Wayfair To Open Second-Ever Physical Store In Former Atlanta Walmart
Wayfair To Open Second-Ever Physical Store In Former Atlanta Walmart
Online furniture and decor giant Wayfair is opening its second brick-and-mortar location on Atlanta’s Westside.
Wayfair leased 150K SF at The District at Howell Mill, a shopping center at 1801 Howell Mill Road, the retailer announced Friday, taking the former Walmart box that the world’s largest retailer permanently shuttered in 2024 after a fire was set inside the store.
Given the location’s proximity to Wayfair’s McDonough distribution center, the retailer said it will be able to deliver larger items like sofas to customers who shop at the Howell Mill location faster.
It will be Boston-based Wayfair’s second-ever retail store after its first location in the affluent northern Chicago suburb…

Following more than two years of construction, a scenic trail project that puts patrons uniquely close to nature is set to officially debut north of Atlanta.
The PATH Foundation has scheduled a ribbon-cutting ceremony next Friday, May 2, for what’s called the Sandy Springs Springway Trail Phase 2A.
The “picturesque” project spans 1.88 miles, providing access to the Chattahoochee River and an off-street connection between Morgan Falls Overlook Park and the point where Roswell Road meets Cimarron Way. That’s about five miles north of Sandy Springs City Center.

Included in this phase of the Springway Trail is an eight to 12-foot-wide multiuse, paved pathway, along with pedestrian bridges, roadway realignments, landscaping, and trail signage, according to PATH Foundation officials.
But the highlight has to be a sweeping boardwalk structure across Orkin Lake, situated just east of the Chattahoochee.
Construction on the project—a team effort by the City of Sandy Springs, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Program, PATH Foundation, and the Sandy Springs Conservancy—began in late 2022. It’s the first segment of a much larger web of trails eventually planned for the area.
According to PATH Foundation officials, the project cost $8.5 million and was partially covered by a $3 million Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Program Grant.

Heads up, Atlanta: Car-free street party season begins Sunday.
The Atlanta Department of Transportation and Propel ATL have teamed up to launch the beginning of Atlanta Streets Alive’s Spring 2025 season April 27 on the time-tested and fan-favorite Peachtree Street route.
Following its winter hibernation (since mid-November), Streets Alive will start 2025 by reimagining the 2.8 miles of Peachtree Street between the oldest blocks of downtown to Midtown near the High Museum of Art.
More specifically, that’s from Alabama Street to 15th Street.
On May 18, the festivities will shift south of Interstate 20. That southside route is even longer (about three and ½ miles), opening Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard and Georgia Avenue from West End to Grant Park, with Mechanicsville and Summerhill’s commercial district in between.
The route for three Atlanta Streets Alive programs in late 2024 between Gordon-White Park (left) and Grant Park. Propel ATL
Then on June 22, Peachtree will “once again transform into a canvas for movement, play, and connection,” per Propel ATL officials.
Six different events on those routes last year—linking together seven different neighborhoods—drew more than 93,000 attendees. The dates and locations of more open-streets block parties for beyond June will be detailed soon, per organizers.
To recap, the first 2025 Streets Alive dates to be announced are as follows, with each event planned from 2 to 6 p.m.:
Sunday, April 27 – Peachtree Street
Sunday, May 18 – Grant Park to West End
Sunday, June 22 – Peachtree Street
Atlanta Bicycle Coalition (now Propel ATL) originated Streets Alive, inspired by ciclovía events in Bogotá, Colombia and other cities. The Atlanta phenomenon began meagerly one day in 2010 when a stretch of Edgewood Avenue opened to bicyclists, skaters, walkers, and anyone else not driving a car. Over the next decade, Streets Alive staged 29 events and covered some 83 miles of city streets, drawing an estimated 1.7 million people total.
The final pre-hiatus event was held on Peachtree in 2019, before going dormant through pandemic years as logistics for a more frequent Streets Alive were worked out with ATLDOT and other city leaders.
Josh Green/Urbanize Atlanta
After the four-year hiatus, Streets Alive made a festive return in September 2023, opening Peachtree from south of Underground Atlanta up to 15th Street in Midtown, which had proven one of the most popular routes over the years.
Last year, six different Streets Alive events marked a record for a single year, with the previous high mark being four in 2016. Sounds like that title could fall in 2025.

California-inspired, 7-building retail hub bound for Alpharetta

A north OTP retail project with designs that set it apart from humdrum suburban shopping nodes is coming near the growing heart of Alpharetta, project leaders announced Thursday.
Officials with Dallas-based global real estate firm Lincoln Property Company say the seven-building, 43,700-square-foot retail development will anchor a rising mixed-use community called The Gathering near both Avalon and Alpharetta City Center.
Dubbed “The Shoppes at The Gathering,” the retail hub will include buildings ranging from 4,225 to 8,400 square feet for either single or multiple tenants, with designs inspired by “the casual architectural elegance found in Napa Valley,” according to Lincoln officials.
Beyond shops and eateries, components will include a lawn area designed for events and live music, with high visibility along Haynes Bridge Road, per officials. Alpharetta’s plans call for weaving a section of the Alpha Loop multi-purpose trail through The Gathering eventually.

The site is just north of Ga. Highway 400’s exit 9, about a mile south of downtown Alpharetta. Part of the North Point Overlay District, it’s surrounded by regional attractions and landmarks that include Avalon, Ameris Bank Amphitheater, and North Point Mall, where plans for luring an NHL franchise appear to be on ice but redevelopment momentum continues.
According to Lincoln officials, site work on The Shoppes at The Gathering is underway, and vertical construction is slated to start this fall. The full project is expected to deliver in the fourth quarter of 2026.
“The development’s proximity to downtown Alpharetta offers walkability in a traditionally suburban market,” said Tony Bartlett, Lincoln’s executive vice president and Atlanta market leader, in an announcement. “[That] will help us curate the development and attract best-in-class local and national retailers and eateries looking to expand their footprint or enter this growing market.”

Beyond the retail flank, The Gathering (formerly called Morrison Park) calls for 144 townhomes and 37 detached single-family lots, according to the city. Longtime intown developer Brock Built is building the residential component across two phases.
Available townhomes at The Gathering start in the $620,000s. That buys two bedrooms and three and ½ bathrooms (and a single garage space) in 1,644 square feet. Standalone home plans there currently climb north of $1.5 million.
“Homeowners and prospective buyers want a connected, amenity-rich community, and having walkable retail right outside their front door makes this one of the most desirable places to live in Alpharetta,” added Brock Built’s Adam Brock.
According to Lincoln officials, leasing for The Shoppes at The Gathering will be handled by Franklin Street and Centennial.
Closer to Atlanta’s core, Lincoln is most recently known for developing the Echo Street West project in English Avenue, where the company offloaded the office portion in late 2024.

If you adore Atlanta’s marquee greenspace today, just imagine if—or when—all of this comes to fruition.
Following more than 30 public engagement events, 1,500 surveys from Atlantans, and extensive fundraising efforts that netted more than $3 million, Piedmont Park’s first Comprehensive Plan in 25 years was officially uncloaked during a landmark event today.
More than 500 guests, stakeholders, and park supporters gathered for The Piedmont Park Conservancy’s 28th Annual Landmark Luncheon—an event that took in another $500,000 in contributions. Coined “The Big Reveal,” the unveiling of the comprehensive plan outlined how Atlanta’s most-visited park could expand and evolve in coming years, in terms of functionality, access, and some truly unique features.
The plan, as designed by Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects, calls for a major park expansion at Piedmont Avenue and Monroe Drive, a restored Lake Clara Meer with sweeping boardwalks, a nature-based feature called the Clear Creek Walk, and a redesigned Active Oval. (A smaller feature that’s among our personal favorites: the Meadow Overlook with a picnic shelter and concessions, overlooking downtown and Midtown skylines near Park Tavern.)
Doug Widener, Piedmont Park Conservancy president and CEO, called the plan “the most ambitious roadmap we’ve seen in decades” in an announcement.

Funding for actually implementing the grand vision is pending, but according to architects, the initial phase of design and construction will likely be at The Commons—that is, the expansion of the northern edge of the site, where Piedmont Avenue and Monroe Drive meet—and along Clear Creek.
“If fundraising goals are achieved,” notes the report, “the first phase of implementation is expected to start in 2027 with completion in 2029.”
The full Comprehensive Plan—a bona fide utopia for urban-planning wonks—is here. We’ve cherrypicked some detailed highlights below, with more images in the gallery above.
