Dunwoody City Council voted 6-0 on Oct. 26, 2026 to let developer GID replace a planned seven-story apartment building on Block 6 of High Street with up to five commercial buildings, including flagship stores around a public plaza of at least 6,000 square feet. No retailers or groundbreaking date have been announced.
What’s changing at High Street in Dunwoody?
It’s official. Dunwoody City Council voted 6-0 on Oct. 26 to approve a new plan for the heart of High Street, the $2 billion, 36-acre development at Perimeter Center Parkway and Hammond Drive, minutes from the Dunwoody MARTA station. Only phase one is built. Phase two covers blocks five and six of the 10-block site.
What will Block 6 at High Street look like?
Block 6 was planned as a seven-story apartment building. Now developer GID can build up to five commercial buildings with up to 140,000 square feet total and no more than 60,000 square feet of office. The plan shows three buildings for flagship retailers around a public plaza of at least 6,000 square feet, with underground parking and a stair entrance from Perimeter Center Parkway.
Mayor Lynn Deutsch said people driving by “see two big walls” and don’t know what’s there. GID says the change will “open up the heart of High Street,” according to Rough Draft Atlanta and the North Atlanta Star.
If you’ve driven down Perimeter Center Parkway, you know exactly what the mayor means. From the road, High Street is two big walls. A plaza in the middle gives people a reason to walk in.
Who is building High Street?
GID is the developer. Fun fact: North American Properties, the developer behind Avalon in Alpharetta, partnered with GID on High Street in 2018 before pulling out in 2019. Phase one is already home to about 600 apartments, Rosetta Bakery and Varuni Napoli.
When will High Street phase 2 be built?
