Mercedes-Benz USA released its first renderings of its new headquarters in Sandy Springs, Georgia. The company said it plans to break ground in spring 2016, with a target completion date of early 2018.
The company began moving staff in July 2015 to a temporary office Sterling Pointe in Dunwoody near Perimeter Mall. It first announced it would relocated from its former headquarters in Montvale, New Jersey, in February 2015.
Its new headquarters will be located at the corner of Abernathy and Barfield roads, near the intersection of Georgia 400 and Interstate 285.
The 225,000-square-foot headquarters will be located on a 12-acre campus at the south side of the 76-acre property formerly owned by Glenridge Hall.
The development across the headquarters will include more than 1,000 housing units and 30 acres of greenspace. The rest of the property will be office space, stores and restaurants.
Last fall, Mercedes-Benz USA asked Sandy Springs City Council members to rename a street where its new headquarters will be.
“We’ve been made to feel like this is our home, and we have many employees who came from New Jersey,” said Donna Boland, a spokesperson with Mercedes-Benz USA. “This will certainly make them feel even more at home.”
The company would like a section of Barfield Road between Abernathy Road Northeast and Mount Vernon Highway Northeast to be renamed to Mercedes-Benz Drive.
Gov. Nathan Deal has said the company is expecting to create at least 800 jobs and invest about $74 million in its facility.
