Dunwoody Homeowners Association hears presentations from developers
The Dunwoody Homeowners Association at its April 27 meeting heard from representatives regarding proposed developments, including an office conversion in the Perimeter area and a drive-through fast food restaurant in Ashford Lane.
WorkSpace representatives discussed a plan to convert a 600,000 square-foot Perimeter Center office complex into multifamily residential housing.
The proposed development would involve the conversion of an existing 14-story office building at 64 Perimeter Center East into 169 condominiums, along with the construction of 101 town homes and 119 age-restricted apartments at 66 Perimeter Center East.
At a March meeting, Peter Hansen of Workspace Property Trust and Charles Travis of Housing Studio discussed the project with about 15 attendees on the site, who voiced their support of the plan. Several members of the Dunwoody Development Authority and Dunwoody city staff attended the presentation.
The DHA board seemed generally in favor of the development, but had several questions about increased traffic to an already-congested Ashford Dunwoody Road.
Workspace has filed an application to rezone the property from Office and Industrial (OI) to Planned Development (PD), which will be heard by the city’s planning commission in June. If the application gets the green light from the city council, construction could begin as soon as the first quarter of 2026.
The board also heard from attorney Kathy Zickert representing Zaxby’s, which is attempting to build a 4,000-square-foot flagship location at the former PNC Bank location at 125 Perimeter Center West in the Ashford Lane complex.
Zaxby’s wants to include double-drive through lanes, which will require a Special Land Use Permit. Zickert said the former bank already has one drive-through lane.
Attendees at the meeting questioned whether a 10-car “stack,” meaning the number of cars in line for the drive-through on the property, would be sufficient for the demand and further congest an already overtaxed area.
Zickert said she would research the questions raised at the meeting and communicate with DHA President Tim Brown about any changes or additions to the plan.
