What Is Medley?
Johns Creek's Once-in-a-Generation Transformation
Medley is a $560 million, 43-acre mixed-use community rising at Johns Creek Parkway & McGinnis Ferry Road — built by Toro Development Company, the same visionary firm behind Avalon in Alpharetta and Colony Square in Midtown Atlanta. It transforms a vacant office park into the city's true downtown: walkable, vibrant, open 18 hours a day.
"A Johns Creek town center was once considered little more than a dream. Medley will rise to become the walkable, urban oasis the Johns Creek community deserves."
— Mark Toro, Chief Vision Officer, Toro Development Co.
