Too Intense: A Footprint of 2 Georgia Domes
The size and scale of the proposed Isakson Living development are massive, and the Footprint would as large as 2 Georgia Domes. This image is based on the first Isakson Living proposal, which was larger than 2 Georgia Domes in width and length. There is no residential building in East Cobb anywhere near this size or height. It would make the Wellstar development across Roswell Road look like "small potatoes".
The first Isakson Living proposal was larger than 2 Georgia Domes.
Isakson Living has not provided exact length or width information for their second proposal, other than that the buildings are now 3- and 4-story buildings, instead of 5-story buildings, because the parking garage is now below ground. We have asked for more information, but no details have been provided. For example, we don't know if the parking garage is multi-story, or runs under the entire length of the complex as it did in the first proposal. If we receive concrete details about the second proposal, we will update the website, but suffice it to say, the scale of the second proposal covers very close to same area as the first proposal.
The first proposal was 987 (837 independent units + 150 assisted living/nursing care units) and the second proposal is 845 units (749 independent units + 96 assisted living/nursing care units).
