The new city center in Doraville will cover 13 acres, according to officials, and will be a central hub for residents and visitors.

Among the development’s structures, Doraville officials said it’ll have a “state-of-the-art City Services building, a public library, creator space, park, as well as retail, dining, and multifamily housing. Designed with community and sustainability at its core, the City Center will provide a welcoming, modern space where people can live, work, gather, and thrive."

Officials said the development will mix function, sustainability and community connection.

“The Doraville City Center is the culmination of more than 20 years of community visioning, planning, and dialogue,” Doraville Mayor Joseph Geierman said. “I’m incredibly proud of our City Council and staff for turning that vision into reality. This project represents a major step forward for our city—a true investment in the future that reflects the values and aspirations of our residents.”

While construction is underway, city services will temporarily move to 2421 Van Fleet Circle, Suite 200 in Doraville.

A groundbreaking for the city center project will be held in June.
