Adding to Atlanta's commercial landscape, HR solutions company TriNet is making a strategic move to occupy 150,000 square feet in High Street's town center district. The Central Perimeter market is poised to welcome 750 new job opportunities over the next five years, marking the city's largest office deal of 2025. This development follows a multi-state search for TriNet's office expansion needs, highlighting Atlanta’s push to attract business and bolster its economy.
Catherine Wragg, Chief People Officer at TriNet, emphasized the district's access to a skilled workforce stemming from proximate universities and a thriving small business ecosystem. "Throughout our search process, we had the opportunity to evaluate several potential locations and are thrilled to bring our business to Dunwoody," she said, according to the City of Dunwoody announcement. Mayor Lynn Deutsch of Dunwoody celebrated the deal, viewing it as a nod to the city's live-work appeal and a precursor to further growth and development.
The first phase of High Street has already set into motion a vibrant mixed-use community within Atlanta’s business district. GID's President, John Gagnier, described TriNet’s decision as an affirmation of High Street's design and as evidence that businesses continue to seek out dynamic neighborhoods that offer more than just office space. The plan for High Street envisions a thorough blending of retail, office, and residential spaces circled by public areas and recreational features that promise to create an interactive urban district.
"High Street continues to attract high-caliber companies and fantastic retailers," stated Wendy Adam, Senior Vice President of Commercial Asset Management at GID. Her point underscores GID's effective formula for marrying commerce with community features. As it stands, the mixed-use development project includes office space, high-end apartments, and a curated selection of shops and entertainment venues just steps away from Dunwoody MARTA Station, promising to eventually to fully integrate as a cornerstone for urban living in Atlanta.
GID, an established real estate firm managing a diverse $30.4 billion portfolio, plays a pivotal role in Atlanta's escalating prominence as a commercial hub. Its leaders are confident that the integration of High Street's residential and commercial elements will set a new standard for mixed-use developments in the region. JLL represented both the landlord and the tenant in this transaction, facilitating the significant lease agreement that will shape Dunwoody’s skyline and employment opportunities in the coming years.
