It's not really underground. You can already see that the existing slope of the site lends the deck to be partially underground but the residential portion along 10th street will be wrapping the parking deck.

Underground parking in Atlanta is not going to become a trend unless land prices become too cost prohibitive to keep putting them above ground (it costs a LOT of money to drill/blast through the shallow rock in this area).

God I hope so...But the more important question is, wonder what's on Dewberry's mind? I'm thinking that with a project like the one proposed for 14th street, now might be a good time to make a move, just a thought.

I would doubt it - Patterson is a very well established institution

Actually I hope that funeral home remains. There is a lot of history that has gone through that place and it's a beautiful building....However I would like to see that their parking lot fronting 10th St gets built out.

I walk past this building every day. I go back and forth on this, but tend to agree with you. I like that Atlanta still has the occasional historic home sprinkled throughout its cityscape. But I also agree that the parking lot and its giant wall really kill the streetscape.

Yeah, maybe a happy medium is to redevelop the parking lot with a larger deck that has spaces for the funeral home as well as for residential/office and build something on top of the deck. It also sucks mainly that until properties are redeveloped it is unlikely the sidewalks will be improved to the new zoning standards. The sidewalks in that area are narrow and busted up.

The outlook is brighter in the apartment industry. Keith Oden, president of Houston-based Camden Property Trust (NYSE: CPT), told analysts on Jan. 29 that he expects Atlanta to be the company's No. 1 market in 2015.
"Our #1 ranking for 2015 goes -- again, goes to Atlanta, which we rate an A+ with a stable outlook," Oden said. "Atlanta was our top market in 2014 with 8.4% same-property revenue growth. Supply remains below historical levels with about 8,000 to 10,000 new apartments expected to open in 2015, and 65,000 to 70,000 new jobs should be created. We expect Atlanta to be our top performer again in 2015."

It will have completely below ground parking:

Great to see this!!! Would love for that Dominos and Doctors(?) office to go away.

[ATLSkyPalaceOwner]

So is this roughly where the project extends, or does it go further north?

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

The demo permit stated there was demo of a 4 story office so it must go further up to the Broadcast tower property

Also groundbreaking was held Jan 23 for the CityLights senior living development in the Boulevard corridor.

Are the footprints really that much smaller?

For one thing, the student oriented buildings will have fewer 1 BR units and a much higher percentage of 3 and 4 BR units (there probably won't be any 4 BR's in 1010 W Peacthree). The 1010 W Peachtree site is about the same size as the 131 Ponce site (285 units) without the Pei building to work around.

Yikes. I guess they have a very specific audience in mind

Here's the site plan:

Designed specifically for white people.

[pica]

Not all white — I see one guy who might possibly be Asian.

[tdawg]

yes and he's holding a camera. Sheesh. And the waiter in the background looks vaguely Hispanic.

[Tuckerman]

Potential black in white cap carrying a bag; and the women with the dog is in two pictures.A very diverse and active community indeed.

[Tuckerman]

Sorry the bag appears to be on the arm of the blond woman in the foreground.

I have the same arch vis set and know it has a better mix represented this seems more intentional. I guess they want it to look high-end so the fastest way to do that it to exclude "undesirables" in the rendering. Bad pr but good if you are bringing the renderings up before a bunch of old white men.

And, unfortunately, if you're trying to get the Roswell City Council to grant a special use permit to build apartments.

Are those batteaux down by the waterfront?
