Atlanta Project Thread IV

Yes. Ritz was said to be looking at opening a Midtown hotel before the recession. I don't believe a specific location was ever revealed. If it has The Ritz Carlton on it, that "secret" rendering may actually be outdated.
At any rate, a tall tower on that location would be a welcome addition. A couple of weeks ago, someone on the compilation thread did say they heard that 1125 has secured an anchor tenant for its office space.

A Norcross development group is pitching a 279-unit West Midtown condo project, potentially the tallest residential tower yet for the rapidly changing neighborhood.

The proposal comes several months after Foxdale Development LLC went before the city’s zoning review board seeking land entitlements for the 18-story project along West Marietta Street. Foxdale bought the nearly 1.8-acre vacant property on the south side of West Marietta Street near Brady Avenue in September 2016.

Foxdale paid about $8 million, according to Fulton County records.

Foxdale's planned tower is near a 55-acre packaging plant in West Midtown that is being pitched as a more than 2-million-square-foot redevelopment, one of the area's largest adaptive-reuse projects yet. The 900,000-square-foot plant, with ties to the Atlanta Paper Co., could generate bids in the range of $50 million to $60 million.

Good Van Slyke Architecture is designing the tower, according to Foxdale.

Plans were just filed with the city of Atlanta to add about 60,000 square feet of retail space to the Campanile building at Peachtree and 14th streets. It would occupy two stories, filling in ground-floor space around the existing building.

“These new additional retail spaces, with exposure to Peachtree, 13th, 14th and Juniper streets, will attract discerning retail and office tenants that demand one of Atlanta’s premier addresses,” says the application submitted by Long Engineering. “The proposed expansion will seamlessly complement the existing structure to create an environment that simulates pedestrian activity for the Campanile project and Midtown community.”

Haven't seen any updates around here on the Dairies project lately, so I took some pictures while I was on this side of the neighborhood today:

It is such a phenomenal transformation taking place along Memorial Drive and I think Atlanta Dairies will only take the area to the next level.

Re: The Campanile renovation :

I know Dewberry is considered a curse word around here but I'm very happy to see this move forward. It, along with Colony Square, can hopefully help to bring some retail heft that Midtown has thus far lacked while less dense and less central intown neighborhoods are booming with it.

5:00 NEW APPLICATION: Park Modern (1200 14th Place)
Project Type: Demolition of existing residential for 13 new residential units of 29,673 s.f. including one row of 9 units and one row of 3 units constructed as attached 4 story townhouses. Each of the five 3 bedroom units and eight 4 bedroom units is accessible by foot via a central 4’-0” walkway. Parking is provided at 2 spaces per unit (26 total) accessible in the rear via two existing alleys on each side of the site. Also, a 6,000 s.f. courtyard fronts upon 14th Pl. and would include a lap pool, bocce court and park green. Office of Design are the architects of record.

5:40 NEW APPLICATION: Pershing Point - Commercial Adaptive Reuse (1375 Peachtree St.)
Project Type: Renovation and slight expansion of existing commercial buildings at the northeast corner of Peachtree St. and 17th St. which were most recently renovated in the 1990’s. The work includes a modified lobby, new 3rd floor ‘green’ lounge along with a semi-transparent screen fronting Peachtree St. At grade level, a linear park (that maintains the existing trees on-site) and expanded courtyard along Peachtree St is intended as a common activity filled space accessible by the Peachtree sidewalk. Vehicular access and parking would remain via a rear alley. ASD/SKY are the architects of record.

6:20 NEW APPLICATION: Campanile Building Retail Expansion (1155 Peachtree St.)
Project Type: Commercial expansion of the Campanile building of ~60,400 s.f. for new retail and office fronting 13th St., Juniper St. and 14th St. The addition would infill retail spaces along the periphery of the existing building with 2 story structures with direct pedestrian access.

The site would be bifurcated by a separated publicly accessible private street extension of Arts Center Way from the east at West Peachtree St. to Spring St which would serve as the primary access to the buildings. The site also would have full access from Spring St., West Peachtree St. and 16th St. and ingress only from 17th St.. Cooper Carry are the architects of record. Kimley-Horn is the listed civil engineer.

Really hoping someone goes to see if they have more pictures of MetLife/17th & Spring that haven't been provided yet.

^^ The ABC will likely have renderings if no one here goes.

Interesting project. I'm a little surprised that it took this long for other grocers to try to tap into the Midtown market.

I always thought 1125 Peachtree and the lot just north of the Fox would be great locations for a grocery. Midtown will be able to handle a lot more groceries. It's just a matter of whether they build the groceries or not.

Most of the rumored grocery stores in Midtown were tied to buildings that haven't or aren't happening. I believe it was rumored that Eviva was going to have a grocer, as well as Yoo on Peachtree.

I didn't realize Yoo on Peachtree would have a grocery. I agree, both of those projects would be fantastic locations for groceries! Regardless of Eviva's design, filling in that lot during this cycle would have made a huge difference to the area, IMO. Feels like Midtown is missing a key piece that would make it feel that much more continuous.

[RocketSurgeon]

Thousands more units opening over the next couple years and no plan for a grocery store except Whole Foods which it just a niche. Publix is going to have to start charging cover.

That Publix has to be absolutely slammed now that the over 3k NCR employees moved into the neighborhood(and there's like another 2k that will move into the 2nd building) along with the thousands of new units within a 4 block square radius.

Eviva would have been a perfect location for a Sprouts or sometihng of that sort.

Agreed. That lot is a gaping hole. I would take a boring 25 story Novare glass box with a decent street presence at this point just to complete the fabric in that section of Midtown.

But instead, the situation is even worse because Integral owns the land and is sitting on it...leaving an ugly parking lot in place indefinitely.

There were actually plans to put a Publix in Eviva. The Spring/PtreePl Publix is absolutely slammed at peak times. Don't go there at 5:30PM, and good luck getting a pub sub at noon.

Yeah I was in there about a month ago at 5:30 and everywhere I tried to shop I was just in someone else's way. Reminded me of the disaster that the Whole Foods at Columbus Circle in Manhattan is with the checkout line that snakes through half the store.

WF at 14th and Spring will help and there's Savi for small orders, but another grocery would make a killing in Midtown.

Maybe it is about time for some Bodegas here and there?
