The redevelopment would collectively add 2,700 residential units; between 50,000 and 100,000-square-feet of restaurant cultural-focused retail; about 25,000-square-feet of commercial office space; about 12.7 acres of green space, including a central lawn with a performance space and smaller pocket park-type spaces; an international culture and community center; a 1.25-mile Ring Road greenway trail loop; a parking deck with up to five floors and about 200 parking spaces per floor.

Beauty Master sure has a prominent place in such a big redevelopment plan.

It's a shame that we don't live in an alternate timeline where MARTA was extended into Gwinnett. This would be a lot better with a MARTA station in the middle of it.

I love the look of this. It reminds me of 1960’s Miami or DC. Symmetry, simplicity and elegance. I think this will age well

Yes, I like the irregularity of the surface with both cantilevered and recessed balconies. It seems to help break up the large surface areas and makes it more interesting. It has a sort of retro modernism thing going on.

I agree. There is something about this that is pleasing to the eye.

Toro recently filed plans with local officials to turn the 43-acre site at McGinnis Ferry Road and Johns Creek Parkway into a mixed-use development called Medley, named as an homage to the city's diversity and a reference to the variety of flavors and experiences that will be offered by the project. It will be part of the suburb's larger vision for creating a 192-acre town center.

Preliminary plans for Medley include 900 residential units.

This photo perfectly sums up America. We yearn for the walkability of Europe, but we cannot kick our addiction to cars. Thus, you have a faux European facade covering up parking garages that are 5x bigger than the actual building. Astounding.

Also, this is LITERALLY a 10 min walk from the MARTA station. Even if there is no bridge over the RR tracks, MARTA could simply have a small shuttle going to and from the station every 10 min.

I never post on this site but, this is one of silliest comments I've seen. You do realize this is a Movie Production set right? Those aren't aren't even real apartments. The "parking garages" are movie sets.

Alright, I'm officially embarrassed. My bad LOL.

I was going to say that those movie & TV production studios but I didn't know that the residential was fake. That really sucks for a location that had so much potential.
