But man VHCA a bunch of NIMBY’s:

11 story hotel (150 rooms)
351 residential units (with 30% affordable units)
1 story grocery store (20,000 sq ft)
Restaurant space (15,000 sq ft)
745 parking spaces

“ We believe that there are many opportunities near 10th and Monroe consistent with the vision of the BeltLine that can achieve many of the expressed goals and still respect the existing historic single family neighborhoods. The scope of such planning should logically include the city-owned land on which the Park Tavern is located, where there are a number of future options. Uses for that area should be explored during the comprehensive planning process that is needed for the 10th and Monroe area.”

I'm not sure that I disagree with them in this case. I think it would be wise to do some comprehensive planning around that intersection before adding to the traffic cluster that already exists. And as we can already see, density is coming to the adjacent properties in the area.

What density coming to adjacent properties?? I don’t recall anything at 10th and Monroe. That and they’re literally recommending you build at nearly the exact same location across the beltline. Building at 1016 Monroe or Park Tavern would not make a significant difference.

I get that traveling southbound — on Monroe. That said, we shouldn’t refrain from building infill within walkable distance to transit stations and major job markets because it’ll screw someone’s travel time who lives outside the area. Living in Virginia Highland and commuting home along 10th Street the last 3 years I’ve hardly ever hit traffic even during rush hour. I’d welcome the new grocery and neighbors. Transit is also coming here from Lindbergh to downtown. That said, I don’t think 700 parking spaces is fitting even with underground parking I also welcome reconfiguration of the intersection, particularly extending 10th Street directly to Virginia Ave through he northeast corner of Grady High School.

If I am not mistaken, 1016 Monroe is the only proposal between 725 Ponce and Piedmont along the BeltLine, essentially a 1.7 mile gap of development. Furthermore, there's a proposed reduction in development a mile away at the intersection of Piedmont and Monroe for the park expansion. The only true recent/under construction/proposed development northbound from 725 Ponce might be in Armour Yards.

This is from November. I'm not sure what is the latest statement on it whether it is apartments/condos.

New 1105 West Peachtree rendering.

The company is developing several major projects including:

-The Works at Chattahoochee, an 80-acre adaptive reuse development in Atlanta’s Upper Westside.
-1105 West Peachtree, a mixed-use, high-rise development in Midtown.
-1125 Peachtree Street, a mixed-use, high-rise development.

Are they ever going to modernize the Marriott on 14th? It’s hideous and so outdated, very mid 90s.

Does that mean that there are now plans for 1125 Peachtree to start moving forward? I haven't anything about that project since before the recession...

It is mentioned on their website. 1125 Peachtree Street- 300 apartments, 160 condos, and 75,000 SF of retail. This should crack 50 floors.

Hideous? Mundane maybe.

It would be mundane if it is located in the Perimeter. However, to be situated among some of the tallest and best buildings architecturally in all of the South, it is truly hideous.

[themaguffin]

Um, ok, then.

[Sura]

It is pretty bad. Hideous seems like an appropriate word for it.

[BunkyWay]

Hopefully Selig decides to move into 1105 W. Peachtree and re-develop its HQ building, 1100 Spring. That is far uglier than the 14th St. Marriott.

[Street Advocate]

1105 and 1125 will make a huge impact for this part of Midtown and I cannot wait for either to break ground. 14th to 10th still feels so uninviting in many areas. Meanwhile, 5th to Peachtree Place (and parts of 10th street) are really coming together as a neighborhood. Really looking forward to what Midtown grows into. I particularly hope to see more entertainment and better dining options come to Midtown as the neighborhood matures.

[Pemgin]

It's nice that 1105 W. Peachtree has a north-south orientation, like Icon and Post.

Forgot about this project; looks like it’s ready to go.

Anyone know where they are in the permitting process. And what’s up with the medical office going up Collier and Peachtree? I thought that was a go. Anyone.

.

What's the nearest intersection for the project? Google hasn't made it clear to me where this is located. I'm not a huge fan of this stretch of Peachtree, but I'm hoping Peachtree Creek to 85 will be a legitimate walkable neighborhood at some point in time.

It’s right across the street from the recently remodeled 1776 Peachtree St. I forgot the address. It’s also adjacent to that white building they gutted and redeveloped.

Thank you both! That's where I originally thought it was, then Google started crapping out on me and suggesting it was near Peachtree Valley. IDK what happened there. This will be a nice addition to the neighborhood.
