A mixed-use development was approved recently by the Cobb County Board of Commissioners in The Battery next to SunTrust Park, including an office building and 285 townhomes.

Pollack Shores Development, owned by Genuine Parts Co., will develop the 9.5 acres on the east side of Herodian Way between Circle 75 Parkway and Crescent Parkway.

Representing Pollack Shores Development, attorney John Moore said the existing office building will be the regional headquarters for Brasfield & Gorrie General Contractors (builders of SunTrust Park among an array of other projects) since Genuine Parts has moved its headquarters to nearby Wildwood.

The townhomes will consist of 285 units in a five-story building, he added.

“With the seven high-rise office buildings approved by you over the last five years, these residences are being absorbed,” Moore told the commissioners.

In opposition, attorney Elaine Smith, representing townhome owners at Waterford Place and Towns of Crescent Park, requested denial or limiting this request to 150 units and three stories.
