Alpharetta is one of the most active residential development markets in Metro Atlanta, and it is where 2070 Construction has delivered some of its strongest work. The city sits in North Fulton, where most new residential development is infill: for-sale subdivisions and townhome communities built on smaller, tighter sites that demand careful earthwork, retaining walls, and stormwater design. That is the exact scope 2070 self-performs.
We have delivered two communities in Alpharetta. Ronara Villas is an 11-home for-sale subdivision on 1.5 acres, taken from land development permit through finished pad — demolition, clearing, grading, underground utilities, stormwater with underground detention, retaining walls, roads, curb and gutter, and sidewalks. Uptown Row is a 16-home townhome community on 2.5 acres that required 16,000 cubic yards of imported structural fill to reach finish grade, plus large retaining walls, a retention pond, and a bio pond. Both projects ran under one contract, with permitting, earthwork, utilities, and stormwater sequenced by a single accountable team.
Development in Alpharetta runs through the City of Alpharetta for land disturbance and site permitting, with Fulton County involved in elements such as final plat recording for for-sale subdivisions. 2070 manages the submittal and approval process directly — preparing the land development permit package with the civil engineer, responding to plan review comments, and carrying the permit through approval so the developer does not have to chase the jurisdiction.
The terrain across Alpharetta and North Fulton is Piedmont red clay. Clay soils are moisture-sensitive and shrink and swell with water content, which is why pad preparation, compaction, and structural fill matter so much here. On sites where native soil cannot carry the design loads, we import and compact structural fill to the engineer's specification — as we did at scale on Uptown Row.
In Alpharetta, 2070 Construction self-performs the full horizontal scope plus foundations and structural concrete: site development, grading and earthwork, underground utilities, stormwater and drainage, concrete and foundations, and the permitting that ties it together. For a developer building a subdivision or townhome community in Alpharetta, that means one contractor from permit to pad ready — fewer handoffs, one schedule, one point of contact.
