Letter to Editor: Why cost of buying in Alpharetta has more than doubled

Josh Green

Tue, 05/27/2025 – 12:33

Editor’s note: Much has been written on these pages about recent, mind-boggling growth trends in Alpharetta, whether it be $4-million condos, European-inspired density, or the immense, made-from-scratch “urbanburb” that is Avalon. But what’s really driving the appetite to live in what could be Atlanta’s preeminent suburb—and does that show signs of cooling? For a boots-on-the-ground perspective, we turned to two agents with years of experience selling the Alpharetta dream. In the following joint Letter to the Editor, Connie Cunningham, a HomeSmart Realtor, and Mary Connell, a HomeSmart associate broker, lend context and perspective on what stands out today about the metro’s other A-town.  …Dear Editor, Located about 25 miles north of Atlanta, the City of Alpharetta has seen significant growth and development throughout the past decade. Set across approximately 27 square miles, this bustling hub has experienced a recent real estate market boom, making it one of the most sought-after investment destinations in Georgia.Take, for example, the comparative cost of homes sold from March 2018 to January 2025. The average sales price of detached Alpharetta homes in March 2018 was $422,386; in January 2025, it had climbed to $937,917—a more than 50 percent increase over nearly seven years. Today, inventory in the city is still tight, with investors flocking to the area and homes selling quickly.

Currently, there are less than 100 townhomes and condos available with prices ranging from $345,000 to $3.5 million, and a little more than 50 detached single-family homes with prices ranging from $570,000 to $7.75 million. That showcases just how competitive the market is in Alpharetta. High-profile developments in the area, good walkability, and a vibrant business community have contributed to the increased market value. Notable developmentsWhile home to modern developments, Alpharetta still maintains a small-town feel. With nearly 700 tech company hubs in the area and excellent education districts, the city has seen a surge in relocations over recent years, driven in part by community features and desirable housing options. Developments like Avalon and the downtown Alpharetta City Center, which offer urban-style living and opportunities for resident engagement, number among several popular local attractions.Avalon, in particular, has greatly contributed to the city’s growth.

Across its 86 acres, residents and visitors alike can enjoy a walkable, connected community with shopping, dining, and entertainment as well as offices and residential living. It hosts regular events, including Avalon Nights Live!, AvalOM (seasonal outdoor fitness gatherings), and Little Acorns. Residents are thrilled to have direct access to live music and interactive family and specialty events, including children’s activities and group fitness opportunities.Downtown Alpharetta features local shops, cafes and restaurants, as well as community events like farmers markets and the free Wire & Wood Songwriters Festival.Community and walkabilityAlpharetta is also home to more than 25 parks, offering some 775 acres of greenspace. A city favorite, the Wills Park Recreation Center, features sports fields with everything from disc golf to pickleball and a state-of-the-art equestrian center. There’s also the 26-mile Big Creek Greenway (nine miles of that being in Alpharetta), complete with miles of pathways for biking, walking, or rollerblading. The recently opened Alpha Loop segment—linking downtown Alpharetta, Avalon, Northwinds Summit, and North Point Mall—offers a more urban trail network with scenic views.

Future outlook Alpharetta will be even more desirable when the Horizon 2040 plan is executed, focusing on key areas like walkability, sustainability, housing, and activity centers. As this subsection of the Georgia market maintains its growth trajectory, it will continue to be a lucrative investment opportunity.

We’ve worked alongside many clients, helping them find homes in Alpharetta that meet their discerning tastes and real estate goals. Whether they’re drawn to the area’s fantastic schools, food scene, or community-wide events, Alpharetta offers something for everyone. We’d consider it one of the best locations in the metro Atlanta market—truly somewhere you’d want to live, play, and invest in….Follow us on social media: Twitter / Facebook/and now: Instagram  • Alpharetta news, discussion (Urbanize Atlanta)

Atlanta picked as first U.S. city to see inclusive new e-bike fleet

Josh Green

Tue, 05/27/2025 – 11:11

Describing Atlanta as “one of the leading micromobility cities in North America” with a growing bike infrastructure network, leaders of the world’s largest shared electric vehicle company have decided to debut their latest transportation invention in ATL before all other U.S. cities. Lime has deployed a limited number of new e-bike models in Atlanta called LimeBikes that aim to be more accessible, repairable, and enjoyable for riders in numerous ways, per the company.   Lime officials say the number of LimeBikes on Atlanta streets will be ramped up to more than 700 in coming weeks, replacing the company’s full current fleet. The models are geared toward making micromobility more accessible for women, older riders, and commuters who need extra room for storing items such as groceries, per company leaders. Atlanta was picked as the first U.S. city for LimeBike’s launch “thanks to the city’s continued investments in new infrastructure that make active travel safer and more accessible—from protected bike lanes to pedestrian-friendly paths like the Beltline,” according to an announcement today.

Lime has good reason to be bullish on the Big Peach and its growth prospects. The company has seen a 62 percent year-over-year total ridership spike in Atlanta over the same months in 2024; in the same period, e-bike ridership has grown more than 105 percent, per the company. (Lime, the largest micromobility provider in Atlanta, has logged 650,000 e-scooter trips and 86,000 e-bike trips in the city so far this year—and more than 5.5 million rides since the company launched here in 2018.) Key changes to LimeBikes will help riders who struggle to pedal for extended periods or those looking for more comfortable replacements for car trips, per company officials. Those include: Smaller, 20-inch wheels meant to feel more compact and approachable, with a step-through frame that makes mounting and dismounting easier;Wider front baskets for carrying larger items; baskets are also positioned lower for better turning when they’re full;Repositioned battery for a lower center of gravity to help with maneuverability and stability;Enhanced onboard tech that improves location accuracy and helps quickly identify location-based parking spots, in addition to low-speed, restricted-access, or no-parking zones;Tires that are 2.5-inches wide for stronger traction, especially in when conditions;Ergonomic hand grips designed to reduce fatigue;A new ergonomic clamp design that makes it easier for riders to change seat heights;A modular design that makes LimeBikes the company’s “most repairable vehicles to date,” per Lime.Carol Antúnez, Lime’s senior manager of government relations, said additional investments in the Atlanta market—including more staff, “smarter operations,” and “continued rider education to promote safe use and tidy parking”—will be geared toward beefing up services here. More broadly, Lime plans to deploy more than 10,000 LimeGlider e-scooters and LimeBike vehicles in coming months across about a dozen cities in Europe and North America. The costs of riding Lime vehicles vary in each city.

Massive Cypress Grove development is officially a go

Josh Green

Fri, 05/23/2025 – 14:24

Due west of Midtown and Atlanta’s largest greenspace, the initial phase of a massive residential project that could eventually bring hundreds of new residents to the area is underway. Land-clearing has recently kicked off for a project called Cypress Grove that’s set to swap 20 wooded acres for a mix of townhomes, apartments, and commercial space in Grove Park. All told, Cypress Grove calls for 755 total units to take shape on and around 988 Cato St. and 1005 Gun Club Road on the western fringes of Grove Park, just north of Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway. The site is straight west of Westside Park (now Shirley Clarke Franklin Park), which opened its first phase to acclaim in 2021.Cypress Grove also calls for a new public pedestrian trail along the site’s southern border. The PATH Foundation hopes to eventually link that trail with the scenic Proctor Creek Greenway.

According to Joel Bowman of project designer B+C Studios, site development for both Cypress Grove phase one and two is now underway. But the vertical construction schedule calls for two different timelines. The first component to see construction will be 70 townhomes—each with three bedrooms and two and ½ bathrooms in about 1,400 square feet—with seven of them reserved as affordable housing.Also in the initial phase is the first section of the paved trail, plus a small community park at the corner of Hollywood Road and Mildred Place. Plans call for delivering that in summer 2026. The next round of housing, scheduled to open in spring 2027, calls for another 51 townhomes (six of those reserved as affordable housing) and 292 apartments, with at least 15 percent reserved as affordable at 80 percent of the area median income, according to Bowman. No rent prices at Cypress Grove have been specified.

According to the Atlanta Regional Commission, which evaluated Cypress Grove as part of a Development of Regional Impact filing in 2023, the project will be limited to 193 townhomes and 562 multifamily units total.A revised masterplan provided by Bowman this week shows a standalone commercial building is also planned for a future phase. ARC officials stressed in 2023 the project should include a “generous” amount of bicycle parking spaces, alongside more than 1,500 spaces planned for vehicles, to encourage multi-modal transportation in the area. Several MARTA bus stops along Hollywood Road could help Cypress Grove residents with alternate transportation, the ARC noted, adding: “the city should coordinate with the developer and MARTA on the realignment and improvement of these stops as needed.”

Two-stage live music venue to claim Underground Atlanta parking garage

Options for catching live shows around intown Atlanta just keep coming. Following the announcement this month that megaproject Centennial Yards has signed a 5,300-capacity Live Nation music venue (and the advent of The Eastern and other venues in recent years), Underground Atlanta revealed today a familiar Midtown name, Ravine, plans to claim a considerably large space downtown soon.  Ravine is partnering with Underground owner Lalani Ventures to open a two-stage, 181,000-square-foot live music and performance venue called Ravine at Underground. Ravine formerly operated from 2018 to the pandemic doldrums of 2021 at the building where Peachtree Street meets 11th Street, currently home to Prime on Peachtree. Designed for “high-energy, large-scale” performances, Ravine will mark the largest live venue at Underground to date, according to Underground officials. The space Ravine is taking previously functioned as a parking garage, where global artists such as Diplo and Tiësto performed last year for more than 5,000 attendees each. Plans call for event space both indoors and outdoors. One stage will be able to host up to 6,000 attendees (for context, the Fox Theatre’s capacity is 4,665) and the other 2,500 people.Underground reps tell Urbanize Atlanta plans call for the first Ravine concerts to happen downtown this fall.

Shaneel Lalani, Lalani Ventures CEO, said “an exciting lineup of artists set to take the stage” is already in place at the “iconic music hall,” with ticket sales expected to roll out soon. “It will be a vibrant space to celebrate culture and community,” Lalani said in an announcement, “with the capacity to welcome a large crowd of concertgoers.”While in Midtown, Ravine hosted notable artists such as Kaskade, Eric Prydz, Dom Dolla, and Charlotte de Witte, along with private gatherings with the likes of Maroon 5, Lil Baby, and 2 Chainz. Ravine will follow the much-hyped debut earlier this year of MJQ nightclub in the former Dante’s Down the Hatch space. It will also join Underground entertainment options including four-venue concert hall The Masquerade, a 30,000-square-foot event hall, and The Frisky Whisker, a sound gallery and art space that features a cat research and therapy center.

Lalani’s goal is to position Underground as Atlanta’s go-to entertainment and nightlife option ahead of the city’s full month of FIFA World Cup matches next summer. Underground drew more than 1 million visitors in 2024 and is on pace to eclipse that this year. Additional retail, dining, and “daytime experiences” are also in the works, per officials. Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens added in Underground’s announcement the district’s growth reflects his administration’s broader goal for a “renaissance” downtown. “A thriving, safe downtown benefits our economy, businesses, [Georgia State University] students and faculty, current residents, visitors, and our city’s ability to keep having major events and conventions choose Atlanta,” said Dickens.

Options for catching live shows around intown Atlanta just keep coming. Following the announcement this month that megaproject Centennial Yards has signed a 5,300-capacity Live Nation music venue (and the advent of The Eastern and other venues in recent years), Underground Atlanta revealed today a familiar Midtown name, Ravine, plans to claim a considerably large space downtown soon.  Ravine is partnering with Underground owner Lalani Ventures to open a two-stage, 181,000-square-foot live music and performance venue called Ravine at Underground. Ravine formerly operated from 2018 to the pandemic doldrums of 2021 at the building where Peachtree Street meets 11th Street, currently home to Prime on Peachtree. Designed for “high-energy, large-scale” performances, Ravine will mark the largest live venue at Underground to date, according to Underground officials. The space Ravine is taking previously functioned as a parking garage, where global artists such as Diplo and Tiësto performed last year for more than 5,000 attendees each. Plans call for event space both indoors and outdoors. One stage will be able to host up to 6,000 attendees (for context, the Fox Theatre’s capacity is 4,665) and the other 2,500 people.Underground reps tell Urbanize Atlanta plans call for the first Ravine concerts to happen downtown this fall.

Shaneel Lalani, Lalani Ventures CEO, said “an exciting lineup of artists set to take the stage” is already in place at the “iconic music hall,” with ticket sales expected to roll out soon. “It will be a vibrant space to celebrate culture and community,” Lalani said in an announcement, “with the capacity to welcome a large crowd of concertgoers.”While in Midtown, Ravine hosted notable artists such as Kaskade, Eric Prydz, Dom Dolla, and Charlotte de Witte, along with private gatherings with the likes of Maroon 5, Lil Baby, and 2 Chainz. Ravine will follow the much-hyped debut earlier this year of MJQ nightclub in the former Dante’s Down the Hatch space. It will also join Underground entertainment options including four-venue concert hall The Masquerade, a 30,000-square-foot event hall, and The Frisky Whisker, a sound gallery and art space that features a cat research and therapy center.

Lalani’s goal is to position Underground as Atlanta’s go-to entertainment and nightlife option ahead of the city’s full month of FIFA World Cup matches next summer. Underground drew more than 1 million visitors in 2024 and is on pace to eclipse that this year. Additional retail, dining, and “daytime experiences” are also in the works, per officials. Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens added in Underground’s announcement the district’s growth reflects his administration’s broader goal for a “renaissance” downtown. “A thriving, safe downtown benefits our economy, businesses, [Georgia State University] students and faculty, current residents, visitors, and our city’s ability to keep having major events and conventions choose Atlanta,” said Dickens.

Atlanta’s Largest Engineering Firms

The 20 largest engineering firms in Atlanta reported more than $1.44 billion in 2024 engineering billings from offices located in the 20-county metro Atlanta area. The online version of this ranking expands beyond what appears in print; another 30 engineering firms are included in our digital rankings, in addition to the 20 featured in this week’s print edition. This week’s List is part of a shift in our research methodology and philosophy in 2025, one that will emphasize more data and context for readers while better coordinating the resources available to us and our 46 sister publications under the American City Business Journals flag. We anticipate this effort will identify thousands of new local records — and cumulatively, tens of thousands of new businesses across ACBJ’s footprint. Information on The List was supplied by individual firms through questionnaires. Additionally, companies that did not respond to employment surveys but were still included on this year’s List are sorted by estimated total employment figures derived annual filings with the U.S. Department of Labor.
