Sandy Springs Approves 421-Unit North River Redevelopment

Woodfield Development's mixed-use redevelopment of North River Shopping Center at 8830 Roswell Road in Sandy Springs has been approved. The project will deliver 421 units, 336 apartments and 85 for-sale townhomes, with retail and restaurant space, replacing the existing shopping center. Construction is expected to begin later in 2026.

Plans include a 70-space public lot for park visitors. Public amenities include a park, two playgrounds, open turf, shaded porch seating, public restrooms, a live music flex space, and native landscaping.

The site sits on the Roswell Road corridor, a major north-south arterial connecting to GA-400 and I-285. MARTA bus service runs along Roswell Road with connections to the Red Line's Sandy Springs station.

Correction, Oct. 21, 2026: An earlier version of this story gave a five-story height, a Dec. 31, 2029 completion pushed back from 2028, and 70 parking spaces on site. The city has given no height or completion date, construction is expected to begin later in 2026, and the 70-space lot serves the public park.
