Help Virtually Design The Future Of The North End Community

SANDY SPRINGS, GA — As a follow-up to the in person March 5 public input meeting, the City of Sandy Springs will be conducting online design activities to seek further input as part of the process to create mixed-use, conceptual master plans for four shopping centers in the North End of Sandy Springs:

• Former Loehmann’s Plaza-8610 Roswell Road
• Northridge Shopping Center-8331 Roswell Road
• North River Shopping Center-8765 Roswell Road
• North Springs Shopping Center-7330 Roswell Road

The online design activities will be open through Friday, June 19. There will be a video short introduction, followed by the design activities. It will take about 5-10 minutes to complete. The results will be used to help design conceptual master plans for the four shopping centers.

The concept plans are intended to illustrate how the community’s vision for reimaging the North End can be realized through a variety of recommendations, uses, and intensities for the four shopping centers within the study area. The designs are not development proposals by the property owners, but rather illustrative concepts that might spur the highest and best uses of key properties in this redevelopment area.

• Ensure a variety of housing options to accommodate all types of residences.
• Attract and support local small businesses in the North End.
• Improve multimodal connectivity throughout the North End, starting with the four sites and Roswell Road.
• Model how mixed-use (retail, office, housing, and institutional uses, and green space) environments can work in Sandy Springs.
• Build upon existing green spaces and parks to create a cohesive public space network.
