DOWNTOWN ALPHARETTA WATCH | VERIFIED OCTOBER 3, 2026
FOUNDERS HALL IS BACK IN REVIEW.
The current City of Alpharetta case DRB260024 for Founders Hall at 63 South Main Street remains open. The City says the 2026 case has not yet been considered and is currently scheduled for a November 20 Design Review Board hearing. Current construction status is not verified.
BBDN has prior design, land-development and building-case records, but those records do not establish why the project returned to Design Review in 2026. That question remains open rather than inferred.
