I think I've heard from someone (definitely here on this forum) that the main tenant, a law practice or accounting firm or something like that, has vacated or is in the process of vacating. If htat's true it seems like they are pretty serious about it.

Yeah they still have desks and offices set up inside of it, I could even see like pictures on the wall and I think I've seen boxes through the windows here and there, as I'm a building over, so I think they have a bit of a ways to go for clearing out still.

The law firm currently at 880 West Peachtree is Drew Eckl Farnham. Here are the permits that were filed to prepare new space for them at Suntrust Plaza.

34th Floor

35th Floor

42nd Floor

They were filed on 6-15-16.

3 alliance center is topped off.

Atlantic House they started painting the concrete pillars along the tower looks much better that way

sbrptree · #**19566** Posted **Jul 29, 2016, 12:20 AM**

Any updates on the start for Hanover at Peachtree and 7th in August? Looks like their permit has not been issued....

Downtown Update, July 2016

The new Red Phone Booth Cigar Bar, and Amalfi Pizza are coming along nicely and should open soon. These are in the old Dailey's space, right behind Hooter's and across from Tin Lizzy's on International Blvd. Cigar Bar downstairs, and Pizza upstairs.

Former Holiday Inn becoming an AC Marriott. They have a LONG way to go in transforming this place, and I hope they do a good job. It will supposedly be a $20 million redevelopment according to this article: http://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/news/2016/04/19/20-million-ac-hotel-planned-for-downtown.html

Double Tree downtown remodel. The entire back portion of the block, including the whole street behind the hotel is blocked off with construction fencing. This is a $4 million renovation per this article: https://whatnowatlanta.com/hilton-doubletree-downtown-files-plans-for-4m-renovation/

Here are some interior photos of the Home2Suites I posted exterior shots earlier. I did not get a pic of the staircase next to the elevator, which is very nice and historic looking, but leads to a locked door. According to the ABC "The roughly $11 million project is transforming a circa-1910, nine-story structure. It was built by notable Atlanta architect and preservationist P. Thornton Marye, who also led the design of the Fox Theatre. Marye housed his offices in the building, and developers now look to have the building placed on the National Register of Historic Places." http://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/real_...home2-suites-hotel-to-open-downtown.html
The article also says it has a roof top pool. I guess I will have to get a room one night and check it out.
When I walk past this building I try to imagine how excited this board would be if a nine floor, half block building were constructed/renovated in midtown with NO parking whatsoever for the building, street level retail, and buried power lines. Glad to have this open in Fairlie-Poplar, and looking forward to the Candler Hotel coming online next year, in a continual march south for the hospitality industry in Atlanta.

Post Centennial Park coming out of the ground on one side of the lot. This is a huge development that will bring lots of people downtown. I am hoping it goes up faster than Hanover Checkers. Lots of parking decks will be obscured once this development is finished, not to mention the two huge parking lots that the development is swallowing up.

I apologize if the pics are not of professional enough quality for some viewers, but I take them on my bike rides/walks, so it can be a bit hurried.

^^^ Thanks for the photos.

Also took a few iPhone quality photos while out catching Pokemon Wednesday evening...forgot to post these...just a few construction updates on some Midtown projects.

Great updates Ant and DWNTWN.

One Museum Place is turning out much, much better than I had initially feared.

Yes...I said in the beginning that this would actually look nice in that area.

RocketSurgeon · #**19571** Posted **Jul 30, 2016, 3:43 PM**

Another Midtown update: They finished the two-way conversion of 7th street this week.

(sorry, I couldn't resist

)

TarHeelJ · #**19572** Posted **Jul 30, 2016, 3:52 PM**

He had to know it would happen.

I was sad to see Dailey's downtown go...loved eating there back in the 90s.

The reason why I say don't quote photos is because it's obnoxious and annoying when you have to see the same set of photos 3 or 4 times on the same page. Not only that but it eats up a lot of bandwidth and loading times.

Martinman · #**19574** Posted **Jul 30, 2016, 6:39 PM**

Thanks for the updates Ant and DWNTWN. Every little project downtown will add up to an improved neighborhood.

Post seems to suddenly be 10 stories and is starting to shoot up now. I took a picture last month when it was five stories.

The Atlantic House parking deck just seems chintzy.

Those narrow windows on One Museum Place bother me. Seems like they'd obstruct views and make a room feel claustrophobic.

If the windows weren't practically floor to ceiling I would agree, but I think the height offsets the lack of width. I also think Atlantic House is turning out very classy...very OACish.

Atlantic House looks okay, but that is a juggernaut of a parking deck, even if it's classed up to look like OAC. I don't understand why Novare can't build parking podiums like almost every other tower going up right now.

Or build the damned thing behind the building so it's on 13th. WTF!

Is leasing information public. I wonder how Midtown Atlanta leasing info is going?

On the contrary, the windows are narrow but they are clustered in groups of three or four. As a result the exterior walls of the units are probably at least 60% windows.
