Midtown is maturing, quickly. Would be absolutely silly if any mix of 1105 W Peachtree, No. 2 Opus, SLS, 1138, and Lennar broke ground next year, yet alone all of them. Maybe we'll luck out and see the Campanile or Colony square expansions break ground, too. I'm curious when we start hearing more from MARTA and Cousins about the Arts Center 4 tower TOD as well, although I think they mentioned it was a few years out still?

1299 Northside filed for lot consolidation (industrial property north of IKEA)

569 MLK filed for demolition. I believe this is the Morris Brown building demo for the YMCA proposal. That building looks like a gem

I don't hold out a lot of hope for Campanile.

I hope Coloney Square gets started sooner than later, I think it's still a year away. UGH!

Yes, all of them! This is my dream/fantasy!

If all of them broke ground, along with the Selig proposal, the Arts Center proposal, and the MetLife property proposal, there would be a city the size of Charlotte there that wasn't there before! (A bit of an exaggeration, but wow, would that be amazing.) Let's not forget that right now there have to be 1,400 to 1,600 recently finished or u/c in Atlantic House, Apogee Midtown, 1270 Spring, and AMLI AC

Post Centennial Park is looking good, and the entire southern lot still has to be built out.

Apogee is going to loom large from the connector.

Post Millenium is making an awesome impact on the skyline from the east. I'll have to grab a pic soon! Was hoping to wait until Alta was viewable, but that may be a bit still

I was going to say the same thing regarding Campanile

I'm not sure of the construction schedule but Colony Square is planning to hold it's grand opening in July 2018 on the 50th anniversary of the original ground breaking.

Anybody know what's going on with the old building at 10th and Juniper? I believe it's a retirement home? It's all boarded up, and there's work being done to outside of the building.

Also, on a side note, there's now going to be an Ecco Buckhead:

I may very well be the only one that feels this way, but I really wish these restaurant groups would stop opening 2nd locations of the same restaurants within the city. We now have South City Kitchen Midtown / Buckhead, Bar Taco West Midtown / Inman Park, and now Ecco Midtown / Buckhead. I personally think we should let our neighborhoods keep what makes them unique, and these restaurant groups should look into new and fresh concepts when they open new places. That way visitors can venture into Atlanta's neighborhoods and not have a copy/paste experience with these very uniquely Atlanta restaurants. Just my .02.

State Farm Perimeter - Night Shot



2 more towers that mirror the current architecture are planned to break ground Q1 2017 - for a total of an additional 1.3 Million sqft.

Ecco at Lenox was announced a bit ago, but yes for the most part I agree with you. I prefer how Ford Fry opens a new concept instead of duplicates of SCK or his reataurants. Ecco also exists at the airport. I hope the best for Ecco's owners, as I love that restaurant, but admit it rubs me the wrong way with expansions within the city. As for restaurants like Barcelona and bartaco though, they are chain restaurants from the same parent company. While I'd prefer not to have a handful, they are decent quality and help compliment other local restaurants. I believe we'll see more local places pop up as our neighborhoods mature and demand better quality and more unique options. Not only for dining, but entertainment as well.

IMO, if you want to see more local places pop up, support current and upcoming local dining options instead of visiting a chain. Then frequently recommend options to those you meet, even just random people on the street.

Yes, I was also wondering if anyone heard anything about that retirement home, it looks pretty close to abandoned from my last look at it last weekend. Prime spot.

Is "Yoo Peachtree" the same project as "1138 Peachtree?" The locations, proportions of each look similar, but the details of the skin look different. Was wondering if it had been renamed/redesigned.

Yes, same project.

Not sure if anyone has realized it yet, but these two one story buildings next to the new student development on Edgewood Avenue have been demolished recently. I'm not sure if anything is planned there(the lot is a pretty good size now between Piedmont and the Student housing development), but it's always sad when these older buildings get demoed. You can see them in the Google maps link below.

Went down the connector since the first time since August. New buildings making the city feel a lot different from the highway, especially Modera and NCR:



Atlantic House feels smaller than it used to now that Apogee is taking over:



And.... Amli Arts Center:



Post and Ascent were making a decent impact, and you could see Crum and Foster after the demo for the Standard, so those two will loom over the highway as well.
