Thought I'd throw in the rendering for context:

Man that was fast. I didn't realize 3630 was this far along.

Thanks for the update. So has the height been reduced for 469 feet to 438?

There's not a lot of hype for these buildings, which I think is strange. Based on the renderings, the main building is going to be very tall and buckhead is going to look very different (and more expansive) when this is done. Kind of an "outside" location, I guess, but still within the buckhead business district. Should frame the buckhead skyline and will probably act as an outer edge. Even more emphasis on the Peachtree/Lenox intersection.

I've never really been a fan of the "tower in a park" idea (a-la Plan Voison), so these buildings, however nice they might appear from a distance, just aren't doing it for me.

Is it really an office park forever or is it just because it is on the edge of nothing at this time? The rendering makes it's surroundings look a lot more park-like than the actual photo by Joe.

That sort of thing can change pretty quickly. When One Atlantic Center was built on 14th Street twenty years ago, people were amazed that anyone would put a tower like that "way out there" by itself.

OAC was and still is (to an extent) a "tower in the park." it even has it's own! i'm thinking that 3630 is close enough to the main buckhead skyline that it will be part of its overall impact, not a separate entity like some of the buildings further down peachtree

Thanks for starting a thread for this one and for the updates by those involved!

From the UC pic it appears both towers are UC? That's new.

[Trae]

I think that is just a parking garage.

Looking good...

Sabino, looks like we hit all the same places this weekend.

[oldpainless]

IMO, anything near or over 400' height has real presence.

Thought I'd go ahead and post the webcam link in this thread also

Cool! That picture almost looks like a rendering.

Yeah, I also initially thought it was a rendering. Great update.
