Holly Springs Town Center Project Update

If you have made your way to Holly Springs via Hickory Road lately, you have seen that construction for the City's Town Center Project is moving quickly! We are confident that we have a great team working on the site and excited to see the Town Center vision begin to come to life in a true city center and community space for residents and visitors to enjoy.

Holly Springs City Council and the Downtown Development Authority awarded the Mixed-Use Sitework and Infrastructure Project for Town Center to Cumming-based Vertical Earth and Alpharetta-based Alliance Engineering + Planning. Driving the sitework is an experienced Vertical Earth team with more than two decades of experience in both public and private developments. The sitework and infrastructure project, which is expected to take 15 months to complete, will include clearing, grading, excavation, earthwork, retaining walls, and installation of various utilities and streets.

I'm also happy to announce that Atlanta-based Walton Communities will bring residential flats for lease to Holly Springs Town Center, offering walkable access to restaurants, shops, green spaces, and events. Walton plans to construct 250 one-, two-, and three-bedroom flats with a focus on modern floor plans, incredible amenities, and durable, sustainable construction, using the highest quality materials. The flats are just one of a range of residential options, both for lease and for sale, planned for the site. Based on current planning, Walton expects to begin construction at Holly Springs Town Center in the summer of 2022.

At the heart of the Holly Springs Town Center will be a new City Hall, envisioned as a 16,000 square foot, three-story brick and stone design with an iconic clock tower and charming early 20th century architecture, honoring the rich history of the community itself. Rolled out in front of it is the inviting Market Plaza and Grand Lawn, which will be perfect for festivals, markets, and community events like the City's annual Easter Egg Hunt, Autumn Fest, and Christmas Parade. At the other end of the Grand Lawn will sit a new outdoor amphitheater. On either side of the amphitheater, visitors will find more than 30,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space. Public spaces will be served with ample parking including a dedicated parking deck.
