A local developer has filed its official plans to build a 50-story hotel with condominiums and retail space at 1138 Peachtree Street in Atlanta.

As first reported by Atlanta Business Chronicle in March, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group is planning to open a luxury hotel as well as condominiums on Peachtree Street between 1100 Peachtree and the Atlanta Woman's Club on the site of what is now a surface parking lot.

Atlanta-based Tivoli Properties Inc. is the developer for the project, and on Thursday submitted its formal plans to the state as a development of regional impact. The plans call for a 200-room hotel, 70 high-rise condos and 11,500 square feet of retail space. Pending permit approvals, the project will break ground and be finished in 2010.

Hong Kong-based Mandarin Oriental, known for its fan logo and five-star luxury, is in the midst of a major expansion, with the goal of operating 10,000 rooms in major business centers and key leisure destinations around the world.

Unless they build a 400 foot spire, it sounds as if Shirley was a bit off...
