Emory Point is a mixed-use development on Clifton Road in Druid Hills, unincorporated DeKalb County, Georgia, adjacent to Atlanta. It is across Clifton Road from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and surrounded on three sides by the campus of Emory University.
The complex is located on "The Cliff" Emory University shuttle line.
The complex contains {{convert|80000|ft2|m2}} of retail space and 443 apartments. The total cost of development was variously quoted as USD 60 million to USD 250 million.[http://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/print-edition/2012/03/02/cousins-gables-join-forces-on-emory.html?page=all "Cousins, Gables join forces on Emory Point", Atlanta Business Chronicle, Giannina Smith Bedford, March 2, 2012]
History
The project was originally planned in 2006 as a {{convert|315000|ft2|m2}} condominium complex only. It was stopped in 2008 as the Great Recession deepened[http://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/news/2011/07/20/slideshow-emory-point-underway.html "Slideshow: Emory Point underway", Atlanta Business Chronicle, July 20, 2011] but was finally completed in 2012.{{cite web|title="Your Guide to Emory Point", Emory Point website |url=http://emory-point.com/pdf/Your_Guide_to_Emory_Point_2012.pdf?20121203-1025 |access-date=11 December 2012 }}{{dead link|date=December 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
Construction began in 2012 with the demolition of the Emory Inn, a hotel on the site.[http://www.emorywheel.com/emory-inn-to-be-demolished-in-june/ "Emory Inn To Be Demolished In June", Emory Wheel, November 15, 2012]
