Atlanta Project Thread IV

[dirtybird]

I've always thought it'd be great if they built a highrise at the corner of Peachtree and Lenox where the mall parking lot currently sits.

[Atlriser]

There were plans floated a couple years ago with an apt tower at Peachtree/Lenox as well as Lenox built out to Peachtree with storefronts lining the street I thought. I agree that Lenox will undergo a similar development as Phipps. I can see Lenox becoming more like Aventura Mall surrounded completely by parking decks with mid rise and high rise residences and offices. The land is becoming to valuable to simply remain decks and surface parking.

Simon has stated to Wall Street it is looking to unlock the land value of its most centrally located and profitable urban malls. Lenox definitely fits that criteria for Simon. It is interesting that Simon choose a hotel for this site. It was originally an apartment tower several years back was it not? Guess Simon was able to get the hotel financed first or the land sold I guess.

This also matches with Phipps doesn’t it? They did a hotel, then added apartments onsite and finally began adding more services, offices and additional hotel rooms.

I WILL TAKE IT, BUT IT COULD BE A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN THIS GLASS MENAGERIE

Hulsey Yard is virtually empty.

40 acres with over half a mile of frontage on @AtlantaBeltLine and direct connection to Marta at Inman Park/Reynoldstown Station.

Hulsey & Tilford Yards alone are enough to stir the thought of an additional More MARTA project list and potential funding source from at least the City of Atlanta.

Jeff Parker wants a $100 billion moonshot, to which I am curious as to how he'd propose generating those funds.

In the interim, however, I would like MARTA to piece together potential additional project lists and what could be achieved if additional funding sources were had. I'd like to see potential projects, estimated costs, and how much revenue could be generated from different options of funding sources (such as if only Atlanta opted in compared with Fulton, Dekalb, Gwinnett, and Cobb for example and if that were an additional half penny sales tax, land value tax, per vehicle tag fee, parking fee,etc.)

After taking FOREVER to get this far, the refresh of 730 Peachtree's front end looks to be getting somewhere. They must have like two people working on this smallish project. Also, will someone please buy and demolish Solace next door? That rat-infested flea trap is a scar on the cheek of Midtown.

The latest Starbucks for Midtown is looking good at the Standard, a mere block or so away from the Starbucks at the Barnes and Noble (aka the GA Tech book store.)

[Martinman]

I had forgotten about the Starbucks in that development.

To be fair, there already was a Starbucks in that location before they started on the Standard. Almost always had a shorter line than the B&N location as well.

This definitely looks like it! Good find! The windows and the concrete pillars in the distance appear to match what’s in the renderings and what’s being constructed. The only discrepancy I see is there are 3 cylindrical columns being constructed on the north end, but the rendering appears to have two.

A Florida developer known for luxury condo towers paid almost $14 million for a prime Buckhead property.

West Palm Beach-based The Kolter Group LLC has been working for months on the deal along Peachtree Road where last year plans for a stunning 21-story condo tower fell through. It’s unclear what Kolter could be planning on the Buckhead site.

Interesting how the facade is removed, presumably for re-use, in sections. Lower left shows one being loaded onto a flatbed.

It will be hard to top Emerson's look, but I hope they at least try with this one.

Emory University is planning a $475 million cancer tower at Emory University Hospital Midtown.

The new cancer tower at 550 Peachtree Street would be 17 stories and be located on the north side of the EUHM campus and connected to the existing hospital, according to plans filed with the Georgia Department of Community Health.

The tower will consist of approximately 455,000 square feet of new construction and will include about 64 inpatient beds and 26 observation beds. "The tower will also include research space, perioperative services, imaging services, radiation oncology, a clinical laboratory, pharmacy, infusion therapy and outpatient clinic space. In addition, an array of support services will located in the new tower," Emory says.

[Martinman]

Down goes another surface lot. And after working with the planning department on a master plan for the campus, I would expect this to properly engage the street level.

LOL! Sad thing is I wouldn’t put it past Fuqua to propose something like this.

I'm laughing because I know it's fake, but I'm going to cry when I find out it's real.
