Sandy Springs is a subterranean subway stop located on MARTA's Red Line within Sandy Springs, Georgia. Since its inauguration on December 16, 2000, it has catered to the Perimeter Center district, characterized by towering office complexes near GA-400 and Perimeter Mall. The station features a pedestrian underpass beneath Abernathy Road, granting direct connectivity to the North Park and WestRock business complexes. Its parking structure currently spans six levels, with provisions to extend to seven floors. The concourse incorporates knockout panels designed to accommodate future private underground entryways. Unique red and green panels on the northbound and southbound platforms assist commuters in navigation.

Prominent nearby commercial sites include the Art Institute of Atlanta, American Intercontinental University, UPS World Headquarters, the North Park and Embassy Row business parks, Cox Communications’ main office, and the Atlanta Georgia Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Additionally, this station is adjacent to a sizeable retail hub that houses a multiplex cinema—the sole MARTA station with such a facility in close proximity.
