Hell yes! I’ve been waiting for this to be redeveloped. Great location. Perhaps this will be condos?

Would love to see the Pizza Hut, BK, & DQ on North Ave be redeveloped, too. Put them back in as ground floor retail, they take up so much space as is.

I missed the meeting on this, but it is the same developer who is building the pocket condo tower next to O4W Park near Venkman's. I really wanted to attend the O4W meeting the other week where Satish discussed this development. Did anyone happen to go or know more details on the plan?

And then get started on the corresponding stretch of fast food restaurants on Ponce...

That pocket condo, is it moving forward? I thought it was a bit pie in the sky and figured it would fall on its face. Would love to see a handful 2+beds offered at this credit union site rather than 1 beds. Give people the chance to have a family in the area and outside the $800k townhomes and SFH

My understanding is that it is going to move forward. I believe they released promotional materials recently. That being said, there has been no movement on the ground yet.

I'm also astounded that they still need rezoning. How is this parcel on North Ave, one block from the Beltline, still zoned C-1-C? I know there's a Beltline overlay, but it just defies logic and explanation that the city still has not fixed the zoning along the Beltline. As currently zoned, a developer could build a car wash, a used car lot, a single family house, or even a commercial laundry collection station. C-1-C zoning doesn't even require a sidewalk.

Atlanta is a poorly planned city. This has been well known now for decades....add on incompetence on a city governing level and you get this. Atlanta's multi-family market is being gated by zoning.

Tim Keane has been working on the city-wide zoning since he's gotten here and we haven't heard of any progress on that.

The city has adopted the first two phases of the zoning update. The changes referenced in the article below were adopted in the "Medium Fix" (phase 2) updates. The city has also issued an RFP for the complete zoning rewrite but I am not sure where they are in that process.

The land development permit was issued yesterday (3/02/20). This is definitely about to break ground.

They actually took down the electionic billboard. I used that as the measuring stick of when they were gonna get serious about starting 903 Peachtree. Finally. Can't wait.

Also had some friends recently vacate from the old apartment building behind the old Bezoria to make way for this project.

Are they just tearing down the building on 8th directly next to the restaurants? Or are they also taking down the corner building as well? Would be a shame to lose it.
