Disco Kroger To Be Replaced With “New Urban Oasis” (Renderings)

You too, Disco Kroger? New development promises combination of necessity and upscale-driven retail, office space, and high-end residences.

New renderings have surfaced that depict a very dramatic makeover for Kroger in the Piedmont Peachtree Crossing shopping center in Buckhead.

The property’s owner, Equity One Properties, is promising a “new urban oasis.” Judging by the renderings, they plan to deliver on that: The development is dense, walkable, close to Buckhead MARTA rail station, parking is out of sight, and there will be space for “necessity-driven” retail – A stark contrast to the property’s current shopping plaza swimming in an ocean of parking.

The new development will be a “classic example of 21^st century live, work, play mixed-use real estate offering a synergistic combination of upscale and necessity-driven retail, state of the art office space, and high-end residences for Buckhead’s increasingly metropolitan population.”

Equity One Properties hopes that through the mixed-use project, they can leverage Buckhead’s supposed reputation as the “Beverly Hills of the South.”

The supermarket is affectionately named Disco Kroger, a nod to the Limelight, a famous club that once occupied the space next door – currently the home of Binder’s Art Supply And Frames.

This isn’t the only Kroger in town getting an extreme makeover: Beltline/Murder Kroger on Ponce De Leon Avenue will be razed to make way for 725 Ponce, a mixed use development featuring an “urban prototype” Kroger, class-A loft office space, and Beltline access.
