Commercial and Residential Locksmiths in Sandy Springs, GA

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Planned commercial, mixed-use developments and apartment buildings in Sandy Springs may soon be required to submit water supply tests before construction can begin.

The Sandy Springs City Council is slated to consider at its March 3 meeting a requirement that large projects in the city be mandated to conduct water supply and fire flow tests before being approved for development.

The meeting begins at 6 p.m. at Sandy Springs City Hall, Studio Theatre, 1 Galambos Way.

The meeting agenda is available by clicking here. A live stream of the meeting can be viewed by clicking here.

Sandy Springs Fire Chief Keith Sanders is asking the council to amend the Fire Prevention and Protection ordinance to require a Water Supply and Fire Flow Adequacy Study for “larger or higher-impact projects.”

The study is necessary to ensure the city can provide fire protection and water needs for new development, Sanders said in a memo to the council.

“Anticipated growth, especially commercial and mixed-use developments, requires us to proactively guard against future water capacity constraints and ensure these projects can be adequately served without compromising service to existing structures,” Sanders said.

Sanders also noted that the city of Atlanta owns and operates the water system in Sandy Springs. He said because of this, “the City of Sandy Springs must manage development responsibly.”

Sandy Springs has purchased water from Atlanta since its incorporation in 2005. The relationship has not been friendly.

Over the years, Sandy Springs has filed several lawsuits regarding water service and infrastructure reliability. Sandy Springs is also challenging Atlanta’s 21 percent water surcharge.

In June, a special master ruled Atlanta could not charge Sandy Springs residents the surcharge. Atlanta appealed, and in December, a DeKalb County Superior Court judge ruled the surcharge was legal. Now, Sandy Springs is appealing that decision.

Roni Avraham, a prominent luxury real estate developer operating across Georgia and Florida, has announced a strategic partnership with German Kitchen Center (GKC) for his latest project, a 17-unit luxury boutique condominium in Sandy Springs. The collaboration introduces a distinctive “structured customization” model that allows purchasers to personalize their residences within a managed framework.

As part of the full interior package, German Kitchen Center is supplying all kitchens, bathroom vanities, and laundry rooms across the building. Unlike traditional condo developments that often avoid customization due to logistical complexity, Avraham’s model leverages GKC’s specialized systems to manage upgrades without disrupting construction timelines.

“My non-negotiable is that the product has to feel intentional… an experience that makes buyers feel like they’re stepping into a real home,” said Roni Avraham. “GKC brought systems, structure, and a buyer-facing experience that reduced risk for the development and improved the purchase experience.”

The project, known as VIO, has seen a significant market response to this flexibility. The majority of buyers have opted to upgrade their selections, helping the project stand out in the luxury market and move units faster than standard “one-size-fits-all” developments. By working directly with the GKC design team, buyers receive a professional, tailored experience that elevates the perceived value of the entire building.

This successful model demonstrates that structured customization through a trusted partner serves as a competitive advantage for developers while delivering a superior final product for homeowners.

SANDY SPRINGS, GA — The United Parcel Service is planning to cut up to 30,000 jobs and shutter 24 buildings this year, Chief Financial Officer Brian Dykes said on a quarterly earnings call held Tuesday.

Dykes, on the webcast viewed by Patch, said the Atlanta-based package company will lessen its operational hours by about 25 million and will further evaluate additional buildings to close in the second quarter. He did not say where the closings will occur.

Impacted full-time drivers would be offered a voluntary separation package, Dykes said.

This comes after UPS slashed 48,000 operational jobs last year, terminating 15,000 seasonal positions and pulling the curtain on 93 leased and owned buildings.

"We continue to review expected changes in volume in our integrated air and ground network to identify additional buildings for closure. From this initiative, we computed year over year cost savings of approximately $3.5 billion in 2025," UPS said in a news release.

In April 2025, President Donald Trump placed a 145 percent tariff on goods from China, a major source of goods for retail giant Amazon, UPS' largest customer.

The cost-cutting effort was linked to fewer deliveries from Amazon. In January 2025, UPS announced it had reached a deal with Amazon to lower its volume by more than 50 percent by the second half of 2026.

"We've been partnered to Amazon for nearly 30 years, and we hold that company in high regard," CEO Carol Tome said in the company's 2024 fourth-quarter earnings call. "Amazon is our largest customer, but it's not our most profitable customer."

As UPS pulls away from Amazon, Dykes on Tuesday said the company is targeting another $3 billion in savings this year. He added UPS is striving to "glide down its Amazon pieces" by 1,000 per day.

The company is hoping to profit a consolidated $89.7 billion by the end of the year, he said.

UPS has 289 stores in Georgia, and its headquarters is in Atlanta. The company also has major distribution centers in Duluth and Tifton.
