Mayor: North River (North End) redevelopment underway with mixed-use plans

City of Sandy Springs · September 16, 2026

Summary

The city is moving forward on the North River (North End) catalytic redevelopment; Paul said Woodfield has acquired a property and will deliver townhomes for sale, rental housing, retail, and a new park following a city study that guided the plan.

Mayor Rusty Paul gave an update on the North River Project in the city's North End, describing it as a catalytic, mixed-use redevelopment of older shopping centers.

Paul said the city commissioned a study showing how aging shopping centers could be redeveloped to better serve community goals, and that Woodfield had bought a key property and was advancing a plan that includes townhomes for sale, rental housing, restaurants and a park. He said some adjacent properties had proposals to renovate existing buildings and add small businesses.

Paul described the project as a long-anticipated transformation that is "beginning to happen" though taking longer than city leaders had hoped. He said the Hammocks building had attracted proposals for redevelopment and that a coffee shop is planned next door, signaling early activity in the North End.
