Either way, 9 acres for 300 apartments is ludicrous. We are burning land because it’s cheap and in a few years everyone will realize so much space was squandered. Multi story buildings it is normal to be 50-100+ units an acre. We are exasperating our housing supply and walkability problems.

After re-reading the article, it doesn't specifically say that the apartments will consume the entire site.  Let's hope that's not the case.   But the fact remains that the proposed/under construction projects are underutilizing the limited available land. 

The developer, which already has two projects in the works along the trail, has submitted a rezoning application in Atlanta for 1155 Hill Street. The nearly 9-acre site is across the Southside Trail from D.H. Stanton Park and next to the Hill Street Lofts.

The project could include four buildings with 280 total apartments.

Real estate investment and development company Drapac Capital Partners filed details of its plans with the city of Atlanta, as part of a request to rezone the 2.2-acre-property at 981 Howell Mill Road.

It needs the city to approve a rezoning of the Humane Society campus for a mixed-use development. The project could include 400 to 500 apartment units and up to 210,000 square feet of office space, according to a preliminary estimate.

The project could be completed by 2023.

Wow, so potentially duplicating star metals office and residential on that singular site. Could be a fairly sizable couple buildings.

Gotta love how that part of West Midtown is doing things mostly right with urbanism.

Yes and one of the more interesting locations to visit, too. Will only get better as Northside, west of the tracks, and Brady Ave develop. Tons of parking, although a really good mix of apartments, condos, office, and retail. I wish we had more neighborhoods with comparative density.

It’s definitely a top node that I wish Atlanta had a magic genie to create a HRT extension/station.

Someone in the main thread pointed out that Hanover evidently filed a planning permit for a new project(over 250k sq feet) across the street from the nearly finished Hampton Inn and Suites on West Peachtree.

Application Description:
This application proposes the redevelopment of a 1.16-acre property on the west side of West Peachtree Street

I'm guessing we'll be seeing this project presented at the DRC this or next month.

Good!

Everytime I walk by this building, I wish that it would be redeveloped.

When are they extending 15th? I figured they would have done it already.

Pending approvals and permitting by authorities, construction of the extension is forecasted to begin in 2021.

Great news!

I remember photos of One Atlantic Center looking lonely in the skyline. Now Its getting to be nearly completely surrounded by buildings.

Developer S.J. Collins Enterprises this week submitted plans in Atlanta to expand The Interlock, a mixed-use project now rising at Howell Mill Road and 14th Street.

S.J. Collins has under contract about 4.5 acres, bounded by Northside Drive, 11th Street and Ethel Street. The property contains a few aging commercial buildings.

The expansion will grow S.J. Collins' total investment in The Interlock to roughly $750 million. It will include 160,000 square feet of office space, a 40,000-square-foot grocery store, 280 student housing units, a 190-key hotel and 20,000 additional square feet of retail space.

“We have turned away a number of large users for the office and retail,” Garrison said, explaining the catalyst for the expansion. West Midtown, he added, could benefit from a grocery store near its walkable core. And the student housing can help Georgia Tech continue to expand.

Dynamik Design is the architect for the expansion. Construction could start in 2021, with space expected to be delivered in second-quarter 2023.

A Florida developer entering the Atlanta market is counting on pent-up demand in the city for high-rise luxury condominiums in Atlanta as it prepares to break ground in the first quarter 2020 on 22-story The Graydon Buckhead.

Kolter Urban's project is to be located at 2520 Peachtree Road, which is a 1.8-acre site north of Lindbergh Drive where Atlanta developer JPX Works LLC once planned to build the Emerson, a 21-story, 41-unit condominium tower with prices starting at $2.2 million up to a more than $6 million penthouse.

The Graydon’s 47 two- and three-bedroom units will start at $1.6 million and go up to $8.5 million for the sole penthouse, Ed Jahn, senior vice president, Kolter Urban, told Atlanta Business Chronicle. The company, which is working with Ansley Atlanta Real Estate’s Developer Services division, expects to begin taking reservations for units in the next seven to 10 days, he said.

Love that Interlock ph. 2 should activate Northside and provide a grocery. There should be opportunities for street extensions with the existing phase.

Also, lol at those condo prices considering the location in buckhead. I doubt that’ll pan out.

Anyone else tired of the student housing? How is that market not oversaturated yet? I fear a huge bust or overcorrection is coming soon. Soon, we're gonna have entire boulevards lined with student housing...I follow development updates of many cities and it really does feel like Atlanta is the only city building this much private student housing. Let's just pray that these can convert to workforce housing pretty easy when the student loan bubble bursts.

Student housing isn't restricted to only students, anybody who wants to live in that kind of environment is legally allowed to live at those places

Sure, but most post-college adults aren't going to want to live with students and pay upwards of 1200 a month for a single bedroom and shared living space with other 3 other people.

I'd rather the Interlock development just be normal residential housing. There's already going to be another student housing development across the street. It's an even more transient population than normal apartment dwellers.

[Ant131531]

Oh and look, even more student housing is coming. Also, HUGE DRC meeting this month!

Hell yeah, bring on 1138 Peachtree and wow at the 1230 WP being a 40 story! Hopeful they updated the rendering again. I wasn’t a huge fan of the yellow last time.
