Project Type: A new project incorporating the historic H.M. Patterson & Son-Spring Hill Chapel
building and garden as the centerpiece of a mixed-use development with three
additional high-rises. The site is located north of 10th St. between Spring St. and Williams
St. A regional DRI review is triggered by the added density, which includes a 36-story
~375 unit residential tower with ground floor retail at the southeast corner of the site; a ~350 key 24-story hotel with ground floor retail at the north end of the site; and a 34-
story ~700,000 SF podium office tower along the western side of the site. Vehicular
access is proposed from one existing curbcut (on Spring St.) and five new curbcuts
including two along Spring St., one along 10th St. (for both truck and standard vehicles)
and two along Williams St. (the southern for standard vehicles and the northern for
trucks only). There are two screened parking decks holding a total of ~1,650 spaces.

I noticed that as well. Per the Business Chronicle article, HKS Inc. and Cooper Carry are the architects of the project.
Quote:
Portman Holdings will present details today for its plan to redevelop Midtown’s historic H.M. Patterson & Son Spring Hill Chapel property, with the intent to break ground on the 36-story residential tower in about a year.
The totality of the redevelopment will also be shown to the committee, but Portman and architects HKS Inc. and Cooper Carry are not expected to release much detail about the 34-story office building and 24-story hotel.
Over the next several months, the team will work on the design, which is more complicated because the office tower and hotel are connected. The development will also include two screened parking decks with a total of about 1,650 spaces.
Love it! Although I'm worried that the design may get watered down which is usually the case with Atlanta proposals. I also like the crown,make the building stand out more than the newly built projects.
Project Details
The historic H.M. Patterson & Son-Spring Hill Chapel building and garden are the focal point of the master plan, which includes three new towers, the first of which could break ground as early as Q1-Q2 of next year. The 36-story residential tower would have 375 units with ground floor retail at the southeast corner of the site. A year or so later, a 34-story, 700,000 SF podium office tower along the western side of the site would be developed in combination with a 350-key, 24-story hotel with ground floor retail at the north edge of the site. Vehicular access is proposed from one existing curbcut along Spring Street and five new curbcuts: two on Spring , one on 10th Street and two along Williams Street. Parking is provided in two separate decks at the base of the residential and office towers. Both would be fully screened and together they will accommodate 1,650 parking spaces and internal loading areas.
DRC Recommendations
Overall, the presentation was well received by the DRC. However, the committee identified several issues in need of additional study and further consideration including:
- streetscape configuration
- number of curb-cuts along Spring Street
- the setback along the north property line
- a pedestrian connection through the site
- façade details.
Next steps: The proposed density necessitates regional DRI review so the DRC anticipates an updated follow-up presentation in the coming months.
