Dunwoody building stock
Dunwoody counted 51,683 residents at the 2020 census and was incorporated as a city on December 1, 2008, in northern DeKalb County.
Dunwoody's office market contains about 8.5 million square feet, and Class A space accounts for about 94 percent of it.
About 2.5 million square feet of Dunwoody's office inventory sits in buildings between 500,000 and 1 million square feet, with another 1.1 million square feet in buildings above 1 million.

Climate, soiling and season in Dunwoody
Metro Atlanta has a humid subtropical climate with about 49.7 inches of rain a year, relative humidity from 61 percent in April to 75 percent in August and April pollen counts regularly above 2,000 particles per cubic meter, so curtain wall and shaded facades soil quickly.
Water-based washing pauses in freezing weather; the freeze dates shown are averages and the survey confirms the window for your building. Recurring clients are booked at the start of the window.
Flying and washing in Dunwoody
These are the rules that shape a job here; we plan around them at the survey, not on site.
Controlled airspace here needs FAA authorization before launch; LAANC grants it in advance and it is filed as part of scheduling.
Metro Atlanta sits under the Class B shelf around Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, where LAANC authorization is mandatory for any low-level operation inside the shelf.
Georgia law makes unmanned aircraft regulation an exclusive state power, so Dunwoody cannot write its own flight rules, though a local government may restrict launching and landing on public property it owns.
Flights stage from the client's own property with the owner's written consent; public parks and rights of way are not used as launch sites without a permit.
Rinse water is contained and recovered wherever the local storm-drain rule requires it, and the containment method is written into the proposal.
Any sidewalk or lane closure is permitted with the city before the job and its lead time is part of the schedule.
State-level drone law, licensing and the statewide season are on the Georgia page. See also where drones need permits.
