ATLANTA | Development Thread V

[Zanarkand A East]

I drive by the CCHR site pretty often, and it looks about the same as the CFHOF site. Glad to finally see dirt moving there. Now we just need the National Health Museum and Times Square South to start, and that area will look amazing. Hell, break ground on Aquarius too!

I shot these two photos from the Sundial.

Civil Rights Museum - best I could get of this one with Museum Tower partially blocking the view.

Great shots, thanks for the update.

One in-the-works development along the Beltline, slowed in recent months by rain, has a new name, but it won't have any retail space. The project formerly known as The Somerset — a four-story, 227-unit development right at North Avenue and Somerset Terrace, up the hill from The Masquerade — is now known as 755 North.Perennial Properties development manager Jay McGinnity told Curbed Atlanta. The original banner was a working title all along, McGinnity said, and the marketing department thought 755 North "gave better location recognition." McGinnity also clarified that the development won't have any retail or restaurant space; they want to "complement," rather than "compete" with nearby (and also under-construction) Ponce City Market.

Complement rather than compete? I think retail would have been the better option here. That would complement that area so well.

Maybe Masquerade will have to start adhering to noise ordinances or properly sound-proof their building.

The developer behind Midtown Atlanta’s Atlantic Station project is planning an audacious mixed-use community in Gwinnett County that would include the Southeast’s largest movie studio.

I live next to a club in Buckhead, on the weekend I can feel the bass pulsating through the ground. It's very difficult to sleep on Friday and Saturday nights. But you come to see it as part of living in the city, so you get use to it. Especially if you lived in the suburbs prior to an intown location you might like it. A lil noise to remind you that you're living in the city isn't so bad. So long as it's not during the week when one has to go to work.

I don't know. You hear this a lot when noise in the city comes up, and up to a point I agree. Traffic noise, people talking as they pass your window, fire trucks, police sirens, garbage trucks, etc. seem a reasonable part of city noise, but we have ordinances to prevent people from imposing their artificially produced noise (aka music) on their neighbors. Why should you suffer so that a private club can profit while they break the law?

Unless MARTA can extend to this site (there was talk of this during the casino ideas), then it is pointless. Just more congestion and nobody south of this site will bother going. Especially tourists.

These massive developments in the burbs irritate me. There is only one way to get there and it is by car. And this attracts more cars on the road. Hell, even if you wanted to ride your bike to this you would probably die.

At least if it was just a movie complex it would not cause so much traffic as some giant mixed use, sea of parking lots, crap hole.

There's an article in the Atlanta Business Chronicle about a new apartment project for Colonial Homes in south Buckhead:

Does anyone know if the renovation of the Hyatt Midtown on 10th Street will include retail along 10th St, or maybe even in the front? I've read everywhere that it will be more 'pedestrian-friendly' but not sure if that includes retail. I think retail there would be a great addition to 10th St./Peachtree St. and continue to close the awkward gap between 12th & Midtown and Metropolis.

Almost positive the hotel's restaurant will open onto 10th Street from under the Hyatt.

Does anyone have a site plan for this development? The article says 'renovate' the units but there is some construction going on. The rendering in the article is hideous; hopefully that is not the real thing.

You sound ridiculous. The Studio Movie and Grill in Alpharetta makes more money than any of the other dine in Theaters...including the one in Buckhead. I wish some of you stop being so shallow to living in the city.

Um, that place is terrible. I stopped going there and I live not that far away. Maybe it's just me, but it's annoying as heck to have the servers walk in front of the screen a dozen times during the movie.

It seems that some of the self styled 'urban pioneers' take great joy in bashing the hell that they perceive the Atlanta suburbs to be. My guess is that once they escape moms basement in Wetumpka or the trailer in Ocala and get a taste of city life, they cultivate some sort of superiority complex. Often, not realizing that as fluid as Atlanta's population and employment shifts are, they will probably be making the trek to Dacula or Rockmart at some point in the very near future.

I've lived in the outer suburbs, the inner suburbs and all over Buckhead, Midtown and East Atlanta. They all have their charms and their challenges. But one thing makes them eerily the same; there will always be stooges in every neighborhood that make fun of where someone else chooses to live, not realizing that having that choice is part of what makes Atlanta livable for everyone.

Does anyone know what is going on the other lot?

I know I have said it before, but this is literally flying off the ground like a rocket.

The same happens at Fork and Screen. It's somewhat rare at Cinebistro, but that doesn't negate the fact of populararity of Studio Movie and Grill.

I totally agree.
