Board approves Mattress Warehouse façade refresh and landscaping, requires black standing-seam roofs and dumpster gate upgrades

The City of Alpharetta Design Review Board granted approval to the Mattress Warehouse exterior and landscape plans for the outparcel of the Northpointe shopping center on July 18, 2025, with conditions tied to materials, roof color and landscape replacement. Lee Rogers, representing Brixmor (property owner), and architect Holden Holly described a façade refresh that retains the brick water table, repaints the upper brick in Sherwin-Williams Shoji White, replaces existing solarium roofs with standing-seam roofs, and installs updated storefronts. The board approved the elevations subject to conditions: patching previous sign penetrations in the masonry; removal of existing gooseneck sign fixtures and patching holes with the intent of using halo-lit signage for future tenant signs; removing a rooftop HVAC unit visible from the parking lot; and painting all standing-seam roof areas black instead of the presented Sherwin-Williams “Cityscape.” The motion also required replacement of the dumpster gates with a composite material finished to match the Sherwin-Williams Cityscape color. The board also approved the proposed landscape plan with conditions: swap the ruby loropetalum proposed along the trash enclosure for emerald green arborvitae (or an equivalent screening species); any relocated trees that fail must be replaced; and any landscape damaged during construction must be restored at the developer’s expense. The board recorded two motions—one approving exterior elevations/materials (motion by F. Rowan, second by J. Sprayberry) and a second approving landscaping with the conditions (motion by J. Sprayberry, second by D. Corkle); both passed 6-0. The applicant said the tenant build-out aims for an opening in late November 2025 and that final signage will be submitted through the sign-permit process.
