(Special/MOTIV) BYAMYWENK A nearly 13-acre project planned near Perimeter Mall has landed a ho tel flag, according to the development team. Buckhead-based RocaPoint Part ners and New York-based The George town Co. announced its new Dunwoody mixed-use development will include a 145-key Element Hotel. Called Campus 244, the more than 1 million-square-foot project is a redevel opment of the for mer Gold Kist Head quarters. The site is located off Perime ter Center Parkway, just south of the Dunwoody MARTA station. The first phase of Campus 244 will in clude the Element Hotel, featuring a lobby bar and chef- driven restaurant. Vision Hospitality Group, which owns and operates sever al hotels in Atlanta, is partnering on the project. Element is an ex tended-stay hotel brand from Marri ott International that offers “bright, modern design, eco-conscious practic es and an innovative guest experience,” according to its website. There are two locations in Georgia: in Buckhead and as part of a dual-branded hotel in Mid town. The first phase of Campus 244 will also remake the existing Gold Kist build ing into a five-story, 400,000-square- foot office building. The project is also planned to have 25,000 square feet of new restaurants, located around a central greenspace. RocaPoint and Georgetown said some of those eateries may be concepts from Halcyon, its other project in Alpharetta. “In recent years, heavy investment in the Central Perimeter market has stim ulated job growth and attracted a hub of major Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 companies from across the Southeast,” Phil Mays, principal at RocaPoint Part ners, said in a press release. “At Campus 244, we’re bringing a proven model of a dynamic restau rant mix surround ing a central greens pace that provides an activated sense of place for employees and visitors alike.” S9 Architecture, the architectural team behind Ponce City Market, is han dling the design and master planning for Campus 244. RocaPoint and Georgetown bought the former Gold Kist site in 2020. In October, the Dunwoody Development Authority issued final bond documents for the project. It will receive a roughly $23 million tax break over 10 years. It’s not the only large project in the works near Perimeter Mall. The $2 bil lion High Street just kicked off con struction in November. “At Campus 244, were bringing a proven model of a dgnamic restaurant mix surrounding a central greenspace that provides an activated sense of place for emplogees and visitors alike/’ Phil Mays 10 JANUARY Z0ZZ\ REPORTER NEWSPAPERS reporternewspapers.com ss
