I drove by the Post tower the other day and couldn't figure out how it relates to the street.

I wonder if it within the SPI? If so they would need bigger sidewalks, fenestration, active uses, etc.

Buckhead, I believe--

[cabasse]

is that the post tower that has been well under way for some time (across lenox from the alliance towers) or something new?

Thank goodness. I thought it was the tower going up on 11th lol north of Midtown MARTA Station.

Yeah, that's the one. The building itself is not bad, but I can't figure out how it will interact with the street (if at all). It looks totally walled off to me.

Maybe it is just outside the Lenox SPI?

Local CRE blog, Curbed Atlanta notes that Krog Street Market developer,Paces Properties, plans to resurrect the decrepit Atlanta Dairies complex on Memorial Drive with an 11 acre, $125 million undertaking partly inspired by Portland, Oregon's Kennedy School, that will include retail, commercial, office and residential pieces with an "Americana and entertainment focus" dubbed, Atlanta Dairies.

The retail components will be built in three existing buildings, including the main structure (the brick building with the curved front) and everything to the east. According to Paces officials, tenants are slated to include "live music, indoor and outdoor," a "bowling, skee-ball and pinball bar," a "24-hour diner" and "some sort of literary center" with a coffee shop feel.

Office space — which may include a recording studio — will rise instead, as well as 300 new-construction apartments.

Paces executives said, is for ground to break this September, though they'll be doing preliminary site work in the meantime.Perkins + Will, the firm behind the Beltline's design, is leading the way on the architecture side of things.

Are those still moving forward?

Post Centennial Park will move ahead this year - likely March groundbreaking, last I heard.

Someone on here also recently mentioned a rumor about a company looking to put their HQ (thousands of people) at 50 Allen Plaza - which would mean developing a very large office tower. But that's a far-off proposal, if anything.

Don't forget about everything going in at Underground, too. Other than that, not much new development happening. Some conversions here and there, but spotty at best. It's a shame.

Now that the 32-story 1163 W Peachtree apartment tower is under construction, has anyone heard any updates on the 22 14th Street proposal? It would be really nice to have the corner of 14th Street @ West Peachtree St completed.

Good question. Last word was the parcel is under contract to Jorge M. Perez of Related Group, Miami. Practically everything he does is condos not apartments. Let's hope we get lucky with something that looks like this..

The Post tower doesn't relate to the street at all, its sunken in that lot and is below street level. But none of the other highrises on the block address the street neither. Maybe developers felt with Phipps Plaza being directly across the street they didn't want to compete.

Thanks for that website Libertarian.

Those were some very nice designs for residential buildings. Unfortunately, or fortunately, we have a rendering of the proposal already. The design was different from what we have seen proposed in the area so it should be a nice addition. I wonder how the architects got away with not making the design mimic One Atlantic Center.

Regarding condos: I really wish there were more highrise condominium offerings in the Midtown market. When I say highrise, I am referring to buildings above 40 stories. Right now the most promising prospects are for the Yoo on Peachtree or one of the 98 14th Street proposals.

A $2.25 million, four bedroom condo on the 47th floor of the Four Seasons went on the market, went into escrow and then closed in about two months. Clearly there is a market for high-end highrise condos in the Midtown submarket.

There are more options, The Atlantic is 46 floors and the Sovereign is 50 floors; Park Avenue Condos are 44 floors, Mandarin Oriental is 42 floors, Loew's Midtown is 40 floors

I think he was referring specifically to Midtown. Loew's Midtown is the only one in your list that would qualify. I do not consider The Atlantic, in Atlantic Station, to be a part of Midtown.

I'm sure the 47th Floor 4BR condo you spoke of at the Four Seasons is the one that used to be owned by a close friend of my Dad's. The unit takes up about 3/4 of the floor, so there's not enough room for another 4BR. It is amazing! It has 7 balconies, facing south, east, and west..talk about a view! Was 2-units combined into one huge condo prior to him buying it. Would love to see that view today after all of the growth that Midtown has experienced since the last time I visited him there.

But the views from the Atlantic are some of the best in the city

And this was the condo at Four Seasons that sold recently http://www.atlantaskyriseblog.com/2014/1...lf-floor-4740-is-sky-high-luxury-living/ (to a strip club owner if I recall correctly)
