 NEW YORK, NY (Dec. 9, 2013) – North American Properties – Atlanta (NAP) today announced from the ICSC New York National Conference that the 50th lease has been executed at its Avalon project in Alpharetta, Ga.

The $600 million mixed-use project is now 90 percent pre-leased with just under one year to go until its Oct. 30, 2014 grand opening.  

 Avalon is one of the largest projects under construction in the United States and it will be the Southeast’s preeminent experiential development — a place where specialty retail, entertainment, restaurants, residences, offices, hotels and public spaces come together to create a truly unique experience.

 “It’s rare, in a mixed-use development of this scale, to have all uses moving forward at the same time,” says Mark Toro, managing partner of NAP. “We are firing on all cylinders, with multifamily, single-family, retail, restaurants, entertainment and office all underway.”

 Recently signed leases include: Oak Steakhouse, francesca's boutique, Kendra Scott, Pottery Barn Kids, Marmi Shoes, Fuzziwig's Candy Factory, American Threads, The Cosmetic Marketand Giovanni DiPalma's Caffe Gio. Those in final lease negotiations include: Crate & Barrel in Phase 1 and Lilly Pulitzer in Phase 2.

“Reaching 90 percent committed in our 400,000 square-foot first phase, one year before opening, is testament to how unique Avalon is,” said Ron Pfohl, vice president of leasing at NAP. 

“We are to the point where we are turning away retailers because we can’t accommodate them. We’ve already secured our first commitment in Phase 2.”
