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.

Impact on the Neighborhood

  • 📈
    Rising Property Values When Avalon opened in Alpharetta, surrounding neighborhoods saw sustained 6%+ annual appreciation. Medley is Johns Creek's Avalon moment — and homes nearby stand to benefit most.
  • 🛍️
    Walkable Retail & Dining 164,000 sq ft of curated shops, restaurants, and entertainment replaces the need to drive out of the area — daily errands, date nights, and weekend outings all within your zip code.
  • 💼
    Jobs & Economic Activity 110,000 sq ft of lifestyle office, a boutique hotel, and the adjacent Boston Scientific campus bring hundreds of permanent jobs, raising the area's economic profile.
  • 🎉
    Community Identity & Events A 25,000 sq ft activated plaza hosts 200+ events per year — live music, art festivals, farmers markets, and wellness classes — giving Johns Creek a true gathering heart.
