In Alpharetta, another sea of surface parking is getting drafted into the housing game. McKinley Homes is moving ahead with plans to replace part of the Deerfield Point office park’s asphalt with more than 100 for-sale condos, plus new street-level retail aimed squarely at the Windward and Avalon crowd.
What's Planned
According to Connected Alpharetta, the city signed off in mid-April on a comprehensive land-use amendment, rezoning and a variance that clear the way for the project. McKinley Homes intends to build a 110-unit, for-sale condominium building and roughly 5,000 square feet of ground-floor retail on existing parking lots beside the campus’s two office towers, per Atlanta Business Chronicle.
Where It Sits
The Deerfield Point campus is listed at 12725 and 12735 Morris Road, set back from GA‑400 and a short drive from Avalon and Windward Parkway, according to the property’s leasing brochure. That brochure also notes two four-story Class A office buildings totaling roughly 208,659 rentable square feet and maps out the surface-parking parcels where the condo building is slated to land. For a closer look at the layout, see the leasing materials in the Deerfield Point brochure.
Developer Background and Timing
McKinley Homes, based in Peachtree Corners, has been an active player across metro Atlanta with projects such as the Seven88 West Midtown tower and the Array townhome community, per Urbanize Atlanta. So far, city and project documents have not pinned down a construction start date, leaving the timeline to be sorted out during permitting and design review.
Part Of A Wider Push
Alpharetta officials have framed the Deerfield Point plan as part of a larger push to turn dated, parking-heavy office parks into walkable, amenity-rich districts. Similar, higher-profile efforts around North Fulton, including Portman Holdings' Brookside Village and the Continuum project, reflect the same shift, according to Georgia Trend.
For now, council approvals simply open the door for designers to lock in site plans and for McKinley to chase permits. The city’s project notice indicates that there is still no public construction timetable, so details such as unit mix, pricing and a firm build schedule will have to wait until permit filings and further public review move ahead.
