Developer files plans for mixed-use project’s 14K-square-foot ‘north building.’
As the Phase I opening of Buckhead Atlanta was celebrated this past September, the mixed-use project’s developer OliverMcMillan is already moving forward with plans for Phase II.
“We wanted [Buckhead Atlanta] to look like it’s been developed over time,” Dene Oliver, CEO of OliverMcMillan, said at the grand opening late last year.
“This is not a shopping mall. This is the end of a street scene.”
A building permit application was submitted to City of Atlanta Tuesday for new construction on Parcel B of the property for a one-story, 14,017-square-foot building.
The commercial space, for mercantile use, will contain three tenant spec suites. An estimated $4,500,000 will be spent constructing the new retail space, according to the permit filing.
The building will house Dior and two other unannounced retailers, a spokesperson told What Now Atlanta in an email. For a list of Buckhead Atlanta’s now open restaurants and retailers, visit the project’s website here.

where is the north building located?
Hi T,
The North Building is adjacent Peachtree Street and will house Dior and two other unannounced tenants.

“We wanted [Buckhead Atlanta] to look like it’s been developed over time.”
It took ten years to build, so no need to pretend.
I finally went the other day, and it’s got a weird vibe. Everything seems fabricated and out of place– like an upscale Atlantic Station. These shops really should have all been setup in Phipps to centralize high-end shopping in Atlanta.
Some things never change huh?….suburban parasites still want to see massive low density developments, corralled by surface parking lots and parking decks, to place the enterprise of retailing inside a confined, sterile space. Thankfully, the suburban gargle is finally getting ignored, and Atlanta is starting to get higher density development that mixes retail with residential, with office, all of which engage with public spaces like sidewalks and streets, and aren’t suffocated by massive plats of empty land. All of which will also change and adapt over time to the cultural and economic changes of the neighborhood…..rather than the desires of housewives and weekend patrons that drive in from OTP to “have a day at the mall”.
I’m very certain that this is the same parcel that will house the Dior flagship.
I thought the Dior store is supposed to be two stories.
