Perimeter is a major
business districts, and one of the largest edge cities in the United States, comprising over 29 million square feet (2,700,000 m2) of office space, 6 million square feet (560,000 m2) of retail space, and 40,000 residents.[2][1]
History
Like many edge cities, Perimeter was
regional mall in metro Atlanta. Perimeter Mall was named after the 64-mile (103 km) long Interstate 285 which circles
Atlanta’s perimeter, and at one time was the edge of Atlanta’s suburban extent.
Since the opening of the mall just a few years after the freeway, Perimeter was developed though
Sandy Springs and North Springs
stations in 2000.
Perimeter was a focal point for the incorporation of Sandy Springs in 2005 and Dunwoody in 2008, with Brookhaven incorporating the remainder (southward from the Dunwoody
tax base in the new city, the lawsuit
never came to fruition.
Government
Perimeter spans two
community improvement districts, set-up by the two counties to improve the area. While legally separate, they work together as a single entity.[1]
The core of Perimeter has its own
ZIP code
, 30346, which covers the southwest corner of Dunwoody. To the north and east, the remainder of the city is 30338, with 30328 to the west for most of Sandy Springs, and 30319 to the south for nearly all of Brookhaven. Their boundaries with 30346 follow the mutual city limits at the county line and I-285, respectively.
Because incorporation occurred well after the establishment of the codes, all four still default to "Atlanta" when doing a reverse lookup. However,
street addresses
. Despite being common throughout the rest of the metro area, the only major street to change names is Abernathy Road in Fulton, now named Perimeter Center West in DeKalb.
In 1995, Perimeter left
