280 Elizabeth:

Site grading is currently underway on this 5-floor apartment complex. Located in the heart of Inman Park, this 200-unit development, which in addition to apartments will offer about 39,000 square feet of retail space will also feature a public "water wall" and stripe of green space that connects Elizabeth Street with an existing pond that brims with koi fish.
Decatur Street Self-Storage Facility:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSAczKpuaRI
Located at the intersection of Decatur Street and Boulevard, a state-of-the-art, 110,000-square foot facility storage facility is currently under construction. Planned is a
five-story, climate-controlled storage building that houses 854 units along with two oversized elevators, a covered loading/unloading area, drive-up exterior units and a conference facility for its renters. A retail storefront will also front Decatur Street and should adhere to the Beltline design principles.
Maynard H. Jackson High School:

The school's campus in Grant Park is undergoing $45 million renovation to its physical plant, scheduled to be complete by the end of this year. (Jackson students have temporarily been relocated to the Coan Middle School Campus in Kirkwood.) I spoke with a very friendly construction worker who informed me of the following facts: since there are 3+ feet of soil on the roof (complete with walking track which extends into the hill behind the building), a LOT of concrete was used to support this weight the building when it was built in 1982. This made demolition more costly than renovation.
300 Glenwood:

Across the street from Jackson High sits the fenced off lot dubbed "300 Glenwood" to be developed by Fuqua. It's really a massive lot that should be developed wisely. The Beltline runs to the west, new apartments are already up on the east, and to the south, Jackson High will look brilliant once complete. It's very important this lot be developed with the whole neighborhood in mind, not just dumping more big box strip malls.
755 North Apartments:

Crews are finally moving on this 5-floor apartment complex. The parking structure is already taking shape. Views from up here will be beautiful.
Ponce City Market:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5pxJ4TAtmw
Our diamond in the rough's clean-up is moving nicely! Crews have begun removing the green stains from the tower and most of the facade is intact once again. The windows have almost been completely replaced while the trees fronting Glen Iris are gone. The western parking lot has taken shape and the sidewalk along North Ave is being replaced.
Krog Street Market:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11ruc0zgepI
The northern lot has been cleared and is currently being leveled. Windows have been cut out of the brick facade on several sides in effect "opening up" the space. Meanwhile inside crews are putting up the framing of the individual stores/booths.
AMLI Ponce Park:

Work has begun on the ground floor of the apartment building. I hope they have thick walls because the Mascarade is loud, even during the day. The bass and low tones travels far, I could still hear them from the playground 0.3 miles to the south.
BOHO 4W:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ef7-8_nOhc
Both buildings have topped out at 5 floors. Now crews are working on the brick and stone facades. The balconies on this project look large and will have great views all around. Hopefully they won't house the AC units out there (like at every "SkyHouse" in the world).
Midtown:
Perennial Properties Mixed-Used:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_8R0WF5SWg
West Midtown is buzzing.
Perennial Properties wants to rezone 2.965 acres of property bounded by 9th Street, 8th Street, Brady Avenue and Howell Mill Road near where The Optimist restaurant currently sits and hopefully deliver a mixed-use development including 230 apartments and 9,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space wrapped around a multilevel parking deck by fall of 2014.
1071 Howell Mill:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdJKKv2tNfY
The property is a
development site located across the street from White Provision at the intersection of Howell Mill Rd and Brady Ave. Currently improved with a 34,000 square foot warehouse building the property can either be renovated to provide approximately 12,000 rentable square feet of space or redeveloped for a 75,000 class A office building. I think developers are leaning towards to building the 3-5 floor office building seen in the render.
Odyssey Sportsplex:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25eBE-eiPgQ
I know this was
proposed a while ago and might be dead but I've always wanted to see where it would be built if it was. Interesting location if I may say however major connectivity improvements will be needed to breach the RR tracks to connect this site with Atlantic Station.
ChristChurch Presbyterian:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xgZtr7Q26c
Atlanta’s ChristChurch Presbyterian has broken ground on a
dramatic new sanctuary at 1740 Peachtree St. Unlike a traditional Southern or Gothic worship facility, the new church will feature an exciting modern design that will incorporate much of the site’s existing building and complement its urban setting.

Buckhead:
The Haynes House:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3deaEVtfMmU
A 186-unit
luxury apartment community at Peachtree Rd and Peachtree Battle Ave in Buckhead. The project is composed of five residential levels over three parking levels accommodating 268 cars. The community will contain a leasing office and feature a club room, fitness center and two courtyard terraces as well as a pool, cabanas and gardens. A historic house on the property will be converted to a pool house (although it's not currently on site).
Downtown:
Capital Parking Deck:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQyDYY0QtK8
Crews are finishing up the final touches on this brand new deck down the street from the Capital. Notice the rooftop accent, a nice touch that looks great with the facade. Too bad state legislators built themselves this fancy deck while local legislators let Novare
build these. However
this deck is still my personal favorite.
Auburn Pointe:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOHSgQJ0qHQ
Work continues on the next phase of 4-floor apartment rentals. The master plan for this multi-phase, multi-income community includes 300 multi-family rental units, 48 affordable and market priced for-sale homes, 324 independent and assisted-living senior residences.
Homewood Suites:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7YftRmb7oE
Atlanta-based Legacy Property Group LLC is planning to build a
129-key Homewood Suites by Hilton. The all-suites hotel would sit along Marietta Street near Centennial Olympic Park in the Luckie-Marietta District.
301 Memorial Drive:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpSWhVj351s
Developers are hoping to bring a
five-story project — comprised of apartments, retail, a restaurant and office space — to the lot at 301 Memorial Drive, located between Harden St and Hill St. 94 apartments (studios, 1, and 2 bedrooms), as well as 3,500 square feet of retail, 2,500 square feet for a restaurant and a small amount of office space.
Corey Tower:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DWUp0Pyeok
It looks like some sort of mountings for the 80x40 ft billboard has been installed. I'm dying to see what
Corey has in store for this smokestack. It's not as iconic as the owners thinks. Even with"Corey" branded across the side, I doubt the average Atlantian driving the connector even noticed this white tower. Lets see what the proposed billboard will do. Hopefully not create too many more distracted driver, we have enough!
