Quick Update from the meeting yesterday, sorry no pics.
Quote:
NEW APPLICATION: 8th Street and Williams (Mill Creek)
Project Type: New construction of a 29-story apartment tower with +/- 350 units and 12,300 SF of retail
at the corner of 8th Street and Williams Street.
|
The size of this one was quite impressive. As mentioned, they had the large retail spot on the corner of 8th and Williams, live/work units along Williams and at the corner of Peachtree Place. 2 24' deck entrances at the eastern edge of the site against the student housing tower on both Peachtree Place and 8th. The loading was a 60' curb cut directly adjacent to the 24' Peachtree Place deck entrance, which the DRC did not like. DRC suggestions were to bring the retail closer to Spring, both on Peachtree Place and 8th, and move the curb cuts closer to Williams, bringing pedestrian activity closer to Spring, and auto closer to Williams.
The deck was wrapped 3 sides with apartments up 7 floors, with a massive roof deck on top. L shaped apartment building with one end of the L stopping with a roof deck at floor 26 and anther roof deck on the other end at 29. Overall really large project, still needs work, but given the nature of that site I'm not complaining.

NEW APPLICATION: 6th Street and Juniper (Alliance Residential Company)
Project Type: New construction of an 8-story apartment building with approx. 218 units on the SE corner of Juniper at 6th Street.

This building is bounded by 6th and Juniper on the east side of Juniper. It takes up the entire Western half of that block, except for that house/restaurant space at 5th and Juniper. They hadn't really gotten past massing and plan development on this one, so no elevations yet, but they showed great concept images, and it's being designed by Lord Aeck & Sargent so I expect something nice. No retail, but walkup units along the street. One curb cut on Juniper, one on 6th, and the building steps down with the transitional height plane toward the neighborhood to the east. The DRC made some suggestions about alley access into the building and developing the elevation facing the alley. I'm excited to see how this one goes, even though it will have no retail.

NEW APPLICATION: 8th Street and West Peachtree (Trammel Crow)
Project Type: New construction of a 22-story mixed-use development containing approx. 10,000 SF of retail and +/- 356 residential units. Off-street parking (546 spaces) will be provided in a naturally-ventilated structure (Levels 1-7) which will be wrapped on the north and east sides by residential units.

This one is on the Southwest corner of 8th and West Peachtree. They are taking the existing office building down. The deck entrance acts like a street coming from West Peachtree lining up with 7th. Retail and lobby along West Peachtree with a large retail space at the corner. Loading on 8th, but it actually looks way better than a lot of the loading we've seen. This is being designed by Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio so it pretty much looks like 77 12th, except more brick and stone, and the deck is covered with apartments. The deck is exposed over the Cheetah, but the DRC commented on that and they seemed willing to somewhat address this. This will carry the retail from Plaza Midtown down closer to Tech square filling a bit of a missing link there. Overall very nice project, on par with 12th and Midtown.
22 14th was more of the same, and the lounge on Peachtree Place didn't interest me so I won't say anything about it.
EDIT: I know we've seen one or 2 of these, but I don't think all of them. 60 11th street:
