North End Redevelopment

Sandy Springs hosted a Public Open House on the North End Shopping Center Revitalization Plan Development Code Amendments at Lost Corner Preserve on November 4, 2021.

Following a multi-year planning and public input process, the City of Sandy Springs proposed development code changes to guide future growth and implement the revitalization priorities identified in the North End Revitalization Plan.

The open house provided the community with an opportunity to review the proposed development code changes and provide input. There was no formal presentation; however, City representatives were available to discuss the proposed amendments and answer questions.

One of City Council’s adopted priorities is North End redevelopment, with goals to:

• Encourage reinvestment along Roswell Road in the north end of Sandy Springs
• Enhance the quality and variety of housing, retail, and amenities in the area
• Improve the quality of life for all Sandy Springs residents

Conceptual Plans

The City awarded a contract to TSW Design to develop conceptual plans for four focus properties in the North End. These sites were selected based on their access to Roswell Road and their size, which is sufficient to support potential mixed-use redevelopment opportunities.

TSW Design created three conceptual master plans for each of the four focus properties. Each plan includes an economic analysis based on market conditions and evaluates the financial feasibility of adding additional households within the district.
