Colony Square Redevelopment - Midtown

Have they dialed back on the retail or is it my imagination?

It seems fairly consistent with their previous set of plans and renderings. They've hidden the two towers at the foreground, which I'm sure will be getting a facelift at the ground level.

Good infill, happy to see a parking lot go. Will hold judgement until final revisions are made. Hoping to see something that blends in better with the surrounding architecture. Tired of seeing lazy designs with hotels these days.

The DRC has asked them to take another look at the facade-- this version is pretty disjointed and not particularly interesting. This architectural firm seems incapable of producing 'interest' (or maybe even competence)...
Pity those with units on the lower floors of the apartment building next door.

I have the email addresses for their executives if you would like to share your opinion....

Cowtippers closing to make way for a high-rise multi-family development:

Wow I can't believe that Cowtippers is still open. I worked at Einstein's one of my last years in Atlanta before moving to New York. I have such great memories of both places (and Joe's on Juniper).

Einstein's is my favorite. I have never been to Cowtippers but sadly should try it out before it's too late!

I'd assume this would mean Smithe's and around to the Goodwill (1593 Monroe) is on the way out as well as Selig owns that whole corner. The lot is too small for a small development, and there's no way a "high rise" will be put in there, but I'll take something like the Piedmont Sprouts development on that corner. I assume this is getting accelerated because of the fire damage at Ansley II.

Good find. Would you mind posting these on the Colony Square thread? Also, that 3:12 flyover video from the Colony Square website.

I know, I know. I need to learn to post images and videos myself. Ha.

Yes Masta..anything else Masta? I am not clipping your toe nail again though - that was weird.

1105 West Peachtree - Progress?

Midtown Alliance is showing 1105 West Peachtree as under construction. Also the square footage has increased from the original 645,000 sqft to 770,000 sqft and the condos are now apartments.

There was nobody on-site yesterday when I walked by so I can confirm nothing has started since demo. It's empty just like the Opus site. Nobody is ever there.

On the other hand, just anecdotally, it seems as though the Alexan side finally had a full crew working at 880 W. Peachtree.

Selig owns the lots to the northeast. Chances are we may see something quality proposed. My hope is the one story shops remain and anything from Smoothie King, UPS/strip mall, Cowtippers, and that surface parking lot get up to Atmosphere get redeveloped. Sans for the SFH stretch just north on Piedmont, in general redevelop mixed-use along Piedmont up to Lindbergh. With bus routes along Lindbergh and the future purple line, mixed use is appropriate for this stretch.

The rendering is better than I expected, but I am glad they are asking them to revisit the facade. This location deserves something more significant.
