Property Across From The Forum May Be Developed

An Atlanta-based company is interested in developing the Peachtree Corners property on Peachtree Corners Circle and Peachtree Parkway into a specialty retail center.

If you've driven by the intersection of Peachtree Parkway and Peachtree Corners Circle, the blue and white sign announcing a new development on that corner has probably caught your eye.

The sign announces that a new "speciality retail development" called "Peachtree Corners Place" is planned for the corner across the street from Dreamland restaurant.

An Atlanta-based company, Fuqua Development, has its eye on the property. Patch spoke briefly with Jeff Fuqua, spokesman for the company who said the company was in the early planning stages.

"It's premature to talk about the development," said Fuqua. "We are about a month a way from announcing solid plans."

The company's website shows preliminary plans for a specialty retail development to be "anchored by a natural food grocery store, a bank, restaurants and small shops."
