🚧 Big changes are coming to Alpharetta.
Alpharetta’s North Point Mall redevelopment is moving forward again, with plans that could include a future NHL arena as part of a massive mixed-use project.
But about 7 miles north, a $3 billion development in South Forsyth called The Gathering at South Forsyth is also trying to land the same potential NHL expansion team.
*Right now, the NHL hasn’t approved an Atlanta expansion franchise, so both projects are essentially competing for the opportunity.
This will likely take several years to unfold, but it’s already big news for North Atlanta real estate. So stay tuned!
Major entertainment districts — like Truist Park and The Battery Atlanta — historically drive major nearby residential demand, restaurants, retail, and rising property values.
If something like this actually happens, the surrounding areas could see a major surge in development and property values.
If Atlanta gets an NHL team… where should the arena go??
