“We wanted there to be this place … where our businesses, our residents, would be able to have a nucleus in our community for that sense of place, sense of identity,” he said.

On Thursday, Oct. 29, the 43-acre, $560 million mixed-use development officially welcomed the public with a ribbon cutting on its central Plaza. The opening marked a milestone for a city working to establish a recognizable gathering place where dinner, shopping, work and a conversation with a neighbor can happen within walking distance. @medleyjohnscreek

Order a cocktail with the tableside ice presentation, and a server will bring over a cube, place it in a press and let diners watch as it becomes a sphere. The finished ice goes into the glass, followed by the cocktail — a little theater before the first sip.

It is an introduction to a restaurant where the details are part of the experience, from the briny liquor inside a freshly shucked oyster to the delicate crunch atop a crème brûlée.

Following preview meals on Oct. 23-25, STIR @stirmedley was prepared for its Oct. 29 public debut at Medley @medleyjohnscreek in Johns Creek. The restaurant marks the brand’s first Georgia location, bringing its combination of oysters, cocktails and scratch cooking to the developing neighborhood.

Rising from the ashes of a dead suburban office campus, Medley @medleyjohnscreek is opening the first phase of its mixed-use district with its speculative office space fully leased, Toro Development Company announced this week. Medley is the first spec office project in metro Atlanta to open fully leased in more than a decade. The last building to go from 100% spec to 100% leased was 8000 Avalon Blvd., a 228,893-square-foot office building within Avalon @avaloninsider, the 86-acre mixed-use destination Toro developed and opened in Alpharetta in 2014.

“‘Flight to quality’ was one of the prevailing post-Covid office narratives. And yet, we saw trophy towers with luxury amenities in top office markets open unoccupied,” said Mark Toro, founder and chief vision officer of Toro Development Company. “This tells us location and quality aren’t the only things that matter. Energy is the real difference maker in creating a commute-worthy workplace experience. We wish we had built more office at Medley given the demand.”
