The city of Marietta finalized the sale this month of the former Johnny Walker Homes housing project to Alpharetta-based Myrick Company, clearing the way for a new $45 million mixed use redevelopment off Powder Springs Street.

The project will include approximately 50,000 square feet of retail and office space and 45 residential condominiums in two mixed-use buildings. Another 58 townhomes and 18 single family detached homes will be included in the 10.68-acre site.

Myrick hopes to begin turning dirt by this June and expects the first units will be available for sale and occupied in the first quarter of 2007.
