Alpharetta developer preparing for construction of retail, dining space By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A developer will soon begin the first phase of a project to revamp the gateway to downtown Alpharetta and is considering its options on how a second phase should proceed. Alpharetta-based developer Alpharetta District Places is
preparing to start construction at the end of May on 2.4 acres along Roswell Street between Old Milton Parkway and Marietta Street. Plans call for about 34,000 square feet of retail space that will “match the residential scale and architectural character of the downtown Alpharetta Heritage District,” the developer said.
Erik Rowen, Alpharetta District Places partner, said his partnership is excited to move forward with the project and anticipates move-ins by mid2027. “We’re focusing on growing the pie in downtown Alpharetta, not dividing it,” he said.

The bus operates daily from 6 a.m. until midnight, and the fare is free through May 2 when it will increase to $2.50. The North Fulton Reach Zone is bound by Mansell Road, Commerce Highway, Old Roswell Road, Holcomb Bridge Road, Dogwood Road and Old Alabama Road.
