Curious as to what’s happening in the Roswell Village Shopping Center at the corner of Alpharetta Highway and Holcomb Bridge Road? Owned by Sterling Organization, the shopping center has been undergoing a major redevelopment and revitalization of the 149,261-square-foot center since construction began in April 2018.

Sterling has also announced six confirmed tenants for the center, including Ross Dress for Less, Marshall’s, Crunch Fitness, Lush Nails, Goldfish Swim School, and Phenix Salon Suites, which will locate in Roswell Village once construction is complete. Thirteen tenants, including the six publicly announced businesses listed here, have secured spaces in the development to date. Twelve additional spaces currently remain available. Construction is expected to finish in summer 2019.

According to Sterling, the shopping center sees a traffic count of 95,000 cars a day since it faces two major highways. With a new look and new retailers, including three large anchor stores, the revamped center is set to once again become one of the most sought-after destination shopping areas in our community.

The Roswell Inc team has continued to be a resource to Sterling throughout the development of this project, and has specifically helped with the recruitment of multiple tenants, the approval of shopping center signage, and navigating city hall to receive a land disturbance permit.

Small Business Saturday is November 24, and our team encourages everyone to shop small this upcoming holiday season. In Roswell, small businesses comprise approximately 80% of our economy, and supporting Roswell’s small business owners brings variety to the market, which is vital for the city’s economic sustainability.

Making the choice to shop small helps create a balance between large and local brands. Supporting small businesses can be accomplished in different ways and includes everything from treating your loved ones to a dining experience at a unique Roswell restaurant to picking up matchless gifts from a local store.

As the holidays approach, break the routine, bypass the long lines and crowded malls, and search for gifts among the many small businesses that call Roswell home.

McKesson Corporation, a global leader in healthcare supply chain management solutions, retail pharmacy, and healthcare information technology, will be moving its Atlanta Hub to Roswell, Georgia in 2019. This move will relocate existing employees from the company’s current office in Alpharetta bringing more than 500 high-quality jobs to the city of Roswell, with an anticipated move-in date in the summer of 2019.

With this move, McKesson will become a Top 5 company in Roswell by number of employees. The company has signed a 10-year lease for 104,000 square feet in the Stonebridge I building of Sanctuary Park, located at 1110 Sanctuary Parkway, which is the portion of the office park within Roswell city limits.

“Adding this caliber of corporate citizen to our city, along with this many high-quality jobs, is incredibly significant for the economic health and prosperity of our community, and we are honored to have partnered with McKesson and all those involved to make this happen,” said Steve Stroud, executive director of Roswell Inc. “This is also a big win for Georgia, as this relocation keeps these jobs here in the state.”

“We are excited to join a community that reflects our focus on employee well-being, sustainability and innovation. The Sanctuary Park campus offers our employees access to jogging trails, fitness facilities and other important amenities,” said Perry Guinn, vice president, Global Real Estate, McKesson Corporation. “Our new space will feature an open floorplan and technology-enhanced meeting rooms to help connect our employees in new ways and foster a collaborative atmosphere.”

Major factors in the decision to relocate to Roswell include location, availability of space, and quality of life. This location is also in Roswell’s Opportunity Zone, an area of the city designated as part of the state incentive program that provides tax credits for net new jobs created within the State of Georgia.  

“I am excited to welcome McKesson to the City of Roswell,” said Roswell Mayor Lori Henry. “I look forward to a long, prosperous partnership.”
