The 508-acre development, located just northwest of Chateau Elan off Georgia Route 211, will be centered around a man-made “river” and will resemble water-centric developments such as San Antonio River Walk and Oklahoma City Bricktown.
The project will include 265 single-family homes, 215 townhomes, 600 multifamily units, 242,000 square feet of retail space and 424,000 square feet of office space. Plans also call for a 200-room boutique hotel, 20,000-square-foot convention center, 50,000-square-foot grocery store and 60,000-square-foot theater and an outdoor amphitheater.
The centerpiece is a nearly mile-long water feature that curves through the project, along with an International Village featuring restaurants and retail. The waterfront village will feature international restaurants and high-end shopping.
A man-made river will flow through a large park and house a "Tree of Life" – a larger-than-life LED fountain and art exhibit which serves as the focal point of the destination. The Atlanta River Walk will also include over 100 acres of green space with parks, art installations, walking trails, rivers, streams, lakes and lots of room for more fun in the future.

“Atlanta doesn’t have a lot of water front destinations. People love being near a river, a lake or an ocean,” Duran, principal of ARW Group, said in an announcement.
“We will create a one-of-a-kind destination by constructing a man-made feature similar to a river and surrounding it with world-class mixed-use development.”

ARW Group created the master plan in collaboration with Wakefield Beasley Architects and engineering firm Atwell Group.
The project team also includes Road Atlanta and the city of Braselton.
