ATLANTA | Viewpoint | 501 FT / 153 M | 36 FLOORS
Well, since construction has seemed to have gotten underway, I guess we can start a sub-forum on this project to post pictures and updates. The first phase, which is under construction now will be 36 stories and will have 383 one and two bedroom units. The ground floor will have 30,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space, supposedly on two levels (that is a first for Midtown, I think).
Here is the original rendering before it was changed to a three tower project: http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...y-original.jpg Here is the updated rendering of the first phase (under construction now) without the other two towers: http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...gy-updated.jpg Finally, here are some construction photos of the site being cleared and prep-work being started. These were originally posted by DeliaC on 6/5/2006 in the Atlanta Construction Forum: http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...2182/845-1.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...2182/845-2.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...2182/845-3.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...2182/845-4.jpg I can't wait to see this one go up!!! :banana: Webcam: http://oxblue.com/client/novare/viewpoint/ |

Slowly the gap between upper Midtown and SoNo is filling in. Soon the BOA building won't be so lonely.
|
I really like this one for some reason... can't wait to see it go up!
|
Novare is my hero! Great news that this is under construction, now when will they or have they already began this beauty?

That tower is going to be indeed a beauty. Can you imagine it at night with the lightning effects it will have?! |
Does anyone know how much of the retail will be completed with the first phase of this project and how much will be completed with the future phases?
|
Does anybody know why they didn't demolish Loca Luna and McCray's? Is there just going to be one tower under construction for now?
|
They'll both stay until phase II. McCrays will reopen in the 2nd tower as far as I've read.
|
Is there anything going next to the project were the parking lot is?
|
A 40 Story residential tower from Hines and a boutique hotel.
|
Where exactly is this site located? How far away from the Bank of America Tower? Is it kinda of in between the Bank of America Tower and the Bell South Building?
|
Those are great looking towers. I really like that Trilogy project.

It's right across the street from Spire on Peachtree St.......about mid way between the BOA tower and the 14th st cluster of highrises.
|
How is the project selling? Just curious what the chances are we see tower 2 and 3 any time soon or whether the market for these style Novare towers is cooling. Obviously people are predicating the market will cool, I'm curious if it really is.

I remain convinced that recent intown developments have created more of a market and that the city in general and Midtown especially are among the hottest adresses in this large metro. I also think that when "destination" retail arrives on Peachtree, which Novare aims to do with this project, its a whole new ballgame. |
Have any height figures been released? Tower 1 which is 36 floors appears to be at least 470 to 480 feet to the main roof and in the 530 to 540 foot range to the tip of the spires.

Generally it seems Novare average about 12 ft per floor, as a median of the other projects. 432 ft is that median. I doubt it will hit 500 but it'll be good infill none the less.

Does anyone have different info on the south parking lot that essentially serves 805 Peachtree? |
good lord this thing is a beast!

Grading, and getting ready to lay some pipes which probably have a more technical name than just "pipes." The retaining wall between the Starbucks parking lot and the site has come down, as has the halfway house that flanked the Neil Reid building.

Novare's typical cookie cutter shit.
|
cookie cutter at least... i don't mind it that much, it's infill. (and when it's called for, they do up the ante - eg the atlantic)

Question... there are two pictures for this project... the phase I picture (with one building) is being built now, right? Will the other two buildings be the ones from the phase II picture or will they be more in the style of phase I? I seem to remember someone mentioning that they might all be in that Spire-minus-the-spire phase-I style (I hope not. :yuck:).
|
I think all three of them will look like the one under construction now. Phase II is meant to be the same heigh as I

Don't forget Allen Plaza :) There will be lots of retail, some two stories as well.
|
It sure looks like a nice tower.
|
On the Atlanta forum it was mentioned that the height is 501 feet, would that be just to the height of the main roof or the height including the spires?
|
Quote:
|
Makes sense, looks also like the height of the main roof is about 450 feet, maybe a little more.
|
Irregardless of roof height or spire height, this will stand up nicely in that area of town.
|
This should get put on the Atlanta city page on this website as well as the height updated on Emporis.
|
|
Excellent..thanks, Jason!

Surely, They'll have to keep that. Is it actually protected though? He of course has nicer buildings (like the Reed House) but still, it's a nice little example of his work and a good example of midtown apartments from the period. Are they apts. or condos? Seems like they'd almost have to be converted to luxury historic condos to keep up with the market. Does anyone know what the actual units are like? He also did that 8-9 story apartment building on the peachtree corner on the street that runs on the north side of the Biltmore (7th?). Someone should fix that one up into a nice boutique hotel. |
Novare will be rennovating the Reed apartments. I don't know that it's protected , I think it's moreso respected.
|
I wonder why Novare didn't request the webcam to be put atop Spire? Isn't that Spire right across the street and wouldn't that have afforded a superior view?
|
:previous: Too close to the action. They wouldn't be able to fit the entire building into a shot after about 15 floors.
|
aha...didn't think of that. I'm sure that's precisely the reason. Bingo.
|
Looks like the crane is going up!!!

Is that 905 Juniper to the left in the webcam view of Viewpoint?
|
Quote:
I was just thinking, imagine what that exact view looked like in say 2000. The changes in that time period are truly amazing. |
The location of Viewpoint on peachtree, will be one of the most urban areas in the south within the next few years when when current projects are completed.
1010 pt. metropolis spire viewpoint 1 viewpoint 2 viewpoint 3 Hines 1 hines 2 Cousin tower 1,2, and possibly 3 just to the south. All with good, great, or excellent streetlevel retail. |

I attended a couple of the DRC meetings for this project and the top picture in post 1 was the original plan and should no longer be used as a reference. At that time, Novare didn't own the 25% of the property at 7th/Juniper so it was only a 2 bldg project(43 & 30 stories). One of the big objections was that Juniper was being treated as an alley with both buildings fronting P'tree. (Note the long glass-covered entrance to the back bldg. Anyway, the project will now have up to 3 bldgs. The first one being 36 stories and the next two, if built, 33 stories each. They will now face Juniper and the retail will wrap all the way around and include retail on Juniper. The parking structures will be built in such a way that as each phase is completed, the parking deck will be connected to the previous bldgs parking deck, forming a single mega-deck with a single very-large ammenities space on the 10th floor. The big change in the first bldg I think is that instead of the patio at the corner of 6th/P'tree, there will actually be an architectural entrance to the shopping. I think the patio was only there at the time because the front entrance of the smaller bldg facing p'tree. So it could have a P'tree address of course. It's been a few months since the last meeting so a lot of this could have changed but the photo I'm seeing for Phase I appears to be the same one and I don't remember any objections at the last DRC. I have also heard recently that McCray's finally agreed to sell out their lease and move in the spring so that will help Novare build the entire phase I retail component. |
