Whole Foods Market has announced another Metro Atlanta location in Chamblee, Ga. S.J. Collins Enterprises of Fairburn, Ga. has recently signed a lease with Whole Foods Market to anchor their “Peachtree Crossing” development located at the intersection of Johnson Ferry Road and Peachtree Boulevard. The former Oxford Chemical site will be redeveloped into an 11 acre lifestyle center. Jeff Garrison, Partner at S.J. Collins Enterprises, worked closely with Chamblee’s Planning and Zoning staff, and the Chamblee City Council to obtain approvals for the Planned Unit Development. “This project is a perfect example of how public and private interests can align to help revitalize a former industrial section of Atlanta. We look forward to continuing our work with The City of Chamblee to create a new standard for retail development,” said Garrison.
According to Mayor Eric Clarkson, “The City of Chamblee has long been the forefront of working to achieve good development with smart growth design principles. The Peachtree Crossing development anchored by a top quality natural grocer, Whole Foods, exemplifies these standards.”
Jay Leslie, broker for Atlanta Land Group worked for 10 years with the owners to clear the way for the development. “I am proud to bring such a high quality development to my community,” said Jay. “This project will transform the Peachtree Boulevard Corridor.”
Mayor Clarkson states “I am very proud of the efforts of the city staff, architectural review board, and city council, working closely with S.J. Collins and Whole Foods Markets, to make this development a reality. I am excited to welcome this development to our great city.”
