In November, Winter Properties hosted a groundbreaking event for Meeting Park, a mixed use community just east of the Marietta Square. The $112 million redevelopment project, located on the site of the former Clay Homes public housing, will include 299 homes and 78,000 square feet of retail and office space.

The first phase, slated to be complete in fall 2008, will include 70 condominiums, 32 townhouses and 7,600 square feet of retail space. The entire community is slated to be complete late 2009. Resident amenities will include a swimming pool, fitness center, clubhouse, a central neighborhood park and additional green space and neighborhood oriented retail. The community will offer an urban village lifestyle with work and play options within walking distance.

Residential condominiums, 159 to be constructed in the entire development, range in size from 900 to 1,600 square feet.The development, when completed, will aso include 131 town homes, ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 square feet, in Park, Georgian and traditional styles, all with rear-loaded garages. Nine single-family homes will be located at the rear of the development on Waterman Street to provide a lower-density transition into the existing neighborhood. Winter properties purchased the 12-acre site for Meeting Park between Roswell and Waterman Street from the Marietta Housing Authority (MHA) in 2006 after responding to a Request for Proposals (RFP). The MHA has sold two properties near downtown Marietta for redevelopment in the last three years and is preparing for redevelopment of the Lyman Homes property near Cherokee Street in 2007.
