Sandy Springs Police on the Prowl
As the City of Sandy Springs has doubled its office space at Morgan Falls to 60,000 square feet, the new city’s police department is looking for 25,000 square feet for its headquarters.

David Rubenstein, a principal at Miller Richmond Co., who, along with counterpart Bogue Miller, is leading the site search effort, said that the Sandy Springs police HQ would work well with a number of area properties slated for redevelopment, allowing the developer/owner to bank the land and take advantage of the city’s strong credit while fully formulating redevelopment plans. Given the police department’s somewhat unusual requirements -- most office requirements don’t involve crime labs and ammunition storage -- a free-standing, single-tenant building is the most likely option. The Sandy Springs PD intends to be up and running by July.

The city, which is administered by construction and engineering firm CH2M Hill, originally leased about 32,000 square feet at Morgan Falls Building 500 in January and has since doubled its space. The Simpson Organization owns the property.
