A local developer broke ground on the first residential-retail mixed use development featuring the city's Historic Downtown overlay. Alpharetta Lofts will be a mixed-used residential and retail project near the corner of Milton Avenue and Canton Street.
Real Development plans 36 residential lofts in the top three stories of the planned building, with the ground floor devoted to retail. All of the lofts and the retail condo space is offered for sale through Power Realty Partners. Several units already were under contract even before the recent groundbreaking.
The project is near Milton Center (Old Milton High) and its historic log cabin.
Rob Forrest said it took him three years to bring the project from a concept to the groundbreaking. He worked with Alpharetta's Community Development staff to make his project meet the requirements of the Historic Downtown zoning designation and his potential buyers.
He said this project is the first mixed-use development in downtown Alpharetta. It containes 36 residential lofts and plans for four retail condos on the ground floor.
The building is a rectangle with a three-story open-air atrium. That allows Alpharetta Lofts to have ground floor, gated, covered parking. The atrium's floor – at the second story of the building – will include landscaping and a clubhouse. An elevator and stairs provide access to the upper stories.
Private balconies are available in many of the residential units. Other features include hardwood floors, sound abatement insulation, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops.
