I would venture to make two guesses - the developer will still be John Wieland (the individual) and there will still be a public art gallery component. John Wieland sold his company just a little over a year ago to the private equity group and had remained with the company bearing his name for the last year in an advisory role. He has since left the company to form a new homebuilding and development venture, Chattahoochee Enterprises. Wouldn't it make perfect sense for the first development by his new firm to be on the high profile site he owns across the street from the High Museum? If he still owns his massive personal art collection and he still owns the site where he planned the art gallery, wouldn't you think he would still plan to build the art gallery?

Thanks.
I didn't notice that Weiland was listed as one of the applicants on the DRC agenda. With Wieland still doing the development, I'm sure he has something architecturally appropriate in mind for the location. If it still includes the art gallery that would be a HUGE plus.
