2) Is 525 Parkway actually within the beltline overlay? Looks like it could be right outside.

All of the parcels on the east side of Parkway Drive are within the Beltline overlay-which includes this parcel at 525 Parkway.

Today's AJC: New state filing points to huge development in Atlanta’s Gulch area

DRI Filing: http://www.dca.ga.gov/DRI/InitialForm.aspx?driid=2758

A conceptual unified development plan for the redevelopment of the property bordered by Centennial Olympic Park Drive, Mitchell Street, Richard B Russell Plaza, Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, Ted Turner Drive and portions of Marietta Street and Forsyth Street. The property proposes a development over structured parking to create a robust transit-oriented development adjacent to two MARTA stations.

1000 apartment units, 1,500 hotel rooms, 9.35 million SF office, 1,000,000 SF retail

How much longer do we have to wait for some renderings/site plans?

Bisnow has a revised rendering that appears to engage the street a little more than the previous one. Regardless of what the renderings show/don't show, these projects will have to go before the Beltline DRC to make sure they meet the quality of life zoning requirements to properly meet the street, etc.

Considering the Willoughby got through, I am not confident in the BL DRC's teeth or their design requirements:

I'm not in the area so cannot confirm, but there's talk on r/Atlanta that there is equipment and activity at 120 Piedmont.

When was The Willoughby submitted for SAP? I feel like they snuck in right before the Beltline DRC was officially adopted (Spring of 2015) since 725 Ponce was one of the first projects they had purview of as a DRC.

Out of curiosity, what do you think doesn't conform about these plans? The lots are former residential lots and are narrow. City code requires 24-foot driveways, so that leaves no room for active uses. It's not the best, but that's what the code requires.

I am as bleeding heart liberal as they come...but do you know how long there was boarded up former low-income housing on Boulevard? For some of those properties...the only displacement will be rats and pigeons.

Also the 17 story apartment tower at Centennial Dr and Ivan Allen filed a building permit and paid $161K in development fees this week. To be called "Generation Atlanta" with 331 units. Not sure if this rendering from July is the final design:

The first building of the NCR HQ will officially open 1/8/18. That is when the first groups move in.

From my guess, this looks to be at LEAST 900 FEET...
