Plans for Windward project presented at public forum By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Developers behind a major, mixed-use project in Alpharetta gave the public a detailed look at the layout plans at a Community Zoning Information meeting Dec. 8. Attorney Julie Sellers, representing developer Southwest Value Partners, said plans call for transforming the current Hewlett-Packard corporate campus at Windward Parkway and Westside Parkway into a community that will include residential, commercial and more than 1 million square feet of new office space. The 51-acre development is called Continuum. Representatives were on hand from the design team of Gensler architects, civil engineering firm Kimley-Horn and landscape architects HGOR. Drawings presented at the Zoom meeting show five buildings exclusive for office use, including three existing on the campus. Another half-dozen buildings will include a mix of office and retail and office and residential. Sellers described the current campus as a large office building with a “sea of parking lots.” “We are creating a state-of-the-art community with the proper mixture of uses that are required to attract and support corporate clients that are looking to call Alpharetta home,” Sellers said. Southwest Value Partners is proposing to add 82 condominiums, 488 apartments and a 218-room hotel
on the site. Plans also call for adding 77,600 square feet of commercial and retail space and 1 million square feet of new office space. The existing 517,000-square-foot office building will be renovated. The property will devote close to 6
acres of civic space, including a village green to serve as a gathering area surrounded by office, retail and restaurants. There will be nearly 3 acres of amenity space.

ROSWELL, Ga. — A 19-year-old man is facing charges including homicide by vehicle in the first degree following a crash Sept. 12 that left one man dead and injured another. Carlos Sierra-Gonzalez, of Lawrenceville, came forward nearly a month after a group of vehicles were allegedly laying drags at the intersection of Holcomb Bridge Road and Ga. 400, resulting in a police chase through Roswell that was called off 10 seconds before the fatal crash. Meanwhile, the patrol officer who initiated the chase, Robert Hulon, is back on duty. A month-long investigation conducted by the Roswell Police Department determined there was not enough evidence to clearly prove the pursuit was the cause of the accident. According to the Georgia State Patrol, Hulon tried to conduct a traffic stop at around 12:05 a.m. Sept. 12, when a black Infiniti G37 sped away and began to drive recklessly on the wrong side of the road. At one point, the vehicle reached speeds up to 120 mph. As it approached Holcomb Bridge and Calibre Creek Parkway, Sgt. Robert Marshall called off the pursuit.
