    No Cincos in Vickery listed? Rooftop deck is great.

    It's not empty. Go there on a Saturday night especially when the weather is warm and tell me that it's empty. It's true that not all of the retail spaces are full, but they are starting to fill up once again. A new business just opened last week in fact. Most retail properties took a big hit to the economic downturn from a few years ago. Vickery was not immune.
    Just goes to show you that you don't know what you're talking about.

    Living in Cumming in a mixed use community myself, Vickery Village, I love this idea of Avalon. I work right off of Old Milton Parkway so this project is of extreme interest to me. Will there be any "open houses" where the community could get a look at all of the plans and designs? My wife and I agree moving to our mixed use community was the best idea. We love the energy of the place on Saturday nights where we can walk down from our condo above the retail and walk to Cincos to listen to live music and then grab some frozen yogurt in the open space courtyard. I can only imagine how invigorating Avalon would be due to its size and range of shops/activities.

    I definitely would want to see the rental units. I'm sure they will be upscale. As an owner of several rental units, I know personally there are a ton of people that have been hit hard by the economy and can't get a mortgage right now. But they still want high quality, high end places to live while they get back on track. These people have good jobs but have some bad credit history due to foreclosures. Avalon sounds like a great way to get introduced to Alpharetta.
