BING MAPS
A luxury hotel, planned for an area near Peachtree-Dunwoody
Road, Mount Vernon Highway and Abernathy Road in Sandy
Springs, has been on hold since before 2009. To see a larger
version of this map, go to ReporterNewspapers.net.
It’ll be a swell luxury hotel, if it ever
gets built.
The Grand Bohemian, a 275-room,
four-star luxury hotel, has been on hold
since before 2009. It’s supposed to be lo
cated on the east side of Peachtree-Dun
woody Road, north of Mount Vernon
Highway and south of Abernathy Road
in Sandy Springs.
The developers, Kessler Grand Bohe
mian Atlanta LLC, received a land dis
turbance permit and were approved for
financial incentives from the city of San
dy Springs. What the developers lacked,
however, was financing for the $100
million project.
Sandy Springs City Council has ap
proved six extensions of Kessler’s land
disturbance permit for the hotel, most
recently at its Sept. 3 meeting.
City officials and the developer’s at
torney, Joe Foltz, both sounded opti
mistic the project would eventually find
backers.
“We have submitted letters from two
of our lead construction lenders,” Foltz
told City Council. “This is not a reflec
tion on Sandy Springs. What we’re see
ing is a coming back of the luxury seg
ment of construction lending.”
City Council has approved each ex
tension without complaint, and usually
with some well-wishes.
“We had heard rumors that the Bo
hemian was going away,” Councilman
Tibby Dejulio said before voting to ap
prove the recent extension. “I’m glad
that’s not the case.”
City Councilman Gabriel Ster
ling said on Sept. 17 that while small
er projects have had an easier time find
ing banks willing to support them, the
Grand Bohemian’s size has kept it on the
drawing board. He said Sandy Springs
and the Perimeter need a luxury hotel
like the one Kessler wants to build.
Until the financing becomes avail
able, City Council looks likely to con
tinue giving Kessler an opportunity to
deliver.
“The project itself is going to be a
spectacular project for Sandy Springs
and the Perimeter area,” Sterling said.
