Hundreds of new housing units have taken shape in recent years near Central Perimeter MARTA transit in projects such as High Street, and that trend is continuing now. 

A partial office park redevelopment called Solis Embassy Row is under construction in Sandy Springs near both a MARTA transit station and Ga. Highway 400. 

According to project contractor Fortune-Johnson, Solis Embassy Row broke ground last month on a 6-acre site next to Embassy Row’s office mid-rises. The 6660 Peachtree Dunwoody Road site is roughly a block northwest of MARTA’s Sandy Springs station.

The mixed-use project will bring 341 market-rate apartments to Sandy Springs across two separate buildings. 

One unique aspect is that an existing parking deck will be retained and enhanced for use by residential tenants, according to Fortune-Johnson officials.

Amenities such as a rooftop lounge, forested courtyards, and a pool are in the works, in addition to retail spaces. (Renderings show a corner coffee shop at the base of one building.)
