Woodstock, Ga. — Atlanta-based real estate developer and investor Connolly has begun construction on Woodstock Mill District, a 118,000-square-foot retail property located in the Atlanta suburb of Woodstock. The property is scheduled to open in phases throughout the second half of 2026.
Woodstock Mill District will comprise 90,000 square feet of new retail space, including a 46,791-square-foot Publix Super Market that will serve as the anchor tenant. Additionally, the development will include six freestanding buildings ranging in size from 3,500 square feet to 13,750 square feet. Towne Lake Plaza, an existing 28,000-square-foot shopping center which sits adjacent to Woodstock Mill District, will soon be rebranded to join the new development. Connolly originally acquired Towne Lake Plaza in 2021.
Connolly has selected Ed O’Connor and Mindy Elms of Lavista Associates Inc. to handle leasing for Woodstock Mill District.

Scott McGregor and Bo Schill of CBRE represented Connolly in the land acquisition, while John Haynes, also with CBRE, represented the land seller.
