Housing, Hotel Planned for Hall County

A Buford developer is proposing a sprawling mixed-use project northeast of Atlanta. Scott Puckett hopes to build a 75-acre mixed-use project in Hall County. The Atlanta Business Chronicle reports he’s aiming to construct 500 homes, both multifamily and standalone, food and beverage locations, a 110-room hotel and a variety of outdoor amenities, such as game courts and walking trails. The project, Ridgeview, is slated for construction at the intersection of Ridge and Friendship roads off Interstate 985.

Construction is scheduled to wrap in April 2027.

Hall County has been the location for a number of planned developments. Gainesville Township, a master-planned community slated for construction in Hall’s county seat, is anticipated to span more than 1,100 acres once completed and feature more than 2,000 residences.

Other master-planned communities in the region include the 386-acre Marina Bay on Lake Lanier and the 1,000-acre Sterling on the Lake projects.
