We shouldn’t be waiting for developers to lobby the city for FAR increases until the current processes no longer meet their financial models. Increasing FARs introduces new players into the Atlanta market that may want to enter but don’t want the hassle of working with the city to change regulations.
The city needs to lead on this, not private firms. Most simply work within the parameters/box they’re provided. Considering the city and MA already provided recent FAR bonuses, there’s already been consideration to pressure and to allow more in Midtown.

That said CoA may not *want* higher FARs for Midtown, however. They may see the growth and want to build out most of the space and have more development trickle into downtown under a shorter timeline than if FARs in Midtown were to be increased.
