Medical Office Plans Change as Developer Talks to Brookwood Community

EDITOR'S NOTE: Blogger Tony Wilbert alerts us to big changes in the south Buckhead development landscape. Here's part of The Wilbert Group's blog, with links to his complete take on what's happening in Brookwood with the Cornerstone Medical Building.

The largest development currently under consideration in south Buckhead, aka Brookwood, has taken a dramatic turn.

Until last week, plans called for a split eight- and four-story medical office complex (initially designed as tall as 146 feet) comprising more than 208,000 square feet of medical and ground-floor retail space.  

But plans for Cornersone Medical Building continue to change significantly as developer Bob Kern and his team meet with residents of Brookwood Hills and the Brookwood Hills Community Club. I attended a meeting earler this month and heard from Kern, Wesley DeFoor and other members of the development team.

Key changes Wilbert notes include:

• The medical office complex will be farther from the single-family homes directly behind the property.
• Total rentable square feet in the building will drop to about 160,000.
• The Peachtree and Collier roads intersection would be improved.
• The new medical office center will top out at 98 feet.
