wow so that Smith Dalia proposal was rejected? when did this rejection happen? dont remember hearing about that..

this was a really kickass design for the space.. i cant imagine something better than this coming from Fuqua

https://www.aiaga.org/design_awards/the-terraces-at-the-park/

its a pretty small space so i cant imagine he will fuck it up as bad as... everything else he's done. guuuuuuh

This might be a dumb question but I'm confused so I'm gonna ask it anyway. How come nimbys can reject the Terraces at the Park but nothing is gonna stop Fuqua's plans? Did I miss something there?

I have the same question. It seems like he shits all over town as he so pleases.

I think there is some misinformation here. Terraces on the Park is a conceptual project, not an actual proposal. It's from an architect, and was never attached to a developer. For all we know, this is the concept Fuqua is going with. Much of the site is owned by the Beltline and Invest Atlanta, so any proposal would have to meet their requirements (all parking must be hidden and it must be mixed-use, for example).

The taco place in Skyhouse South is building out its patio now. That little plaza will be nice when it is finished... Too damn bad that they had to make that plaza a parking lot rather than a pedestrian space.

It would have made a great pocket park or dog park.

The townhome boom continues, with 6 more multi-family building permits filed this morning. Developments in Virginia Highland and NE of Lindbergh.

Woohoo! Keep the townhomes/multifamily units coming to the EST.

Ahhh okay, I knew it was just a concept and not an actual proposal, but I was confused why Fuqua's planning meant that the concept was dead, but maybe it's not, so there's still some hope there. I'll reserve judgement until I see the actual plans. I'm happy to hear they won't be able to throw up some garbage on that prime piece of Beltline land though.

Look at that beautiful surface parking lot...Fuqua's trademark. It will become known as one of the city's foremost landmarks.

Terraces on the Park was an actual proposal with an attached developer. Like many developments, it didn't quite make it, but it's not entirely dead. There are a variety of reasons for why it didn't move forward (at least not yet), one being that the BeltLine put out a bid for the land between the BeltLine and what the developers own and the developers lost the bid to another developer. Although from what I heard that developer is having issues making something work with the land, although that might be rumor.

Although the neighborhood was / is hard to work with, they didn't kill the deal. It never got that far.

[ATLcubs]

The only good thing about Fuqua's garbage is the fact that these developments will be sold and torn down 30-40 years from now. They're blocking up some plots now, but they aren't built to last, they're built to provide fast, shitty housing and retail. When Atlanta is running low on prime land, everyone knows what will be redeveloped first.

Thanks for the clarification. I certainly never saw this on the NPU-F or NPU-E meeting agendas, and not in planning permits, so I think no version of it has ever left the drawing board.

Does anyone know if this master plan would ever see the light of day? Lots of things in there are great

Parking is still there when/if an office building is built. "3 floors of parking."

I see that, but I'm not optimistic.

The Beltline right there looks pathetic. Literally a sidewalk through a shopping center.

[sbrptree]

Real Tacos patio has been there...they just recently added the orange umbrellas for the outside tables so it's more visible from Peachtree.

The initial plan was to make the area more of a terrace for outside dining, but now with QT and Midtown Blue moving in, that plan went out the window.
