Dunwoody Planning Commission Defers Decision on Big Mixed-Use Project Near Perimeter Mall
David Kirk, a partner with Troutman Pepper, is quoted in the Reporter Newspapers article " Dunwoody Planning Commission Defers Decision on Big Mixed-Use Project Near Perimeter Mall."
David Kirk, an attorney with the firm Troutman Pepper, spoke about some of the decisions behind changing the site plan, specifically switching from condos to apartments. Before the council approved the 2018 rezoning, the original plan for the site included 1,200 apartments and condos. Opposition from the Dunwoody Homeowners Association against new apartments caused the council to make Grubb include for-sale condos.
Kirk pointed to the housing market as one of the reasons.
"We have tried for a number of years … to get financing for owner-occupied residential," he said. "There's no market there for it, there's no taste for it in the financial market."
