ROSWELL, GA. — Duke Land Group has unveiled preliminary plans for Riverwalk Village, a 104-acre mixed-use development in Roswell. The project will be located between Georgia 400 and Old Alabama Road. Approximately 43 percent of the land will be preserved as open space, including parks, public spaces, pedestrian-oriented zones and a system of walking and biking trails that will connect Riverwalk Village and surrounding neighborhoods to the Chattahoochee River. The project’s developers plan to construct open channel streams to an existing lake on the site, which will be surrounded with boardwalks, restaurants and retailers. The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) will review the proposed site plan, which calls for 1,500 residential units, including single-family attached, multifamily and active adult housing; 490,000 square feet of general commercial real estate including retail, restaurant, entertainment and grocery; 1.7 million square feet of office space; a 200-room hotel; and 200,000 square feet of civic and institutional space including the Swift School, a school for children with language-based learning differences. Pending zoning and permits, construction is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2015.
