Those look really nice. My issue with townhomes is how they interact with the street. I HATE townhouse subdivisions. If these are built on a pre-existing street and right off the sidewalk then I will be very happy.

Are there any mods that can take care of crap like this........

Agreed. These units look well thought out and I appreciate the diversity in the facades. Townhome subdivisions in Atlanta are more often horrendous than not. Developments like this (if abutting a street, as presumed), would be huge for providing density and diversifying our housing stock. Going straight from skyscraper to single family home happens too often. We are definitely missing multi-family and townhomes throughout Atlanta.

Building permit filed for the impact fees to convert the United Way office building at 100 Edgewood into a 253-unit apartment building.

These are for the townhome subdivision that is next to the new Kroger. It is separated from the rest of the grid by a single entrance on either side to the subdivision.

Do you happen to have a map or diagram? I googled and I don't see these in any of the Fuqua development plans. I can only find individual townhome layouts, not how they'll look together and how they'll front the streets. The individual townhome designs also don't exactly match up with the concept art on the developer's webpage.

ARC's 2017 population estimates were released today. The city of Atlanta "added 9,900 new residents between 2016 and 2017, the largest single-year estimated population increase since the Great Recession." 13% of residential growth in 2016/2017 happened in the city, and 87% outside the city limits (mainly in Fulton, Gwinnett, and Cobb). So there's still a lot of suburban growth, but every county experienced slower growth from 2010-2017 than the 1990-2010 average, while the City of Atlanta is growing 17 times faster than its 1990-2010 average, and in just this past year the growth rate was 41 times faster than the 1990-2010 yearly average. Huge shift.

Edit: quick chart I made of city of Atlanta population in the last 37 years. Decade data from the census, 2015-2017 data from ARC.

we looked at a few of the different developments going in around lindbergh... from what i could see of what has already gone up, that one looked to be the worst of whats in the area in both design and layout. the ones around cosmopolitan drive are definitely better.

the two developments going in in morningside, while 'townhome subdivisions' from what i've seen do seem to create some interesting streets and have more than a couple of access points to piedmont/cheshire bridge/rockledge/bismark. it's a fairly small area and an odd plot of land, but they seem to follow fairly decent urbanist practices with garages on alleys at the back.

I know exactly what these are going...I'm not sure how they're going to build "subdivision-like" townhomes where these are going...the lot is literally surrounded by dense midrise apartments. It's in that dense corridor that's to the east of the MARTA station. I remember taking a drive through there 5 or so months back and man that area has gotten really dense.

This is one of the more remarkable aspects of this development:

Rather than building a new parking deck, Trammell Crow would reportedly buy one of MARTA’s two parking decks at the station, providing space for 600 cars.

Would someone please remind me, is that giant parking deck on North Ave wrapped with anything? Offices? Residences? Or just parking?

@Shivtim, I saw that too. Most telling to me is this:
"the region added 78,300 new residents." > "over 27,100 new residential units permitted in the 10-county region". Would be interesting to compare with age demographics of new residents.

They're cramming a decent amount onto this site, if you don't count the existing MARTA deck. Glad the hotel is there, makes the loop road they're pulling through under the deck seem like it will be less depressing.

Current proposal:

Wish there was a ground level plan in the pdf so we could see the street interaction, but compared to the old plan, I think this is definitely an improvement.

But they chopped off several floors, right? That stinks if I'm correct.
