The Walk at Piedmont is a mixed-use commercial development on 5.3 acres in Marietta, Georgia. The original site plan yielded about 24,000 square feet of leasable space. Reorganizing the buildings around the topography instead of against it brought that to roughly 60,000.

This tour was shot mid-construction, so you can see how the three buildings step with the grade and where the two linear parks along Bells Ferry Road sit in the plan.

The full case study covers the site strategy, the parking study that supported a reduced count, and how the tenant mix shaped the storefronts.

Key Takeaways

Working with a 30-foot grade change instead of leveling it avoided the cut-and-fill cost of a single flat pad and more than doubled the leasable area.

A traffic engineer's parking study gave the developer a data-backed case for a lower parking count during entitlements, which is where much of the added square footage came from.
