Hub Cypress updates from Urbanize. This is the proposed apartment tower behind the Academy of Medicine in Midtown.
The tower had previously called for 295 apartments geared toward students, or 1,211 beds, with no commercial space.
According to Core’s application this week, the Hub Cypress building will see 265 student apartments—and a 1,600-square-foot coffeeshop space that fronts 7th Street sidewalks. All vehicles would access the building from an entry on Cypress Street.
Applicants note that a MARTA tunnel directly beneath the property will prohibit below-grade development.
Revised designs calls for 161 parking spaces in three levels, starting above the first level. Roughly 75 of those spaces will be reserved for Georgia Tech events at the Academy of Medicine next door, per the latest filings.
In light of the building’s student uses, a lower volume of vehicle traffic is anticipated, as most residents are expected to either walk or take public transit as primary means of transportation, per the development team.
