TOLL BROTHERS/PROVIDED
Johns Creek City Council approved plans Sept. 30 for Toll Brothers to build three-story townhomes along Hospital Parkway near Emory.
City OKs 60 townhomes for Emory workforce Creekside Park tunnel project, new fire station move ahead By AMBER PERRY amber@appenmedia.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — A new set of townhomes will be constructed near Emory Johns Creek Hospital, intended to house those who work there. The Toll Brothers project calls for 60,
three-story townhomes across a dozen buildings on a 6.74-acre lot, just north of the intersection of Hospital Parkway and Medlock Bridge Road and bound by area shopping centers. The Johns Creek City Council unanimously approved the plans at its Sept. 30 meeting but requested that the facades and rooflines have variation. Future residents of the townhomes, ranging from 1,900 to 2,600 square
feet, will have access to amenities like a pocket park and more passive space. Developers also plan to create a nature park near the creek at the back of the property. The site had been zoned for a mixedused development approved in 2002, which envisioned more than 70 multifamily units above commercial space.
