A development group announced, today, that a $100 million mixed use development will be built in Marietta on a 20 acre build site along Powder Springs Street between Garrison Road and Sandtown Road. The development will consist of about 1/3 high end residential housing. Also included, will be a national grocery chain, although which national chain will reside their has not yet been determined.

I do not have the exact breakdown of what’s going to be built in the Marietta Mercantile Exchange. So far I have seen announcements for class A office space, high-end residential flats and townhomes and a “neighborhood retail mix”.

There is a new infill community being built right next to Pope High School on Hembree Road. It’s called Ansley Creek and will consist of 20 luxury manor homes. The builder plans to combine old world designs influenced by French Country, English Manor and Traditional Southern architecture. The developer is going to create outdoor living spaces, nature trails and leave a good bit of the development as green space.

The homes will feature three car garages, custom kitchens and incredible master suites. The pricing will start in the $800,000’s. I will get some pictures up ASAP, but if you would like more information about this East Cobb neighborhood or information on East Cobb real estate in general, please call me.
