FLOWERY BRANCH - Flowery Branch's quiet downtown is about to branch out.

Hortman and Dobbs Developers will begin in late summer building a 3-acre, roughly $15 million mixed-used development along Chestnut, Church and Pines streets and Railroad Avenue.

The project, named Old Town Flowery Branch, will hold 21 condominiums, 14 lofts and seven townhomes for sale. About 35,000 square feet of retail and office space will be available for lease, said Marty Hortman, developer and 20-year Flowery Branch resident. A parking deck and half-acre park are also planned.
