Sandy Springs Commercial Real Estate Services
Office and medical office space across Sandy Springs and the Central Perimeter. Boutique commercial real estate representation for businesses, owners, and investors at the intersection of I-285 and GA-400
Cumberland & Worthy represents businesses, property owners, and investors across Sandy Springs and the Central Perimeter. We lease office and medical office space, sell and acquire commercial property, and advise on portfolio decisions in one of the largest suburban commercial markets in the Southeast. Every client works directly with a senior broker through every stage of the engagement.
The Sandy Springs Market
Sandy Springs operates two distinct commercial real estate markets. The Central Perimeter office corridor — 22 million square feet of Class A and Class B office product clustered along I-285 and GA-400 — anchors the broader submarket and houses major corporate headquarters including Mercedes-Benz USA, UPS, and Inspire Brands. Pill Hill, the medical district anchored by Northside Hospital, Emory Saint Joseph's, and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite, operates as a separate market with its own tenant base, pricing dynamics, and supply constraints. Tenants, owners, and investors evaluating Sandy Springs should treat the two markets independently.
Central Perimeter Office
Central Perimeter is the largest suburban office submarket in metro Atlanta, with MARTA rail access at Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, and Medical Center stations. The submarket spans Perimeter Center, Ashford-Dunwoody, Lake Hearn Drive, and the Hammond Drive corridor, with landmark assets including Perimeter Summit, Ravinia, Concourse, and the High Street mixed-use redevelopment.
Average asking rents across all classes sit at approximately $31.37 per square foot full service gross, with Class A averaging $32.49. Vacancy is approximately 28.3% and has declined for two consecutive quarters from a 28.5% peak. Sublease availability has declined for six consecutive quarters, down more than 30% from its 2023 peak. Approximately 3 million square feet of obsolete office product is planned for conversion, redevelopment, or owner-user occupancy, which will materially reduce supply over the next several years.
For Central Perimeter office tenants, landlords, and investors, we maintain a dedicated submarket page covering inventory, current availabilities, and active market dynamics. → Central Perimeter Office Space
Pill Hill Medical Office
Pill Hill is one of the tightest medical office submarkets in metro Atlanta. On-campus medical office buildings adjacent to Northside, Emory Saint Joseph's, and Scottish Rite quote in the range of $32 to $38 per square foot full service. Off-campus buildings within a half-mile radius of the hospital core run $28 to $34. Vacancy across the medical submarket runs in the high single digits, materially tighter than the surrounding general office market.
Medical practices price location differently than office tenants. Proximity to admitting hospital, surgical privileges, referral network, and shared imaging or infrastructure carries economic weight that does not show up in rent per square foot. Specialty practices dependent on hospital referrals or hospital-based procedural volume often achieve revenue performance that justifies on-campus premium pricing. Primary care, pediatrics, and outpatient-focused practices with neighborhood referral patterns frequently perform better in lower-cost suburban locations.
We represent medical practices, MOB owners, and healthcare investors across Pill Hill and the broader Sandy Springs healthcare market. For medical office representation across metro Atlanta, including Pill Hill, we maintain a dedicated practice page. → Medical Office Representation
