[UPDATE] Redevelopment of Historic Goodwin Home Property Moving Forward in Brookhaven

"Brookhaven Medical Center II" has broken ground on Peachtree Road in Brookhaven.  The new  three story building, which has been in the works for a number of years,  is being constructed just north of Brookhaven Medical Center where Piedmont Physicians of Brookhaven and Walgreens opened in 2016.  The property was previously home to the historic Solomon Goodwin House, which dated from 1831, and a Subway restaurant. 
Local developer Jay Gipson and his GipCo are redeveloping the property at 3929 Peachtree Road and has hired Transwestern to handle the leasing for it.  In addition to being beside Brookhaven Medical Center, the upcoming development is near the corner of Colonial Drive, just just north of the Kroger-anchored Cherokee Plaza shopping center, and just south of the Total Wine and Stein Mart-anchored Brookhaven Plaza shopping center.  

Brookhaven resident Jay Gipson previously proposed a three tenant redevelopment at Clairmont and Briarcliff Roads that would have brought a new RaceTrac, Wendy's and Express Oil Change to the area.  The proposed development is reportedly not dead, but also not "active."  


The marketing flyer promotes the Brookhaven development as a three story, 50,000 square foot project with "no use restrictions" and a "generous tenant improvement package."  According to sources close to the development, the property is currently 60% pre-leased, with deals "pending" that could bring it to 95% pre-leased within the coming weeks.  

The project is expected to welcome its first tenants in the first half of 2020.

Until very recently, the Jay Gipson property at Clairmont and Briarcliff Roads was listed as For Sale or For Lease on LoopNet. Previously, DeKalb County did not approve his rezoning request, and then Brookhaven shot down his annexation proposal. So how could the project now be anything but dead?

So this is all medical offices? No food or retail at all? Not good.

@Anon 4/3 @ 4:54pm: Those are pine trees. They generally suck. They will be replaced with hardwoods which are generally better.

@Anon 4/3 @ 7:20pm: Probably because nobody else has any interest in the property so the owner is either allowing Gipson to stay under contract while he tried to come up with some sort of modification to placate the anti-change natives or some other plan to force his development through. That particular property is a rat infested eyesore. I think the County should condemn it, turn it into a park and force the surrounding neighborhoods to pay for it since that is what they really want there on the side of an extremely congested road!

Gipson's new development in Brookhaven seems pretty benign to me.

Not to jack the topic, but has anything come of the old Hastings site directly across the street from this? It was reported here years ago that Chick Fil A was sniffing around that site but apparently passed....

Any development in "Brookhaven" is worse than pulling teeth.The anti development and anti everything other than idiotic sidewalks to nowhere are what rules in the people's homeowners republic of "Brookhaven".
