Since the onset of Covid, mixed-use developers have had to reevaluate their approach to office space requirements. The widespread adoption of hybrid work arrangements during the pandemic has resulted in a decrease in traditional office leasing. As a result, there has been a shift towards repurposing unused space.
Originally entitled for 729,600 square feet of office and 33,586 square feet of retail at the State Farm campus in Dunwoody, KDC is now proposing 300 residential units and a hotel with 175 rooms instead. In addition to this change in use for some areas originally designated for offices and retail spaces.
According to reports from Atlanta Business Chronicle , KDC’s partners are considering renting out apartments as corporate housing options for employees who frequently travel. It should be noted that this project will not include any designated affordable housing units. Approval from Dunwoody City Council is expected regarding these changes.
