Toro Development’s Medley project in Johns Creek Town Center has secured a 73,000-square-foot office lease with Boehringer Ingelheim and is slated to open to the public on Oct. 29, 2026, the developer announced. Boehringer plans to move into its new headquarters in summer 2026 with nearly 500 employees, a timing set to precede the community’s grand opening.

The 43-acre mixed-use development carries a reported $560 million price tag and broke ground in January 2025, Toro and local coverage show. Medley is being built on a formerly defunct office campus that previously housed two State Farm buildings; Toro razed a functionally obsolete building on the site to accommodate the new office, retail, residential and hotel components.

Brokers quoted by Toro’s announcement described the Boehringer lease as the largest new Class-A office lease north of the Perimeter in nearly five years, a market claim that underscores the size of the deal for Atlanta’s northern suburbs. Boehringer’s presence continues the company’s Georgia footprint, which includes manufacturing operations in Gainesville and Athens and a recent expansion of its global research and development building in Athens.

In developer materials and local reporting, Medley is pitched as a “first day-to-night destination” offering a boutique hotel, lifestyle office space, multifamily residences, for-sale townhomes and an activated central plaza with fitness and entertainment concepts. The Creek reported on Dec. 15, 2025 that retail and dining space at Medley was “over 75% leased already,” and published a roster that includes CRÚ Wine Bar and Bistro, Fogón and Lions, Rena’s Italian Fishery & Grill, Fadó Irish Pub, Playa Bowls, Cookie Fix, Summit Coffee, Lily Sushi Bar, Knuckies Hoagies, 26 Thai Kitchen and Bar, Five Daughters Bakery, Minnie Olivia Pizzeria Café and Amorino Italian Gelato.

Dining anchors announced ahead of opening include STIR, which NorthAtlantaStar reports plans a 6,000-square-foot cocktail bar and scratch kitchen at Medley with a companion bar facing the central plaza and intends to open on day one. Medley’s Instagram account is also being used to announce additional tenants, according to coverage by The Creek.

Public infrastructure projects are timed to link Medley to the wider Town Center. The City of Johns Creek broke ground on The Boardwalk at Town Center, a 21-acre park behind City Hall at 11360 Lakefield Drive, on Aug. 23, 2024, with Mayor John Bradberry, Mayor Pro Tem Dilip Tunki and council members Stacy Skinner, Larry DiBiase and Erin Elwood on hand alongside Sen. Michelle Au. The city also broke ground on a pedestrian tunnel under Medlock Bridge Road in November 2024; the tunnel, designed as an arch culvert underpass, is expected to be complete in summer 2026 and to link retail on the west side of Medlock Bridge Road to the Town Center and new park.

Local commentary in NorthAtlantaStar argues that the tunnel and Lakefield Drive redesign will remove a long-standing barrier and create a street experience, and that Medley’s retail announcements are already shaping Johns Creek’s retail future ahead of the Oct. 29, 2026 opening. Renderings and an amphitheater illustration for Medley have been published with local coverage as the project progresses toward its coordinated public-works timeline.
