DEVELOPER:
Marietta Walk is planned in two phases and includes single-family homes, townhomes and condominiums as well as office and retail space. The mixed use project, located just off Powder Springs Road on the former city owned Johnny Walker Homes site, is developed by Alpharetta based Myrick Company, LLC. The City selected Myrick to develop the approximate 11-acre mixed use site through a Request for Proposals process managed by the MRC. The project is located within walking distance of Downtown Marietta and is less than one mile from the Marietta Square and half a mile from the Hilton Atlanta/Marietta Hotel & Conference Center and City Club golf course. The project is also adjacent to Henry Memorial Park which underwent a $750,000 master planned renovation in 2008.
PROJECT DETAILS
Phase I of Marietta Walk is platted for 58 townhomes and 18 single-family detached homes. Phase II, is approved for construction of 45 condominiums and 50,000 square feet of office and retail space in two mixed-use buildings located along Powder Springs Street. The Myrick Company completed engineering and site development work and is currently marketing residential lots and conducting phase II due diligence.
