Major developments

The development is located in the neighborhood of Buckhead in Atlanta, at the intersection of Peachtree and West Paces Ferry roads.[1] In 2011, OliverMcMillan acquired The Streets of Buckhead two years after the project was stalled in 2009 due to a lack of financing. OliverMcMillan evolved the architecture, reengaged leasing efforts, and renamed the project Buckhead Atlanta.[4] Under the firms’s direction, construction has been underway since August 2012 and shops are anticipated to open in mid-2014.[1] The company provides live streaming video and still shot archive photos of the construction project from July 12, 2013 online. [5]

Oliver McMillan confirmed that twenty-eight retailers and restaurants were committed to the project by May 2014.[6] Retailers will include a mix of local, regional, national, and international brands,[7] including Hermès[8] as well as Spanx’s first flagship retail store and custom-designed world headquarters.[9]

Construction is set to begin on the project in early 2014.[1]

The Lofts at 688 Thirteenth Street

The Lofts at 688 Thirteenth Street, currently under construction, is planned as a five-story residential building fronting 13th Street between Market and G streets in the East Village District of downtown San Diego. Covering three-quarters of a city block, the new construction includes 208 mid-rise and ground-level apartments with studio, one- and two-bedroom residences, plus two ground-level retail spaces of approximately 2,660 square feet each.[18] Progress can viewed through the Oliver McMillan EarthCam.[19]

Pacifica Hononlulu


Located in the Kakaako neighborhood of Honolulu, Pacifica Honolulu is a 46-story building featuring 489 residential condominiums as well as approximately 11,000 square feet of commercial space.

OliverMcMillan purchased Pacifica Honolulu when the project was partially completed in 2009 and, after substantially redesigning the property, brought it to a successful completion at the end of 2011 - achieving 100% of units sold prior to finishing construction.[20]

Pacifica’s features and amenities include a 3,000 sq. ft. fitness center, a 20-seat movie theater with a 96-inch screen and a private screening room with banquette seating for smaller audiences, a hobby room that will be a playground for painters, woodworkers, photographers and other craft-handy residents, a dog park, barbecue pool cabanas, and magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean, Diamond Head and Koolau Mountains.[21]

The mixed-use development features 1,150,000 square feet of retail shops, entertainment venues and restaurants in pedestrian-friendly setting. A 160,000-square- foot Von Maur department store and 10-screen Regal Glen movie theatre anchor the retail portion of the Glen Town Center.[24] Other featured tenants include Dick’s Sporting Goods, Jos. A. Bank, Carter’s, and ULTA, among others.[25] Navy Park, the Glen's version of a town square, is located in the center of the community. Atop the Glen Town Center is a 300-unit apartment community.[24]

To develop the project, OliverMcMillan bought 45 acres from the village of Glenview for $38.6 million. The developer only paid $21.6 million up front, with an agreement that the rest would come from revenue that it would share with the village if profits hit a certain threshold. That target was never been reached, leaving $17 million outstanding from the original purchase price.[26]

After not paying a loan payment since July 2009, OliverMcMillan lost the project in a $55.6 million foreclosure suit.[27][28]
