They're ripping up all the grass for the Civil Rights museum right now. Looks like this has officially, officially started.

206 Edgewood Ave Medical Office Building. $55 million for new 43,00 sqft medical office building with parking and ground-floor retail.

This is the empty lot on Edgewood across from Sweet Auburn Market. They talked about it on the Streetcar walking tour and mention it again here.

Not gonna lie. Too lazy to scroll down all those pages. Is there a rendering and how many floors? What page or how far down do they mention it?

Yes, I remember it quite well; interiors can be renovated. And I thought it was not an awful example of post-modernism on the exterior. But now we get a grey and white box. Yippee.

And now that I look at it more closely on the webcam, it looks quite like a close cousin to the senior citizen high-rise in the background. Maybe they were trying to be matchy-matchy.

It looks much better in person.

Chris, can you let me know where they told you it'd be on the walking tour? 206 Edgewood Northeast looks like they'd be renovating an existing building at the corner of Edgewood and Jesse Hill (well, the building next to the one on that corner), but there is a huge vacant lot next door so maybe they told you their plans on the walking tour? Then there's 206 Edgewood SE that is at the corner of Edgewood and Piedmont and is a vacant lot. Obviously either one of these could be the site, I'm just trying to nail down the location for the map. Any info would be great.

It's a real project that occupies the vacant lot and one of the two adjacent historic buildings (not the one right at the corner).

Yeah, not sure why the address shows that small building, but the location is the big empty lot directly to the left of it. It is not the one at the corner of Piedmont. We stopped in front of it for a while on the Streetcar tour and they talked about the Medical Office building going in there. They did not give much detail then, just that it would have retail along the street and be several stories.

It's on page 12 under planned projects. There is no rendering, but on the walking tour they just said it would be several stories.

Anyone know where on Howell Mill this 256 unit apartment complex is proposed by Crescent Resources? It was mentioned in an article about their ground-breaking for their Terminus apartments and I had never heard anything about it before.

I don't know where exactly, but it will be in Collier Hills.

testarossa50 · #**6712** Posted **Mar 13, 2013, 6:54 PM**

Not sure if this has been pointed out on here yet, but there are two major apartment complexes under development in Perimeter on Hammond Dr, about a quarter mile from Perimeter Station.

341 units

350 units
http://www.nwrliving.com/apartments/coming-soon/

Not really "good urbanism" by intown standards, but for Perimeter it's not bad. Especially adding ~1,000 residents so close to a MARTA station.

New 252 unit apartment tower by Tivoli on property it owns on 13th street close to Piedmont Park.

The company that helped spur Atlanta’s street food movement wants to introduce a new dining option to the city — shipping container restaurants.
Yumbii, which launched the city’s first food truck, plans to open its first restaurant housed in a recycled shipping container. The goal is to debut the concept in Midtown, but Yumbii sees it as a natural fit for small or odd-shaped parcels, especially along the Atlanta BeltLine.

It's a hip trend already popular in cities such as Manhattan, San Francisco and London. Shipping containers offer a small footprint, eco-friendly alternative to traditional restaurants. And, it could enhance Atlanta's appeal as a foodie destination.

“We’ve been very intrigued with container restaurants,” said Carson Young, owner of Yumbii, which specializes in Korean-inspired tacos and burritos. “We think that’s where the world is going.”

The first is planned at 10th and Peachtree streets in the heart of Midtown. (The proposal was set to go before Midtown's Development Review Committee Tuesday evening.)

The 8-foot by 40-foot restaurant would sit on property owned by Dewberry Capital Corp., which recently was transformed into a pocket park in partnership with the Midtown Alliance. Yumbii hopes to get it open “right away” to take advantage of the warm weather ahead.

“Yumbii has a big following there,” Young said, as its food trucks frequent the street food events held each Thursday in Midtown. “That’s a corner which needs some life breathed into it.”

The restaurant would serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, Young said. Expect an expanded menu to what Yumbii now serves from its trucks.

“I think people will go crazy,” Young said. “Like the trucks, you can make the containers wildly fun.”

Yumbii sees the concept as a “natural fit” for the Atlanta BeltLine, since the restaurants can be placed on small slivers of land not suitable for bricks-and-mortar eateries or not accessible by food trucks.

“We are testing uncharted territories,” said Jordan Williams with plexus r+d, the studio leading the design of the Midtown restaurant. “We love clients like Yumbii that are pushing the limits. It’s very exciting.”

That's kinda ugly looking and I don't think its a good idea, it's fine along Beltline but not in the middle of midtown.
Hopefully they gonna build something on this spot in near future.

If only. We've been waiting forever for Dewberry to finally get around to building his "Midtown Square", but who knows when it actually comes to fruition.

^^^While there isn't currently a feasibility for Dewberry to build his dream billion dollar development, I think that's an excellent activator. It will be cheap, fast, the tables and chairs look like they are mobile, bright colors, catchy name, just what the area needs as opposed to one more fancy overpriced cheffy restaurant or another club/bar for the bridge and tunnel crowd. And it's not a chain (it's a local food truck!). It's obviously temporary and a good temporary fix/use to a non-contributing lot.

The corner of 10th and Howell Mill is the only lot I can think of that wouldn't require the demo of an existing building. But that's just a guess... I couldn't find any concrete info either.

It's going to be right near the Optimist, so you're correct.

Now why can't they just cover the entire outside with the brick they have on the corner. I think it would look soooo much nicer that way. Yes? No?
