Yep, between the EST and downtown is going to continue to grow as one of the most interesting places in the southeastern U.S.. I absolutely agree we will see more residential and offices go in that will supplement the fantastic buildings and establishments that already exist.

This is why I push for higher density around king memorial station and better land use in general. We don’t need more surface parking a block away from that station with the new senior living and medical expansion proposal.

This project has just broken ground.

It is now a 187-unit student housing project. Permits were filed a few weeks ago at 1040 Hampton Street and the site includes twenty parcels between Waffle House and the gas station on the corner of 10th Street.

Development in this area is great, but more needs to be done to treat the endemic crime over around edgewood. Seems like every other month someone is shot in that area. I personally know people who have been robbed at gunpoint outside of the bars there in broad daylight. Hopefully this dissipates with the increased development, but if it doesn't then it may stifle development moving forward.

Needs more eyes/activity on the street throughout the day. Increased residential and foottraffic will help during the day at least.

Re: catalyst site plan, I hate that they don’t own the portion of land to extend Ethel Street. That would be such a win for the area.

If these projects go up, i think id find them more interesting to follow than some of the high rises going up. These are all great infill across several neighborhoods. Each will add to the walkability if Atlanta and help tilt their respective neighborhoods towards more urban.

The Midtown Development Review Committee saw a follow-up application for Toll Brothers' 17-story residential project at 250 14th Street. The home builder returned with proposed changes made to the ground level of the project based on DRC recommendations.

Love that parking garage.

Project Updates
The design team, Brock Hudgins Architects, incorporated previous feedback from the committee and returned with a sophisticated modernist building that merges the energy of Midtown’s commercial core with the distinct character of the residential neighborhood. The updated design features a covered ground floor area with casual seating and outdoor fireplace. This semi-private space facilitates an admirable transition between the public sidewalk and the private residential lobby and provides a unique and flexible indoor/outdoor amenity space.

DRC Recommendations
The committee was supportive of the design changes and focused their comments on two main issues:

The need to prevent through traffic in the narrow alley at the rear of the building
The quality and fabrication of required screening for the rear utilities and parking deck lighting. The DRC recommended the lighting to be recessed ‘can’ lights or up-lighting to provide safety and create an ambient glow least impactful to adjacent residential neighbors.

Nice!

Not what I was expecting but not bad. I was confused at first but I assume the street in the rendering is the new street that they will build.

Atlriser · #**4195** Posted **Oct 10, 2019, 7:07 PM**

The street shown in supposed to be Centennial Park Drive I believe.

Martinman · #**4196** Posted **Oct 10, 2019, 8:25 PM**

This is the site. The rendering appears to be looking south from North Avenue with Centennial Olympic Park drive on the left. There was a site plan posted on here somewhere and I do remember that the tallest building will be the farthest from Centennial Olympic Park Drive.
