According to a recent article in the AJC, Oxford Properties is planning a mixed-use project in Sandy Springs. Located Southwest of Perimeter Mall, the project would include 395 apartments and 90,000 square feet of space for restaurants, retail and offices.

The site is in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Hammond Drive and Peachtree-Dunwoody Road. The developer is Oxford Properties, according to a report filed with the state Department of Community Affairs.

Sandy Springs, like other close-in suburbs, is experiencing a trend of proposed developments that would fill in vacant land and parking lots. The largest such redevelopment in Sandy Springs is One River Place, a residential development near the Chattahoochee River that’s built on the site of a former office park.
