Welcome back!

We have recently covered some big projects such as West Village, One Ivy Walk, Jonquil Village and Belmont Hills as they often garner a lot of attention. But as the City of Smyrna plans the future of Concord Road, two new smaller developments have sprung up.

Laurel Commons is situated on the northeast corner of Concord Road  and Dunton Avenue / King Springs Road and adjacent to the Laurel Hill townhomes. Laurel Commons is in a prime traffic location and is also helping to flow with the future Concord Road improvements. The 10,000 square feet office/retail development currently has some office space under lease on the second floor, but are looking for tenants for the 5,000 square feet of retail space on the street level, in particular hoping for a small diner or coffee shop to be situated on the end unit.

Across Dunton Avenue, is the Shoppes at Smyrna Heights, which is expected to be completed in August/September timeframe.

The Shoppes at Smyrna Heights is a 12,000 square foot retail center, which will hold seven different businesses. The plans currently call for restaurants at both ends of the retail center, with one restaurant to be opened by celebrity chef Marvin Woods and the other restaurant expected to include live entertainment. The retail center will also include a boutique wine, cheese and chocolate shop.

I’m sure the suspense has been killing you, waiting to see what bad MLS photo I might have stumbled upon this week.

I thought this one was interesting as it would appear that the agent didn’t even bother to get out of the car to take the photo.
