Pinewood Forrest to bring Housing to Pinewood Studios Atlanta

by

If you have not ventured down Sandy Plains Road and Veteran’s Parkway in Fayetteville (that would be South of Atlanta) then you have missed what has become one of the largest movie studios in the Southeast….Pinewood Studios Atlanta!  It has been growing by leaps and bounds, and has been home to some impressive movie productions, including Marvel Comics Ant Man and Captain America to name a couple. It has its own Home Depot to service the productions, and Enterprise Rent-a-Car has a location there as well. I read somewhere it is one of their most profitable locations?

Sure, there are places to live all around Fayetteville and neighboring Peachtree City. But nothing like what is coming now. And that would be Pinewood Forrest.

Pinewood Forrest Coming to Pinewood Studios Atlanta

Pinewood Studios AtlantaThe development’s Phase One will be some 234 acres and include about 1,300 residences, hotels, shops, restaurants and office space. The site plan below calls for three “districts,” named Culinary, Garden and Craft. There is also talk of a large performing arts center too.

All of this will be located on land across Veteran’s Parkway from the studio site. (It’s possible the lake you see is the existing lake as shown in this photo on the right.

 

Here is the initial site plan that was presented at the ground breaking event in July.

And now a promotion video about the development is out…

We will be out to look at the construction in the next few days and get some updates out!

Exciting times at Pinewood Studios Atlanta!

Living Near Pinewood Studios Atlanta RestaurantsYou see them everywhere. Mexican restaurants. But not of all them are the same.

As I share information about Living Near Pinewood Studios Atlanta, one of the features will be to help you know the good, the bad and the ugly of restaurants. I don’t write a post about a restaurant, unless I’ve actually eaten some of the food. It may be just an appetizer, or it could be a full meal…but at least I have sampled something! So Friday, while in Fayetteville, I for some reason ended up driving Highway 54 to the edge of Peachtree City. (Part of it was a wrong address on Google Maps….there I admit it!) And here, I stumbled upon Azul Tequila Taqueria and Cantina.

Living Near Pinewood Studios Atlanta | Azul Tequila Taqueria and Cantina

Azul Tequila Taqueria brings the flavors of authentic Cocina Mexicana (Mexican Cooking) together in a great atmosphere!  Besides the Taqueria on the main floor, they have the Cantina Lounge on the upper level with a huge selection of tequila! I’m not sure if this is the “hot spot” on a Friday night, but it might be worth looking into?

One of the first concerns I have in a restaurant is how will the food, or service be at an “off time.” My check says 3:27pm for my late lunch with my business partner. I didn’t sample a Margarita, but opted for a Miller Lite. The menu is plentiful, but I opted to the Lunch section, which was still being served. The time of day made no difference….the service was prompt and friendly…and the food….well…

Azul Tequila TaqueriaI selected the Steak Quesadilla and Ray had the Enchilada Suizas.  The quesadilla presentation was every bit as good as the flavor! Truly some of the best Mexican food I’ve had.  The menu says rice OR beans, but I got both, along with sour cream, avocado, pico de gallo and some shredded lettuce. Needless to say, there was not a crumb left on the plate!

Azul Tequlia CantinaRay’s Enchilada Suizas was two corn enchilada’s stuffed with shredded beaf, and topped with a to die for cream cheese sauce! Totally YUM!

When Pinewood Studios Atlanta opens nearby in January, this will be a great location to hop over to for lunch or dinner. It’s about 5 miles from the studio entrance, give or take. Traffic moves smoothly on Highway 54 so you should be able to get in and out quickly if lunch off the studio lot is called for!

I have numerous other restaurants to try and tell you about…but I can tell you I’ll be back to Azul Tequila Taqueria and Cantina!
