Hyatt House

SANDY SPRINGS, GA. — Legacy Ventures has opened Hyatt House Atlanta Perimeter Center located in Sandy Springs’ “Pill Hill” medical district a full two months ahead of schedule. The extended-stay hotel has 186 rooms and seeks to bring hospitality to patients and professionals visiting the area. The Hyatt House’s location benefits from The Simpson Organization’s redevelopment of Peachtree Dunwoody Pavilion, newly renamed Altmore, into a more mixed-use and walkable environment. The development features a pedestrian bridge directly to MARTA’s Medical Center Station, and Simpson also plans to add multifamily housing and a multi-use trail in a later phase of the development. The project team included Bohler, a landscape consultant and tech design services engineering firm based in Warren, N.J., as well as Atlanta-based firms Choate Construction and Cooper Carry. Bohler helped bring the project to completion ahead of schedule by looking beyond design to consider constructability and identifying potential risks and creative solutions. Hyatt House Atlanta Perimeter Center is Legacy Ventures’ fourth ground-up hotel developed in the greater Atlanta area. Ameris Bank provided the construction financing for the project.
