SMYRNA, GA—Halpern Enterprises will commence construction later this week on its new Belmont mixed-use development being built on a 48-acre site that was the home of the former Belmont Hill Shopping Center.
The Belmont development will include a 153-home single-family residential subdivision by David Weekley Homes; a 274-unit luxury apartment community called Alta Station at Belmont by Wood Partners; and a 47,593-square-foot neighborhood retail center, which Halpern Enterprises will build. The site is already the location of Smyrna Elementary School, which has more than 900 students and opened last year.
Halpern Enterprises plans to build the neighborhood retail center with the first spaces scheduled to be complete in the summer of 2015. The Northeast Atlanta-based firm expects the spaces to be primarily occupied by local retailers and restaurants that will cater to the surrounding neighborhoods.
Belmont's groundbreaking ceremony is set for Thursday, Aug. 28 at 9:30 a.m. at the former Belmont Hills Shopping Center. The 480,000-square-foot center, which opened in 1954 and was purchased by Halpern Enterprises in 1967, eventually became functionally obsolete and was demolished two years ago to make way for the new development.
“This location has continued to improve in recent years as high-quality projects have been built throughout Smyrna, spurred on by the city's investment in its downtown,” says Halpern Enterprises' Vice President of Development Steve West. “And now, the planned Braves development about two miles away will only add to the area's quality of life for people to live, work and play.”
