It was in mid-October that the Pinewood Progress Fall 2016 event was held to kick-off the 234-acre mixed use development known as Pinewood Forrest on Fayetteville’s west side. Following that, the preliminary plat for the first 166 homes went before the Fayetteville Planning and Zoning Commission on Oct. 25.
Commissioners heard plans for the preliminary plat for for the first 166 homes. Those homes represent a portion of the larger Culinary and Garden districts at Pinewood Forrest and will be situated in close proximity to the Village Square area that will front Veterans Parkway.
The first homesites will be available for reservation in the coming months.
“Attainable, sustainable, walkable, rideable, livable and connected and unbelievable,” Pinewood Forrest President Rob Parker said Oct. 14, summing up the purpose for Pinewood Forrest.
Village Square, the community district situated adjacent to Veterans Parkway, is billed as one with “an informal European vibe and distinctly Southern design, the heart of activity and action with a boutique hotel, farm-to-table restaurants, an integrated wellness center and filled with outdoor cafes and retail shops.”
Also shown in an illustration of Village Square was office space and an arts/events center.
Pinewood Forrest is a 234-acre master-planned residential and mixed-use development adjacent to Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayetteville, designed to be a diverse, multi-generational community, a place “to bring stories to life and be your best self.”
The community is laid out in districts. First up is the largely commercial and office Village Square adjacent to Veterans Parkway. The residential areas situated away from Veterans Parkway include the Craft District on the north side of the property, the Garden District in the center of the property, the Culinary District on the south side and adjacent to Hood Road, and the Woodlands District, also on the south side and to the rear of the site.
Proposed community features include:
• 1,300 unique residential units including single-family homes, micro-cottages, multi-family flats, townhomes and tree homes featuring authentic materials
• 300 hotel rooms in boutique and all-suite hotels
• 275,000 square feet of commercial office, street level retail and restaurants
• Over 15 miles of trails and pathways
• 118 total acres of public green space (approximately 51 percent of total site)
• Community gardens, pools, playgrounds and dog park
• Integrated wellness center
• Arts/events center
• Shared meeting spaces, offices and other amenities
• Buildings designed with low carbon, efficient and Earthcraft/LEED features
