yeah, retail would be optimal. But imo it's still a beautiful, interesting building. I'll take it.

^ditto, SwimAtl. It's a great design, and another surface parking lot bites the dust.

Former Aaron’s Inc. CEO and now full-time real estate developer Robin Loudermilk is planning a new condo building on the Midtown Mile — the first in almost seven years.

Loudermilk is partnering on the eight-story building at 867 Peachtree St. with fellow developer Dwight Bell.

The site currently houses a popular intown Starbucks that will be temporarily relocated nearby. It will eventually form the street-level retail component of the new condo building.

The $20 million mixed-use project was originally going to offer new apartments, but recent condo sales and price appreciation trends in Midtown led Loudermilk and Bell to change their plans.

The project will be called "Seventh" and will feature 21 condo units ranging from 1,700 square feet to 2,100 square feet.

^That's awesome news, and hopefully a good sign for the health of the midtown condo market.

Also this appears to attached directly to the Viewpoint structure, as opposed to the proposed apartments that had a small drive inbetween them.

It's hard to tell from this angle, but originally it was just a walkway and there was a direct attachement to the deck on the 2nd or 3rd floor for getting to your car.

Also, here's a better picture:

The walkway seems entirely unnecessary but I love this project even if its still there. I really like the scale of the condo building and the improvement to the Peachtree streetscape that this will generate.

That's getting to be a pretty dense residential 'hood.

I think the 5th / 6th Street Corridor anchored by Tech Square and Centergy on one end and this mega-block with Viewpoint, 100 6th Street and Loudermilk's future condos on the other forms one of the two major mixed use centers in Midtown. The other being the 12th - 14th St. area. Now all both areas really need are grocery stores. It's time people in Midtown stop having to choose between a tiny Publix or driving to Ansley Mall / Ponce City Market.

You don't consider that Publix "real?" I'm sorry to inform you but 30,000 sf is probably as big as you'll see in Midtown proper. The bigger stores only work when the rent is lower per square foot or the sales much higher - neither of which are financially feasible today.

You might see a small gourmet market open, but larger stores like at Ansley Mall are simply not going to happen.

Tiny? I think that Publix is a good size for an urban grocery but I do agree that more options are needed in the Midtown core.

What I would love to see is the blocks north and south of Viewpoint finally get developed so that there is enough contiguous retail space to begin to attract something other than restaurants.

That's just crazy talk! Don't you know that density doesn't exist in Atlanta?

Yeah, you're probably right. I guess I'm just frustrated by the shortage of options.

Post Properties Inc. is launching the development of a 19-story apartment tower overlooking Georgia 400 — the latest in a wave of residential projects slated for Buckhead.

Atlanta-based Post would break ground on the nearly $76 million project later this year. It will become the second phase of its Post Alexander development.

This is awesome. Will be an excellent addition to that stretch. Now if we can just do something with that corner parking lot on the northeast side of the intersection...

Also, here's a better picture:

[W-Midtown Phoenix]

The Station 16 corner at Mescalin and 16th is being cleared. Construction crews have been blocking 16th St daily as they clear things out. I stay next door so when there's more than dirt to take pictures of I'll post some.

If the building is tall enough, the eastern facing apartments will have an amazing secured view of Midtown over the townhomes. I'm excited to find out so I can snap one of the units up.

Stay tuned...

Awesome! Does anyone know if this is going to include retail? I think a coffee shop or cafe would do great in this location.

No retail in this project.
