Trammell Crow affiliate aims to redevelop languishing Midtown site

An affiliate of Dallas-based Trammell Crow Co., a subsidiary of CBRE Group Inc., has an agreement to buy the 4-acre site at 98 14th Street, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the deal. The property, known for the failed “Opus Place” development, was foreclosed upon last year.

High Street Residential, a division of Trammell Crow, may pursue a multifamily project, one of the sources said.

According to the article, it appears it will be several smaller buildings instead of one big one.

Reputable company... but judging by their portfolio it's not likely we will get anything of significant height (IMO). I would loved to be surprised.

That's what I thought until I dug through Trammell Crow's portfolio. They've built some tall projects in Texas that I wouldn't mind seeing in Atlanta. You can look up these examples:
Parkside Residences (Houston) - 43 floors
Northshore Tower (Austin) - 38 floors
Austin Proper Hotel & Residences (Austin) - 32 floors
Indeed Tower (Austin) - 36 floors
601 West 2nd Street (Austin) - 35 floors

The last one (601 W. 2nd St) houses Google's offices and its sail shape looks like a shorter version of Dubai's Burj Al Arab. A similar design might be too much for us to hope for in this case, but Trammel Crow has done some great things.

The tallest one Parkside Residences, is unhinged at street level. That wouldn't be allowed here due to city ordinances and Midtown Alliance, but wild that Houston let a big new residential building in the heart of the city fail to address the street like that, especially right along the light rail line. It's giving 1970s downtown Atlanta.
