IN THE NEWS

• State Farm bringing up to 400 new jobs: State Farm, the nation’s largest property and casualty insurance company, is currently in the process of centralizing its regional auto insurance and fi re underwriting operations to its Johns Creek campus. The company is consolidating its offi ces in other southeastern states and moving approximately 400 white-collar jobs to North Fulton. This strategy helps State Farm lower its operating costs in the challenging economy.

• Prospect Park goes for $22.8 million: The former luxury retail and mixed-used development known as Prospect Park has a new owner. Wells Fargo sold the 101-acre property to North American Properties for $22.8 million ($225,742 an acre). The property was previously owned by developer Stan Thomas. The bank took control of the land when loan obligations were not met; a common theme among large developments under construction prior to the economic downturn. North American Properties plans to scale down the next version of the project from 850,000 SF of retail to around 400,000 SF. The development will still include some elements of offi ce and for-sale residential units. The new owner hopes to have the fi rst phase completed by October 2013, prior to the holiday season. UPDATE: AVALON IN ALPHARETTA - North American Properties has changed the name of Prospect Park to Avalon. The developer hopes to associate the new name with affl uent baby boomers which are the major demographic target in the Alpharetta area; and also disassociate itself from the old name.

Accelerating success.
