We have confirmation from the developer that Isakson Living East Cobb's proposal includes 1,124,034 (1.124 million) square feet of air conditioned buildings, so not counting the parking decks. WellStar's East Cobb Health Park current Phase 1 building plan under construction is 162,000 square feet (see below for Phase 2). So it would take 6.94 WellStar developments to equal 1 Isakson Living East Cobb development in terms of square footage alone.
| | Isakson Living East Cobb's proposal of 1,124,034 square feet, even without the parking floors, is actually more than all the stores of Cumberland Mall's 1,040,000 square feet of retail, and it is just less than all the stores of Town Center Mall's 1,269,000 square feet of retail. This gives a good indication of how large the plans are. Parking adds additional square footage to the development footprint. |
| PARKING Isakson Living WellStar (Phase 1) | Under-Building Parking 763 parking spaces 228,900 sq ft * 75 parking spaces 22,500 sq ft * | Surface Parking 119 parking spaces 35,700 sq ft * 723 parking spaces 216,900 sq ft * | Total Parking 882 parking spaces 264,400 sq ft * 798 parking spaces 239,400 sq ft * |
| * Parking square footage calculated by using 300 sq ft per parking space. Parking is usually estimated at 300-350 sq ft per space, which includes room for parking stalls and drive aisles. |
| In terms of the Isakson Living East Cobb parking floors, we should point out that the buildings have an additional level of parking mostly above grade. As you can see from the elevation numbers for the ring road surrounding the development and the elevation numbers on the buildings for parking and 1st floor, the buildings are actually 1 story taller than listed on the top of the building, because 4-stories over parking is a 5-story building. So these buildings are actually 3-, 4- and 5-stories tall, as in the first Isakson Living proposal. |  View of Entire Isakson Living Proposal in Relation to Current House, Carport & Barn 31 Cottages on the outside of the ring road have been added since the first plan, and the total number of units proposed has been lowered to 748: 652 independent units, and 96 assisted living units. |
We should note that in the course of researching the comparison square footage, we discovered a WellStar Phase 2 development, to add another 45,000 square foot building located next to the main building. The image of the proposed new building is found on page 25 of this WellStar document. We did not add this new building into the comparison calculations.
