall view, I have not seen the details. Thanks !

I can't wait to experience Avalon!

I don't buy the position that the rental units will command higher rents. There are already so many apartment complexes within 5-10 miles of this development. If apartments are empty, prices come down. Why not condos instead of rental? I'd like to see the analysis around the current rental market in Alpharetta, and why we need to increase the density even further.

These developers have clearly stated that the project is a no-go without the rental units. Alpharetta is so desperate to have some developer clean up that mess, that they will bend to the demands of the developer.
I sure hope that Alpharetta isn't soft on the entire approval process, leaving us with something less that we can be proud of.

This is a wonderful idea. I watched the meeting on February 13th, and was blown away. I have been curious about this project for 3 years. I would love to have my business at the Avalon, and show off our 5 star service and talent. My salon is the salon to go to when you want runway finishes, or fresh polished looks.
My salon can continue to grow successful stylists to cater to our community. It is also my dream to live, work, and shop in one place. This development is perfect timing for me, and our community.

There is substantial revenue to generate in Alpharetta .... With Avalon we Alpharetta peeps can spend our dollars in Alpharetta as opposed to Dunwoody and Buckhead. My wife and I are very excited about this addition to our neighborhood.
