Huge High Street development near Dunwoody Marta Station looks to working within original conditions of zoning put in place many years ago.

Back in August, the long-awaited High Street Development dropped off the initial plans for the land disturbance permit for phase 1 at Dunwoody City Hall.  I know that High Street is getting close to breaking ground so last week I met with Dunwoody Community Development department to assure myself that High Street is complying with the original DeKalb conditions of zoning.  If High Street wanted to change what DeKalb County had originally allowed before incorporation, they would need to come before the Dunwoody City Council for discussion and decision.  From what I have seen to date, High Street intends to work within the broad outline of the original allowances. Therefore this project will not be coming in front of the City Council.

The extensive plans are listed below, but it was the initial conditions that DeKalb put upon the project that I was most interested in reviewing with Dunwoody staff.

If you are into downloading huge files and reviewing technical drawings, enjoy.

News Article by the Dunwoody Reporter Dyana Bagby from Aug 23, 2019

GID and North American Properties have proposed the $2 billion development on about 42 acres in Perimeter Center. It would total 8 million square feet of mixed-use development, including 400,000 square feet of shopping and chef-driven dining; 635,000 square feet of Class A office space; and a 400-room hotel. A small public park area is included in the central area. The scope of the first phase is to build four blocks of mixed-use development, parking decks, private internal streets, and stormwater pipes and other utilities. The development has been zoned for 3,000 residential units, but the first phase shows just one 8-story apartment tower being built with 600 units. The plans for the first phase also include construction of 200,000 square feet of retail.
