That model is insane. What a paradigm shift it would be for activity downtown if it's built out as modeled. Super impressive.

Agreed. You can tell the master planners are from London and actually understand how to create exceptional urbanism.

Here you go from this morning. A lot of the work is 50' below street level at this point so NO WAY to see it from a car.

wow! Reverb looks so underwhelming in that photo. I have yet to see it in person. Is it any better in person? Please tell me it's better in person.

Not really, it is on the edge and starts getting "sketchy" farther down and they are building a "junky" 5 over 1 on the south side (white). I think it will be kinda lost in the corner of Centennial Yards.

I don't think most people in Atlanta even know what Fairlie-Poplar even is, let alone have ever set foot in the neighborhood.

Well, if more people knew about it and set foot there they'd have to change the name to Very-Poplar.

(Sorry....I'm a dad to 4 kids. I have no choice. I must make these jokes.)

And while we are waiting for infrastructure to "rise up" out of the Gulch.

Full summer foliage. Hopefully the LAST time it will look this way.

Hope this view is different by next year.

Disappear Gulch.

During a one-hour interview on Aug. 30, McGowan embraced the idea of Centennial Yards fulfilling its historic role as the city’s crossroads by saying the company would welcome Amtrak having a station as part of the massive retail, office, entertainment and residential project.

“We would love for [passenger] rail to be part of the project,” McGowan said. “What a great amenity that would be. To add an Amtrak station would be fantastic. We would love to have an Amtrak station. It would be nothing but a value-add.”

McGowan repeated those sentiments several times to make sure he had made the point. And he also sent Amtrak a message.

“We would try to accommodate whatever Amtrak would want to do,” McGowan said. “But we have to balance that with the fact that this is a private development and there are investors. A lot depends on how fast they can move. They have got to move fast because we’re moving fast. It would be fantastic to have an Amtrak stop.”

And increased amount of housing

“The bottom line is that this will become a new neighborhood with 7,000 to 8,000 people living down here,” McGowan said. “We really want to build something unique to Atlanta. If you are not experiencing Atlanta’s culture, music, what’s the point? We want you to know you’re in Atlanta.”

McGowan said the Lofts at Centennial Yards — the historic headquarters of Southern Railway — is 92 percent occupied. Plans are to build another 4,000 apartments with 20 percent at 80 percent of area median income for 99 years. The development is busy signing up retail tenants and is courting prospective office tenants. It has been declared a “digital signage district,” which will give it a festive feel.

Southern Gulch: Inching closer to linking up.

Julien · #**596** Posted **Oct 22, 2022, 5:25 PM**

Bridge is near complete. Tried to find a way to go over it but they have it fenced up good.

I just need some LOVE.

I remind everyone, this is one of the most complicated sites in Atlanta due to utilities, easements, agencies, etc. I'm shocked they are moving as fast as they are. Just look how long Juniper Street has taken with just the City of Atlanta and GDOT...now throw in the Feds, a rail company, and national fiber lines that traverse the site...
