Home improvement “supermall” Improve is moving forward with plans to open its first U.S. location.
The Canada-based company is headed to Doraville, at 6945 Button Gwinnett Drive, where Atlanta Furniture Market was once situated.
Construction on the 418,000-square-foot showroom is expected to begin at the end of 2019, a representative for Improve Tuesday told What Now Atlanta in a telephone interview.
Improve is slated to debut late-2021, they said.
The supermall will house 429 independent home improvement vendors across “38 home renovation-related categories,” each of which will rent its 400-square-foot space within Improve, according to marketing materials for the project.
Plans also call for “thousands of parking spots,” coffee shops, restaurants, meeting and exhibit facilities, a rooftop patio, gym, and playground areas.
Ahead of construction, Improve is hosting a two-day outdoor home improvement show, August 17 and 18, at the site.
Admission and parking for the event are free.
In 2018, the company purchased the 8.4-acre parcel just northeast of the Interstate 285 Perimeter where it will build the new supermall.
Improve was first announced for Doraville in 2016.
I look forward to this concept. However, I think these rendering are old. At this time, as shown on their website, there will no longer be any outside space. It appears to be completely under one roof.
so this never went anywhere and is now dead, right?
