New 56-unit mixed-use development coming to Peachtree Corners

Peachtree Corners Circle Lofts to be built across from the Forum

Atlanta developer and former Fulton County Sheriff candidate Ben Cowart recently got the green light from the city of Peachtree Corners to develop a 6-story, 56-unit tower on 6.8 acres at 4779 Peachtree Corners Circle. Although the project has been approved for rezoning from light industrial to multi-use development with several conditions, the company has yet to submit a land disturbance permit.

The ordinance provides for the following: 

• The development must include residential, restaurant and public trail.
• The development must have up to 56 multi-family, for sale condominium units which must meet minimum standards. No more than 20% of the units may be rented.
• There must be a minimum 2,000 square foot restaurant located on either a ground floor or roof.
• The developer must provide sidewalk connectivity between the building and trail system and provide pedestrian sidewalk connections to Peachtree Corners Circle. It will be paid for by the developer and then the land will be donated to the city.
• The development will include no more than one right-in/right-out only vehicular access point but will have the flexibility necessary if the potential roundabout is built.

The developer plans underground parking and units ranging in price from $600,000 to $1.5 million.

During a public discussion last year about the development, the potential for a roundabout at the Forum entrance which would affect the entrance and exit to the project was discussed.

Cowart is the son of the late Jim Cowart, who developed many of the five-four-and-a-door homes in Peachtree Corners and Dunwoody.
