Streets of Buckhead- Opening scheduled for Spring of 2010

The Streets of Buckhead is a $1.5 billion [mixed-use development located in the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta by Ben Carter Properties, LLC. Approximately 600,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space is slated to fill the development consisting of over 80 boutiques and 14 of the world's finest restaurants, including Japonais, La Goulue, Le Colonial, and The Capital Grille.

Class-A office towers, two 5-star, world class hotels, and several hundred high rise residential units are slated, as well as "Art on the Streets," a program which will display works of contemporary artwork throughout the community. It aims to be the most exclusive shopping mall in the Southern United States. Many of the tenants are new to the Atlanta market, as well as the state. These stores include Hermes, Equinox, Dolce & Gabbana, Brioni, and Bottega Veneta, among others.

The project also seeks LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), an eco-focused green certification designated by the US Green Building Council.
Originally scheduled to open November 2009, the Streets of Buckhead is scheduled for an opening of March 2010.
