This sprawling suburban submarket sits just north of Atlanta and is home to some of the region’s most highly ranked public schools, affluent neighborhoods, and a highly educated workforce. In fact, most adults in this area and the neighborhoods to the immediate south hold at least a bachelor’s degree. North Fulton/Forsyth County not only has the largest inventory of office space in the Atlanta region but also boasts abundant retail, a diverse cultural scene, and access to various recreational activities. GA 400 serves as the main transit corridor for this area and is the best way to get around, while MARTA’s North Springs station is also a short drive from the southern edge of the district.

Nearly all of the largest office buildings are in the Alpharetta area along GA 400, the construction of which kicked off a major office building boom in the 1990s. About half of all the inventory here was built in the 1990s. There have been a few exciting, high-profile developments in North Fulton in recent years, including the Avalon development. The mixed-use project includes multifamily, high-end retail, hotel, and office components. Similarly, the Halcyon development has created a vibrant live/work/play environment a few miles northeast of Avalon in Forsyth County.

North Fulton is industry-diverse, and the area has attracted a high concentration of technology companies in recent years. It also has a noteworthy number of back-office operations. These employers can draw from North Fulton's well-educated and highly skilled workforce.
