High Street, TriNet announce lease within mixed-use oasis By HAYDEN SUMLIN hayden@appenmedia.com
HIGH STREET/PROVIDED
California-based TriNet reports it’s signing a 150,000-square-foot office lease within GID Development Group’s mixed-use district High Street.
DUNWOODY, Ga. — Hours after announcing TriNet’s 150,000-square-foot lease at High Street May 15, journalists and culinary influencers toured restaurants and entertainment venues. While the heart of Dunwoody is the Village at Mount Vernon and Chamblee Dunwoody roads, the mixed-use area between Perimeter Center West and Hammond Drive is offering
something new. The vision for the High Street masterplan is to create an urban district incorporating a variety of commercial uses set among plazas, water features, restaurants, outdoor dining and retail. Instead of surface parking lots, High Street has decks that blend into the district’s mid-rises which are full of retail, chef-driven dining, luxury residences and lofted office space.

DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Dunwoody City Council began mapping plans May 12 for additional street maintenance this summer thanks to a boost in funding from the state. Public Works Director Michael Smith said the city’s 2025 paving program is already underway, with completion set for August. Smith said the Georgia Department of Transportation is offering additional Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant funding, estimated around $617,000. Each year, the city receives the state funding, based on roadway mileage and population, which it mostly applies to paving city-owned streets. “There are some different criteria for using that money,” Smith said. “The process is we have to apply for those additional funds … what Public Works is recommending is that we use $350,000 for additional paving.”
