Paul Bodine talks hospitality, events and what’s ahead as Medley’s grand opening nears

Medley, the highly anticipated mixed-use development from Toro Development Company, opens in Johns Creek on October 29th — and in this episode of The Creek, host Rico Figliolini sits down with Paul Bodine, Toro’s Vice President of Community, to talk about what’s coming.

Bodine spent nearly a decade helping build and run Avalon before jumping at the chance to launch Medley from the ground up. And he shares how that experience is shaping everything from daily hospitality standards to how the property is designed to be watched, studied and continually fine-tuned once guests start using it.

Beyond the roughly 164,000 square feet of retail and restaurants, Bodine describes a vision built around hospitality: a concierge team that greets guests by name, more than 200 events planned each year, public art from Atlanta artist Greg Mike and a plaza designed specifically for people to gather.

At the heart of it all is Bodine’s belief that Medley can become Johns Creek’s “third place” — a spot outside of home and work where the community connects.

The conversation also covers what’s ahead after the grand opening, including The Prelude’s residential leasing, the 2027 arrival of Encore, a hotel planned for 2028 and a Medley job fair on September 16.

Six Takeaways

  1. A decade at Avalon shaped the plan. Paul Bodine spent 10 years helping run Avalon before Toro Development recruited him to launch Medley from the ground up — and he’s carrying both the wins and the lessons learned with him.
  1. Hospitality starts before the doors open. Every day, Medley’s team will prep the property ahead of its 10 a.m. opening — pressure-washing sidewalks, detailing landscaping, emptying trash — and hold twice-daily “line up” meetings to keep uniform and service standards consistent across the whole team.
  1. Everyone on site is treated as a Medley employee. Even third-party contractors get Medley uniforms and name tags, a deliberate move to build ownership and pride in the property — borrowed straight from the Avalon playbook.
  1. More than 200 events a year are planned. From weekly fitness classes and movie nights to major community gatherings, the team debriefs after every event to fine-tune what comes next.
  1. The goal is to become Johns Creek’s “third place.” Beyond the shops and restaurants, Medley is designed as a gathering spot outside home and work — built around concierge service, “jewel box” restaurant buildings along Medley Boulevard and a plaza with a stage, shade sails and green space.
  1. Growth doesn’t stop at the grand opening. The Prelude brings 300+ residential units online starting November 1. Encore will add 400+ more in 2027. A Mainsail-operated hotel is planned for 2028. Atlanta artist Greg Mike is installing public art on-site. And a job fair is set for September 16.

Transcript:

00:00:11 – Rico Figliolini

Hi, everyone. This is Rico Figliolini, host of The Creek, a podcast for Johns Creek, an extension of The Creek Magazine, which is a Johns Creek Magazine. We have a great guest today. It’s going to be the biggest event happening this year in October and I’m glad to have Paul Bodine, vice president of community here with me. Hey Paul, how are you?

00:00:18 – Paul Bodine

Good.

00:00:19 – Rico Figliolini

Good to have you here. So Paul is the VP of community for Toro Development Company, the people behind the Medley that’s going to be open here in John’s Creek. I think the grand opening is October 29th. How many days away are we? 

00:00:50 – Paul Bodine

We’re 84 days to go.

00:00:52 – Rico Figliolini

84 days away. I’ve been, you know, it’s been counting since 200 plus days or more, like for me, as far as being paying attention here. It’s just, you know, and when I learned a little bit about you, Paul, I realized that my daughter goes to Avalon all the time. And we live in Johns Creek, just five minutes, not even, south of Johns Creek. I mean, we live in Peachtree Corners, rather. And she goes to the Avalon all the time. So when I heard that you were part of that team there, heading that for 10 years. And then you decided to come here to do the Medley. I was like, wow, that’s impressive. To leave something that’s already set and going to start something from scratch. How’s that feeling of doing that?

00:01:38 – Paul Bodine

It was a great opportunity, an opportunity I couldn’t pass up, Rico. I’ve worked with Mark Toro before, and when he came to me with this project I jumped at the chance.

00:01:52 – Rico Figliolini

So does it, how when you started this, how did it feel to you like what the overwhelming, I mean how did it go? I mean what’s your responsibilities as VP of Community?

00:02:05 – Paul Bodine

I oversee all operations here at the property.

00:02:08 – Rico Figliolini

Leasing all that stuff?

00:02:11 – Paul Bodine

There’s a separate leasing team that handles the leases, but once the lease is executed it’s up to me and my team and the team around me to ensure that a tenant gets built out and delivered on time.

00:02:23 – Rico Figliolini

Got it. So you’re like the molder, the guy that’s putting it all together. So you’re walking that property, I got to believe, quite often.

00:02:32 – Paul Bodine

I am, every day, yes, sir.

00:02:34 – Rico Figliolini

Every day. Okay. So, you know, when you’re seeing things not working quite the way you want it to, or when you’re seeing things going well, I mean, there must be some pride in that, I would imagine.

00:02:43 – Paul Bodine

Yeah.

00:02:45 – Rico Figliolini

So because we’re talking about 164,000 square feet of retail and restaurant. I think the prelude at Medley has just started leasing. How many units on that one?

00:03:00 – Paul Bodine

A little over 300.

00:03:02 – Rico Figliolini

A little over 300. And I think Encore is going to come on later. And that’s what? Another?

00:03:07 – Paul Bodine

A little over 400.

00:03:08 – Rico Figliolini

400. So you’re going to have quite a bit of residents. And some of them are moving in November 1st, maybe?

00:03:14 – Paul Bodine

That’s correct.

00:03:15 – Rico Figliolini

Is that right? Yeah it’s gonna be and at this point you have national companies there on like Trader Joe’s and some national chains by the time you guys open October 29th. I mean I think there’s almost 80 retail that’s supposed to be showing up. Where will you be at that point?

00:03:36 – Paul Bodine

We’ll have great progress on who will be open in October. There’s a great chunk, a large chunk of all the retailers here at the property that will be.

00:03:46 – Rico Figliolini

I know Trader Joe’s is opened already. I haven’t visited yet. We have a Trader Joe’s right here in Peachtree Corners, but I understand that one is really big. I can’t wait to visit to see what that one looks like. So what did you find as your biggest challenge when you started there?

00:04:09 – Paul Bodine

You know, I hadn’t opened a property before. When I worked at Avalon, I came a year after Avalon opened. I started there in the beginning of 2016. Avalon had opened in October of 2014. So I missed some of that pre-opening experience and process. So like I said before, I jumped at the chance to get this experience. I’ve been at Avalon for 10 years. I love that property. I learned so much. So I used to be in the golf industry before and a gentleman by the name of Matt Simon who worked at the Grove in LA recruited me to come dabble on a meta golf course. Worked with him for a couple years. He was my mentor and taught me everything that I knew at Avalon that I’m carrying out here to Medley. Matt now works for Disney down in Florida. He was a mentor for me and taught me everything I knew. I also had another mentor by the name of Anila Respress, who worked for the Four Seasons Hotel with Matt Howard as well. She mentored me at Avalon. And so I can use all those skills that I learned there over the past 10 years to really fine tune Medley. Lessons learned, both positive and negative at Avalon that we’re bringing here.

00:05:27 – Rico Figliolini

So when you’re talking about what you learned, I mean, you’re talking about Disney, you’re talking about Four Seasons. I think hospitality, the hospitality industry and what it means to be on property at Disney. I mean, it’s just phenomenally clean. I mean, there’s only so many, so few businesses, I should say, that can really present to a customer the way a customer wants to be presented and to enjoy a property. And the stuff that’s not seen, is probably the stuff that would be felt most I bet if it was wrong right?

00:06:04 – Paul Bodine

Exactly. And that’s why at Avalon and at Medley we’ll have a whole process in the morning every day to get the property ready to open by 10 a.m. every day. To live up to those standards that you expect when you come. Pressure washing of the sidewalks, whether it’s the landscapers out there detailing the landscaping, it’s the housekeepers emptying the trash can, wiping down. That property’s got to be ready by time. So that’s our goal at everything.

00:06:34 – Rico Figliolini

So do you, you know, working at Avalon, did you learn to fine tune some of these things? What were things that you found that over the years probably had to be improved on or did differently? Anything?

00:06:47 – Paul Bodine

You know, a lot of these employees that we use to get the property ready are through third parties. And so I have a differentiator with us at Avalon and we’ll be at Medley is even though the employees out there conducting various duties are from a third party, we treat them as Medley employees. We foster that rapport, give them uniforms, give them a name tag. All of it says Medley. We get them fully bought into the property that they care about their job and about the property each and every day. And it shows in their work. We do a thing called line up every day at a concierge building at 10 a.m. and at 4 p.m. each day. All the operational teams get together at concierge. There we’re looking at uniform standards. We’re looking at grooming standards, ensuring that all of them. employees on the property are presentable each and every day and then from there we talk about any certain events throughout the day any sort of wow moments that employee wants to share where they assisted a guest or a tenant that they can enhance their experience. So we do that every day to ensure that that consistency and standard is in place.

00:08:06 – Rico Figliolini

I like the way you talk about it, guests because I think when a customer comes to a place customer, right? Person, the neighbor, an out-of-town visitor that might be visiting, let’s say. John’s Creek they don’t always think of themselves as a guest right? Going to shopping center if you will like this. But I’m glad that you know the, that you do right because every person that comes on that property has to be treated a certain way and to see that you know the hospitality part of it is like front and center is important. I think that’s a great experience because even if a restaurant or a retail place isn’t always the best experience, maybe, and hopefully they will be, at least being on property, they understand that. That’s the first impression they get when they park. Are you going to have concierge parking also?

00:09:01 – Paul Bodine

Yeah, in front, in the center of the property is a concierge building. A big component of what we do obviously and those services that they provide, and they provide the services to everybody on the property. So tenants, the residents, or the guests that visit and in front of that concierge building is our next day. So you know it starts to your point with the arrival experience with the great valet experience. In the event that you do valet, concierge is right there that will happen Mayor of Medley or doorman Jackson there to greet you with a smile. Concierge is there to assist you. If you need directions, it’s your first name there. If you need a bottle of water, an umbrella if it’s raining. And from there, you get your day started at Medley. And the same thing for the departure experience. We will ensure that it’s a good one.

00:09:50 – Rico Figliolini

I would imagine walking the property as it gets built out and stuff is real important. I remember speaking to the mayor here of Peachtree Corners. He loves just walking around different areas here. It feels like he owns the place. It’s just like the ownership of it, that you own it, you treat it as if it’s your own home. And I’m sure there’ll be things that you find that you want to improve upon. So when you do that, when you find those things, do you have that ability to say, okay, let’s get this? So let’s do this differently. Do you do that by committee or are you the guy that stops? 

00:10:33 – Paul Bodine

Everything stops there.

00:10:34 – Rico Figliolini

You’re the guy. So if things are going to change or if anything needs to be done, they go to you.

00:10:41 – Paul Bodine

It’s one of those fluid things too, right? In October, the property is going to open. Guests are going to come. We already have an office tenant here on the north side. And as you referenced earlier, Trader Joe’s opens. We already have office tenants and guests visiting the north side of the property to get the rest of it open. We watch every day how the guests interact with the property. One of the things that Tour Development Company does best is they look at all the hardscape common area, how the guests interact with the property, first 12, 20 feet up, that guest experience when they’re on the sidewalk. And they design all that very intentionally for that guest. So now I take it when the guests actually enter the property and they’re interacting with it, how they’re using it, what are their habits, and we watch that pattern to see how we can fine-tune that experience each and every day.

00:11:37 – Rico Figliolini

Yeah, that makes sense. I mean, you may assume people like to congregate in a certain place, but then you find that they’re doing it somewhere else, and maybe you need to shift out to a furniture or do things different.

00:11:47 – Paul Bodine

Exactly.

00:11:49 – Rico Figliolini

Yeah, and that tenant that just moved in, Ingl? I should know the name. Actually, my daughter works for them in the HR department, I think. And they just moved from Duluth to there. So they started this week going to the office.

00:12:08 – Paul Bodine

That’s correct.

00:12:09 – Rico Figliolini

Yeah. So she’s excited. I mean, literally, I mean, it’s about the same distance to the Duluth office, but it’s a straight shot up for her from here. And like I said, she’s 28, 29. And she’s experienced Avalon. She likes going to Avalon. And I have a feeling that this will be the same type of experience for her, right? So, you know, you have an audience. You have actually several audiences, right? You have the people that live there, people that are visiting from far away, people visiting from the surrounding areas that may be visiting. 200 plus events a year. Do you manage that as well, or how does that work?

00:12:53 – Paul Bodine

So the larger events will partner with the third party to help us operate, but most of the events that we put on will be done in-house through the course of my team with the marketing team, the engineers, as well as all those third parties that I recognize.

00:13:10 – Rico Figliolini

So how do you work that? I mean, programming for programming’s sake, maybe 200 events, mini events or large events a year is a lot. How do you make sure that that’s different? I mean that that, I don’t know, the experience is all different or maybe consistent with like Avalon like a brand like that type of place?

00:13:34 – Paul Bodine

So we’ll put an event plan together on what works for the community that we serve. We will execute those events on the property and one thing that we always do at every event we will eventually is, we’re on site for the event, most of the events. We’re similar to how we watch the guests interact with the property during the event. What works here? What doesn’t work here? We recap, we take notes during the event. Post-event, we meet, address all the notes, and fine-tune the next time. And so that number also includes weekly events that will be April through October. So that’s fitness events. Music events, movie events, have a screen in our 25,000 square foot pause as well to show movies. It’s all encompassing. And don’t mistake it thinking that every event is 10,000 plus.

00:14:33 – Rico Figliolini

No, I’m sure. Yeah, it’d be like Yoga on the Green or something, where it may be the sporting or something like that.

00:14:37 – Paul Bodine

I’d be encouraged, though, with the turnout. City Hall with the July 3rd event with Johns Creek. And I heard a 10 to 12,000 person attendance numbers show up there. So I think that the property and the events as a whole, the community here in Johns Creek is looking for its third place to call home. And we’re happy to welcome them here to Medley through the course of the events.

00:15:09 – Rico Figliolini

So that’s interesting too, the third place. How’d that come about? Describe, I mean, yeah, I could see it as a third place to show up. So how’d that work? How’d that come to mind?

00:15:20 – Paul Bodine

You know, it’s just always a saying that we used it at once. And we really got the staff to buy into that saying. All of the staff here at Medley will attend a hospitality training as well. They’ll be familiarized with the property long before they even step onto it. In the event that they do encounter a guest or a tenant or a resident that needs direction.

00:15:49 – Rico Figliolini

And the fact that the city of Johns Creek, I mean, this is, when I look at that city, 84,000 people, double the land area, I think, beneath the Peachtree Corners, north of the river, in between Alpharetta, Suwanee, Forsyth County, just a lot of people, a lot of area. And this seems to be like, going to be the focal point of everything in Johns Creek. Certainly part of the large and 192-acre build-out the city wants to do. But, you know, they’re not going to be hanging out at City Hall. They’re going to be hanging out at the Medley, you know. 

00:16:30 – Paul Bodine

I think that they’ve done a great job with the walkability and the green space, the open container. They are paving the way for this area to be very special in Medley’s honor.

00:16:48 – Rico Figliolini

Yeah. So how does that work? How has working with John’s Creek? Will John’s Creek work with you? The city government, how’s that worked? Good? Bad?

00:16:59 – Paul Bodine

So far we attended the state of the city, very encouraged by the community there, turnout, responsiveness. The sense of caring about their community that they have that you can’t instill in people. I mean, the residents here truly do care. And, you know, to your point that you made earlier, a lot of the residents here are driving to Avalon. They’d love to have their own Avalon, their own place to call home. So we’re happy to deliver that to them. And we’re excited to show them all that’s in store.

00:17:37 – Rico Figliolini

I noticed also that. You know, part of that community building and enjoyment is also with the arts, right? You guys are using or have taken on artist Greg Mike, launching some murals and stuff. So he’s been phenomenal in Atlanta. Now bringing him north outside the perimeter. So tell us a little bit about that. How’d you guys get him and what inspired you to do that? And what is he going to actually be doing over the next, I don’t know, few months?

00:18:08 – Paul Bodine

It’s Greg Mike and the ABV. Our marketing team had reached out to him and kind of showed him the project and the vision for it. And he came out and walked in, really loved the site, was able to find some truly special places here on the property to install his artwork as well as other artists within the team.

00:18:31 – Rico Figliolini

Okay. Well, that’s great to be able to have a well-known artist like that from Atlanta, be able to work out there. The Prelude, that’s the first residential phase that started leasing up. I guess that’s where the first tenant would be going on November 1st, apparently. Everything’s on track. How has that been going? Has that been a little challenge there at all or anything new that’s there that people should know about?

00:19:03 – Paul Bodine

No, it’s just getting started. The team that we have worked with in the past is coming over to assist us with the pre-leasing and then eventually the operation. So that’s another piece that we already have that rapport, I’m saying more so myself and the Prelude team. We have that cohesiveness that we built in years prior to know how to partner through the course of this project in Medley and beyond. But it’s just getting started. There’s information on our website to to get in contact with them but they’ll be offering tours here shortly and you can get over and start to look at the units and really start to see the vision.

00:19:51 – Rico Figliolini

So they’re going to have already pre-furniture like showcase rooms to apartments to look at? 

00:19:58 – Paul Bodine

Eventually they will. Yes sir.

00:20:03 – Rico Figliolini

Okay. We’re going to have a little site map on the website when this goes live. So people could check that in the show notes and stuff. But to describe it to people, you have the vision sort of behind me here, a little bit of a little small part of it. So when they drive in, like you said, the concierge area and stuff, is prevalent the apartments above the retail? So describe a little bit the layout of the land, if you will, of what’s where as you’re going in.

00:20:37 – Paul Bodine

Sure. So if you come in off of McGinnisbury and you turn on to Medley Boulevard, Medley Boulevard runs east to west. So when you drive down, you’ll have one building on your right, another building on your left, and you’ll see these small buildings in the middle of the boulevard. So the Boulevard’s one lane. It’s got kind of a median in the middle. And those buildings in the middle of Medley Boulevard are what we call jewel boxes. And typically they’re food and beverage use. And so we intentionally create those jewel boxes that are food and beverage based that have rooftop bars or outdoor seating to enhance the guest experience and create that energy in the middle of Medley Boulevard. But you can’t replicate it. So as you drive in, and obviously once you get out, you can feel it more walking down. But as you come down Medley Boulevard, eventually the concierge building on the left-hand side, you’ll see the valet drive, you’ll see the invited steps up to the plaza where eventually the hotel will sit on it.

00:21:49 – Rico Figliolini

So people can live upstairs from the retail and stuff, and they can just come downstairs and visit. Just like they would do in Buckhead or anywhere, Brookhaven, inside the city. Because you don’t see that much. I mean, you don’t see much of that out in the suburban area, if you will.

00:22:07 – Paul Bodine

Yeah, exactly.

00:22:08 – Rico Figliolini

Yeah, Halcyon, I think, was one that people look at. But this is way different than that, I think. So you have that going on. You’re going to have a hotel that is planned to open in ‘28, I think. Mainsail or run by Mainsail.

00:22:24 – Paul Bodine

That’s right.

00:22:25 – Rico Figliolini

And that’ll be part of close in to the retail part of that property as well?

00:22:30 – Paul Bodine

It sits right on the plaza

00:22:32 – Rico Figliolini

Right on the plaza, okay.

00:22:36 – Paul Bodine

If you come and visit the property in October and beyond, the plaza intentionally has restaurants all around a little different than what we did at Avalon in the sense that there are soft foods on the plaza there. But here we put all restaurants with outdoor patios and outdoor seating that, quote unquote, spill into the plaza. So you have that. It would be similar to what we did with the jewel boxes in the middle of another boulevard. It spills into the green space. Obviously, if you have young children and the adults are on the patio that they can frequent and utilize the green space while the adults are enjoying a meal. The stage in the plaza was very intentionally designed with speakers and lights and LED screen all to enhance the events. Very intentionally designed to make that plaza space feel and enhance that guest experience. We also have shade sails in there. So the plaza is really going to be a special place and one of the best places.

00:23:46 – Rico Figliolini

I would imagine. That would have been great to have while FIFA was around. That’s watch. That would have been cool. So in companies like Borentia, Ingelheim, there’s 73,000 square foot office space. But there are other companies coming in. There’s another large. Who’s the second large company that’s near there?

00:24:10 – Paul Bodine

We’ve got a couple more exciting office tenants to come.

00:24:13 – Rico Figliolini

You do? Okay. Can’t wait to hear. They’re going to love the restaurants all being in one place.

00:24:19 – Paul Bodine

That’s what I told the Boehringer employees. They had an open house on Friday and they were very excited to come. Their office space is beautiful. They did a great job. This is just a small sample size. Wait until October when everything else gets open. It’s really going to be special.

00:24:41 – Rico Figliolini

I’m sure they can’t wait. It’s going to be good. So I guess there’s other developments nearby. I think Boston Scientific opened their new facility. Of course, you have Emory Johns Creek expanding their stuff. So Johns Creek is a really growing, growing place. I mean, it’s not like you’re in a place where you have to build out into necessarily. It is right there. So, I mean, you guys will be busy even before your multifamily is all filled out or built up or stuff like that. I can see that happening.

00:25:18 – Paul Bodine

Absolutely. And phase two encore is what we’re planning for ‘27. 

00:25:27 – Rico Figliolini

I guess it’s coming next after this, not that I want to run ahead of you or anything.

00:25:30 – Paul Bodine

No, no, no. It opens after the grand opening.

00:25:32 – Rico Figliolini

What’s the next milestone after that? Is it the Encore in ’27? Or is it other things?

00:25:41 – Paul Bodine

It will be. There’ll be a combination of Phase 2 and that building across from Medley Crossing. It’ll be the hotel. And then we’ve got a handful of exciting tenants to announce down the road that are still in the original phase. There’s a lot more to come. 

00:26:00 – Rico Figliolini

Yes. I know how you guys like to keep tight-lipped on those things. No one wants to say anything until it’s like ready, almost open. It’s amazing. It’s exciting, though. And we’re loving to be able to cover this, which we do in almost every issue now. And I’m glad that we’re able to do these types of podcasts as well, Paul, to learn a bit more. Probably schedule another one as we get past October to find out a little bit more of some of the retail that’s coming in. I think that would be a good thing. Maybe we can even do it in person, live. I think that would be a great way of doing that. Do we have anything else you want to share that maybe we haven’t covered?

00:26:47 – Paul Bodine

I think we covered most of the notes that I have here.

00:26:51 – Rico Figliolini

Yeah, me too. I mean, I made my notes and I thought, you know, I think we covered everything. Of course, if anyone that’s watching or listening, whether it’s on Apple or Google Play or if you’re watching on YouTube, Twitter, or Facebook, leave your comments. Tag the Medley. But leave your comments. We’ll find those answers for you. And we’ll post those. And, of course, we’re doing follow-up coverage. And our October-November issue is the cover story is the Medley. And we’ll have lots of things in there that you can look at as well. Read more about, follow us on social media. Paul, where can they find out more information about the Medley? What’s the website address or social media that they can follow?

00:27:35 – Paul Bodine

I’ll send you that website address. Our new website’s getting ready to go live here in about two weeks. So we’ve got a brand new site coming online.

00:27:46 – Rico Figliolini

Excellent. And then as far as, let me see, Medley Johns Creek is the Instagram account. People can follow there. So just Medley Johns Creek. Follow the social media and you can find out a bit more about what’s going on there. I know they’re going to be doing, you guys are doing, I think, a fundraiser for the John’s Creek Symphony Orchestra October 28th. So the tickets to be had if you want to support them. It’s glad to see you guys in supporting the local nonprofits like the Symphony Orchestra.

00:28:17 – Paul Bodine

Absolutely. We’ll also be having a job fair next month as well. I’ll share with you guys. We’ll have a dedicated area on our website for tenants where we will post their job opportunities. If you do want to come and work at Medley, we’ll have a job fair next month. Looking at September 16th in the afternoon, we’ll post it here on the site where all the tenants can come. And if anybody’s looking for a job or secondary job, we’ll have it.

00:28:50 – Rico Figliolini

Excellent. I’ll make sure that we put out that link once we have everything in place. So we’ve been speaking to Paul Bodine, VP of Community at Toro Development Company, of course, in Medley, which is grand opening October 29th. Paul, I appreciate you being with me. Thank you.

00:29:08 – Paul Bodine

Nice to meet you, Rico. Appreciate your time. Look forward to it. 

00:29:10 – Rico Figliolini

Yeah, no, for sure. Hang in with me for a second. Everyone else, thank you. If you want additional information, look at the show notes on the website. Follow us on social media. The Johns Creek Magazine is the social media Instagram tag. Thank you for listening.
