It would be hard to have a better site to convince people that an idea like this can actually work. I would have no problems with these scattered throughout the Beltline. It has a similar access to transit and downtown with the bonus of great pedestrian-focused services.
Rather than the Beltline, I'd love to see developments like this all around the downtown core. The Beltline would be great for it too though, of course

Both Brentwood and Westbrook definitely jump out as suburban locations that this could work.
