ATLANTA | Development Thread V

[MNT]

Doubting the prospects of the MMPT is a pretty easy bet. Given Atlanta's history it's the easiest possible prediction I can imagine in Atlanta development news. It requires faith that the residents of Atlanta in 2020 are going to be satisfied with the same transportation options they had in 1980. I'm not so sure it's a smart bet, though. The current level of intown urban development appears to be unprecedented, or I don't imagine there would have been the breathless news stories about the changing face of Atlanta development last fall.

Well I found this old picture and added 98 14st and 1125 peachtree. So my assumption of 1125 peachtree, I just put a random design just to how the height was going to look like the developments that's on this picture is:
12 MIDTOWN
1138 PEACHTREE
98 14ST
1125 PEACHTREE I KNOW ITS UGLY BUT O''well,but I just wanted here what you guys think of this?

FYI- this project will be north of the 12th and midtown office tower not south...

What's been left unsaid is the significance of the MMPT is that it's part of the Dashboard Initiative, which is a selection of key projects that were choses to be expedited through the review/planning process with the follow-through being the current proposed 2014 reauthorization of the Surface Transportation Act.

These two things are linked....It's why, despite what many think, it made perfect sense to give much of the federal funding for HSR to California rather than the NE, as that project was light-years ahead in terms of planning.

This seems to be their strategy: get a slew of projects in line, and try to funnel funding to them. The key here is whether or not it can make it through Congress.

I checked it out. Very good stuff. I really enjoyed it.

Does anyone know if there is an approximate date as to when the 98 14th Street Project will start - 2015? Also, how far along is the project as far as pulling permits, etc. I might be getting a little ahead of myself - has the project been approved? Thank you to anyone ahead of time for additional information...

Walked by Krog St Market today and noticed it has really been coming along... practically finished. Windows / doors are all in, drywall's up, just seems like all it needs is finishings and fixtures.

Apparently they're purchasing the land in April. I assume the first tower will be completed around 2017 or 2018, just a guess. They want all three done by 2020.

First, it says May, which is not this month.

Second, I posted this 2 pages back... They still have quite a bit to do.

Thanks and i've been watching the webcam for quite a long time.

Also I made a mistake "correction" the building completion and I did not know, they was going to phases? Do anyone have the next phase renderings?

[RocketSurgeon]

The future additions will wrap around the current one. The full rendering is here:

Atlantic Realty's Apartment Tower:



This and Skyhouse Buckhead (crane on the left) are really going to glass up the view from the Lenox's parking lot.



Also Lenox's new facade looks great in my opinion.
