Sandy Springs eyes expansion of City Springs campus

By Bob Pepalis

Sandy Springs City Council will choose one of five master developers to extend the City Springs campus.

Plans for the four-acre property include a boutique hotel, office, retail, and residential components, with a preference for owner-occupied housing, according to the request for proposals.

The city received five proposals and all were found to be in compliance with the city’s process and qualified to move forward to the second phase, City Manager Eden Freeman said during a special called City Council meeting on Jan. 23.

The firms include: The Atlantic Companies, Mid City Real Estate Partners with ASD|SKY. Mill Creek Residential Trust with Westbridge, Regent Partners with Morris and Fellows, and RocaPoint Partners and The Georgetown Co.

The proposals will have comprehensive layouts of what they plan and will have detailed concepts about what they want to produce, including financial performance, she said.

Freeman said staff expects to bring a recommendation of a master developer in April.
