Daniel Fries Rennovated the old Corn House to Create Corporate Square
When Dan Fries decided to come back home to Cumming, not just any building project would do. That’s why the Forsyth County native is creating opportunities for small and mid-sized businesses in Corporate Square, an office park with suites starting in the $200,000s. Located near the downtown Cumming Square, the Southern-style office park includes the renovation of an old home, preservation of existing trees, and a scenic courtyard.
“Cumming and the town’s professionals deserve more than the cookie cutter office park,” says Fries. “Corporate Square provides doctors, lawyers or others to come in and personalize their office space in a distinctive environment. We stand out by blending in to the character of the community.”
Working with local contractors, Fries renovated the old “Corn” house, built by George Corn in the 1960s. His company is building six additional buildings surrounding a community courtyard, with exteriors presenting a gracious antebellum style. Wrought iron balconies from the second-floor spaces overlook the courtyard and offer mountain views. The first building will be ready for move-in this fall, and the second building is under construction. The renovated structure currently houses a law firm, a financial planner, a doctor and a real estate appraisal company.
Located near downtown Cumming, Corporate Square offers excellent access to major roads, including Highway 9, GA 20 and GA 400. Office space is available for purchase as suites starting in the mid $200,000s, or businesses can choose to customize and purchase an entire building starting at $499,900. Favorable financing terms are available, and ownership can cost less than renting a comparable space. Office plans and additional details are available at http://www.corporatesquare.net.
With a 25-year-career as an appraiser, Fries brings to the project an understanding of quality and value in construction. His experience also includes construction and renovations in Virginia Highlands, Buckhead, Roswell and Cape San Blas, Fla.
“I don’t cut corners,” says Fries. “I don’t like to come back unless it’s to hear how great we are.”
To visit Corporate Square from Atlanta, go north on GA 400 to exit 15. Turn left and go one mile to the Courthouse Square. Turn right on Dahlonega Street/Hwy. 9, then travel two blocks. The property is on the right at 347 Dahlonega Street.
