The Sandy Springs City Council has selected a new development team to lead the second phase of the City Springs project. The initiative aims to revitalize the area south of Mount Vernon Highway into a vibrant mixed-use destination.
Why it matters
The project represents a strategic effort by local officials to convert underutilized land into a walkable hub for residents. This selection follows the city decision to terminate a prior agreement for the site.
The development plan encompasses a 5.5-acre site located south of Mount Vernon Highway. The council finalized this selection after a review process involving eight competing proposals.
The players
Sandy Springs City Council
The local governing body responsible for municipal policy, zoning decisions, and the oversight of city-wide infrastructure projects in Sandy Springs.
Trammell Crow Co.
A prominent national real estate developer and investment firm that manages large-scale commercial, residential, and mixed-use property projects.
The details
Trammell Crow Co. will serve as the master developer for the site, working alongside partners including High Street Residential, Hedgewood Homes, Third and Urban, and DSM Real Estate Partners. The planned development features a mix of hotel facilities, restaurant spaces, and residential units.
Timeline
The City Council selected the new development team in October 2026.
The project is expected to be complete by December 2030.
Market Landscape
This development represents an extension of the City Springs master plan, which sets the framework for urban density in Sandy Springs. The project aligns with current regional trends toward creating centralized, walkable mixed-use hubs in suburban environments.
Residents should anticipate future construction activity near the Mount Vernon Highway corridor as the development team begins work on the site. This project will eventually introduce new hotel, dining, and housing options to the immediate neighborhood.
The takeaway
The move signals a commitment to long-term infrastructure investment within the city core. Residents may track upcoming council meetings for updates on zoning changes and site progress through 2030.
