Dominion Realty Partners of Raleigh has submitted plans for the first phase of its Salisbury Square project, which is across from the Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts. The plans show a 7-story residential building with a connected parking deck.

The residential mid-rise tower will have 545 units, with an average size of 856 square feet per unit. The Triad Business Journal reports that Dominion Realty originally planned a 20-story mixed-use tower (photo) with 304 apartments, office and retail space for phase one but changed plans due to uncertainty in the office sector and financial markets.

For Salisbury Square, amenities for the 7-story building will include three courtyards, a swimming pool, club room, game room, fitness center and sky deck and lounge on the seventh floor.

In 2022, Dominion Realty acquired the site at 700 S. Salisbury St. for $35.5 million. An office building on the site was torn down in 2023 to make way for the development.

The Dunwoody City Council will vote later this week to consider KDC‘s request to modify its original plan to build a 700,000-square-foot single-tower office building, first proposed in 2015, in what is called The Perimeter. The building would be replaced with a twin-tower structure containing 300,000 square feet of office space, 22,000 square feet of restaurant/retail space, a 175-room hotel, and 300 apartments. Developers are asking for a modification to the current zoning to allow for the construction of the apartments, which were not in the 2015 plan.

The project, located on 13 acres at Perimeter Center Parkway, already has three of the proposed four buildings constructed, mostly leased to State Farm. These consist of about 1 million square feet of office space, 54,000 square feet of retail/restaurant space, and 4,000 parking spaces.
