ATLANTA, GA (Jan. 28, 2013) – North American Properties (NAP) will officially break ground today at Avalon, an 86-acre, resort-inspired, mixed-use development.

When it opens in Alpharetta, Ga., Aug. 22, 2014, the $600 million project will be the Southeast’s preeminent experiential development — a place where specialty retail, entertainment, restaurant, residential, office, hotel and public spaces come together to create a truly unique destination.

Since receiving zoning approval from the Alpharetta City Council in April 2012, NAP has achieved many key milestones.

Accomplishments include commitments from 34 retail and restaurant tenants, securing all major approvals from the Alpharetta Design Review Board, enlisting best-in-class development partners for all mixed-use components, and creating a brand that defines the core values that will permeate the experience of the Avalon guest.

“Today is the culmination of a lot of hard work and countless wins during the past six months,” said Mark Toro, managing partner of North American Properties. “We are excited to share all our progress today and to start demolition and construction. I know the residents of Alpharetta are as eager as we are to begin moving dirt. The wait is over.”
