The surface lot is no good, but otherwise I like this project. It adds density as well as a different type of housing (co-living) adjacent to the under-construction westside Beltline.

There’s a power easement that prohibits anything but parking there. Sad but true.

I just heard Star Metals is being sold to a single tech company. Also Allen Morris, Star Metals developer, is going to develop another mixed-use project and a hotel.

And yet somehow DCP/Atlanta City Design isn’t marking more of Northwest Atlanta as a growth corridor. I get they’re trying to preserve some industrial… but it’s already happening. Might as well acknowledge market trends. Everything east of Crest Lawn and south/west of the tracks (to Crest Lawn’s east) will be redeveloped or reactivated.

The building is currently 65% leased.

The land development permit has been issued.

Is it just me, or do the Star Metals buildings look unfinished?

The lettering on the mess covering is missing still. The landscaping looks terrible also. Maybe they're not finished? idk...

Maybe they secured an anchor tenant and will put their name on it instead of star metals. Like AirBnB

They announced a few weeks ago that they're establishing their new East Coast tech center here.

I've seen things that suggested that the Morris Company sold it all to an unnamed tech company. Not totally sure how legit it is, though. Anyone else know anything?

AirBnB is taking WeWork's space in 725 Ponce. Should be announced shortly.

Another Westside project is ready for construction as the land development permit has been issued for the apartments.

QTS Realty Trust says it will allow Atlanta BeltLine Inc. access to its property to build a critical link of the multi-use trail that would connect the Westside to Buckhead.

The agreement is not final and comes after years of negotiations between Atlanta BeltLine officials and the data center giant. Without an easement on the company's massive campus between Jefferson Street and West Marietta Boulevard, closing the 22-mile BeltLine loop is threatened, according to top officials.

Doug Hooker, executive director of the Atlanta Regional Commission, wrote in a June 15 letter to Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms that it was "extremely concerning" QTS had not yet finalized the easement.

"Any actions that prevent the viability of this corridor for transit in the future could jeopardize federal funding and other long-term opportunities on a project that has seen significant taxpayer investment," he said.

If the QTS property is rezoned for the mixed-use development without granting the BeltLine the easement, there is "significant risk to losing this potential Atlanta BeltLine corridor for public use," wrote BeltLine senior transportation engineer Shaun Green in his June 10 review of the QTS expansion.
