Yup last I heard there should be an announcement within a month. I'm expecting something pretty grand on that lot to be honest. And I think this - if they are taking down the billboard - is a sign (no pun intended) that they want to move quickly.

I think you're right that it will be significant but I'd be surprised to see anything start there before 2016.

Permitting takes 4-6 months so if they started permitting in August, they wouldn't start until after the start of 2016.

[QUOTE=ATLSkyPalaceOwner;7061722]Walked by the Modera site today. No one was working but they are erecting a crane.





That is the crane getting ready to do Caissons.... (The cylindrical foundations to rock that the building will bear on)

Noticed in this Saporta Report article about NCR Campus they have a rough site plan image of I assume the first phase of the campus:

Siteplan comes from the Invest Atlanta Bond Issuance resolution documents: http://www.boarddocs.com/ga/investatlant... Bond Resolution Fact Sheet 5_6_2015.pdf

Good god those floorplates are massive! seeing how they want to keep the buildings between 8 and 12 stories it makes sense I'm just shocked at the scale.

The area in red is NCR's campus. I assume the white area are the new building(s) (which appears to be 2 structures). Although they do not seem overly large. What are the green boxes meant to represent?

More than likely it's a plaza space on top of a parking deck podium.

A little action on the Amli Arts site; a man from JE DUNN has been pacing back and forth on the site, in a straight line from parking spot 63, heading south. He has a handful of blueprint sized papers in both hands, and he keeps staring back to West Peachtree and then at the papers. He has had long moments of his hands on his hips and he really looks perplexed. Returned to #63 and stayed glued for some time staring. Spent about half an hour doing this.

Seem the ruckus is about to start...

Has AMLI Arts Center started the permitting process yet?

Yes, its Land Dev. Is approved and now is pending final arborist approval for a week or two.

Will 2015 be the busiest year of construction Ever in Midtown?
Its starting to look like it could be.

Square on 5th : Under Construction
University House : Under Construction
60 11th Street : Under Construction
33 Peachtree Place : Under Construction
782 Peachtree : Under Construction
Seventh Midtown : Under Construction
One Museum Place : Under Construction

Atlantic House : Q1 Construction start
Yoo on the Park : Groundbreaking Feb 18
Amli Arts Center : Filed permits 12/09/2014 ... Possible Construction - March
Post Millenium : Filed permits 1/12/2015 ... Possible Construction - April
Modera Midtown : Filed permits 1/22/2015 ... Possible Construction - April
Broadstone Terraces : Filed permits 1/29/2015 ... Possible Construction - May
1010 West Peachtree : Filed permits 1/30/2015... Possible Construction - May
Alta at the Park : Possible Construction - Summer

It seems to typically take about 3 months to get land disturbance permits to start construction so I projected the earliest some of these projects could break ground.

On the down side Eviva Peachtree seems to have stalled in permitting since they first filed some permits back in April of last year. Does anyone have an idea what the issue could be?

Are you just staring at this parking lot all day?

Pretty much, as it is my "front yard". I am on the 12th floor of the 1280 West building, facing south, retired, and enjoy the view. Just waiting to see how much of it will remain once the dread Leviathan rises from the earth.

The billboard in the parking lot on 7th and Peachtree has been completely removed.

Should make for some good people watching though. I don't think I just speak for myself that when in hotels/apartments/condos with floor to ceiling windows, people suddenly become exhibitionist. Be thankful I am not your neighbor!

My apologies to the unfortunate people near the Marriott Marquis Times Square last week in NYC.

[Stairstars]

Thanks, but I fear for the new residents as the glass is a two way view

I am often on the computer in my "shorts".

We have a settee set up facing the wall of glass, where my wife is fond of directing traffic and predicting the weather (she has a better record than the so called experts here) as well as people watching.

Since, we are towards the rear of our building, we are hoping that the new structure will end just at our center view, preserving the downtown skyline.

Mmmkkkk....way too much information....let's get back to construction lol.


Post Millennial and AMLI Arts Center should reasonably start in the next couple of months.

Can anyone get past Biz Journal paywall:

Beltline deal possible on Atlanta’s vibrant Eastside
Atlanta Business Chronicle
Douglas Sams

North American Properties is front-runner to acquire tract on DeKalb Avenue that has frontage on the Atlanta Beltline trail.

North American Properties is poised to make another bet on the Atlanta Beltline, this time along a heavily industrial stretch of DeKalb Avenue.
The Cincinnati-based developer — which has a large office in Atlanta — has emerged as the front-runner to acquire a 1.7-acre tract where the Beltline enters DeKalb Avenue across from CSX Corp. terminal at Hulsey Yard.
North American Properties might consider a 225- to 275-unit apartment project on the site, which is one of the Beltline’s most interesting and potentially complex. The Atlanta Streetcar could eventually be routed under the development. The property also includes frontage on the Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail.

The developer could pay in the range of $2.5 million for the site, according to Databank Inc., an Atlanta research firm focused on commercial real estate.
“This is another example of the [gentrification] of Atlanta’s vibrant east side,” said Will Mathews, a vice president with Colliers International’s Southeast multifamily advisory group. “I anticipate more development on the Beltline bordering DeKalb Avenue to service increasing demand.”

In February, Atlanta BeltLine Inc. issued a request for proposals seeking a real estate company to buy and redevelop the site, which lies in a “revitalizing area between Edgewood and DeKalb avenues, nearby neighborhoods ... and is a gateway to the Eastside trail.”
The BeltLine also wanted the development to add more retail and commercial units along the Edgewood and DeKalb corridors and feature “a pedestrian-friendly urban design.”
In 2007, the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation gave $8 million to help build the Historic Fourth Ward Park, a key step in the construction of the Eastside Trail. Since then, 2,353 market-rate apartments have been built along the route, another 632 units are supposed to be finished over the next two years, and almost 1,400 more remain in the development pipeline, real estate consulting firm Haddow & Co. said.

North American Properties is a major player in Atlanta, with its Avalon project in Alpharetta and its turnaround of the retail heart of Midtown’s Atlantic Station on 17th Street taking the spotlight.
It’s also become one of the busiest apartment developers in the Old Fourth Ward.
North American is trying to capture the demand for rental housing from employees seeking to live within walking or biking distance of their intown offices.

Just south of Old Fourth Ward, 670 DeKalb Avenue sits between the King Memorial and Edgewood Candler Park train stations.
MARTA has struck deals with developers that would build more rental housing around those stations.
The area is also only about a 10-minute walk to Ponce City Market, said Amanda Rhein, senior director of transit-oriented development for MARTA.
“There is a shift in investment toward these unique intown areas,” Rhein said, adding that the neighborhoods have the largest concentrations of authentic, historic buildings.
