I absolutely agree with you. The city deserves better.

I agree with water being a natural promoter of density in the coastal cities. Couldn't Atlanta use the Beltline as some sort of barrier to promote more density (I think that's already happening)?

Yes, and I also think it's already happening.

Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens is scheduled to host a groundbreaking Sunday morning for what’s described as “new faith-based affordable housing development” around Atlanta First United Methodist Church’s 360 Peachtree Street property.

I'm not sure, but from the rendering, it looks as if the 2nd Phase is 16 stories added on top of one of the 1st Phase buildings. Seems like a different approach, but maybe I'm misinterpreting the rendering.

The curved 1st phase building looks really awesome as it's shown, I just hope it doesn't get a VE (value-engineered) treatment that alters the design - given the fact that it includes a lot of affordable units.

So that's been the delay with the project. Glad to see it's still moving forward at some point.

I'm pretty sure i read they were going to wrap it in a second phase.

[shivtim]

Yes, Phase II will add another building around the parking deck.

"The phase two residential building will be seven stories and will wrap around three sides of the parking deck, so the structure will only be visible from Ridgewood Drive."

"When complete, the project will increase Emory’s supply of available graduate student housing by providing 1,000 beds in a mix of micro-studio, studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. The project will include a 275-space structured parking deck for students who want to pay a premium to park near their apartment or students can park at existing Emory parking decks on campus. However, since this site was chosen in response to students’ preference for a pedestrian lifestyle, the expectation is many students who used to commute to campus will no longer need to drive."

Phase I will also include a coffee shop and 10-foot multi-use trails along North Decatur Road and Haygood Drive.

Thanks, Shiv. I personally like the scale of this development. Hope phase II comes along quickly and covers up that deck.

Shame about the civil-war era house. At passing glance i would have guessed 1930s-40s not 1840s.

Initial concept for the Portman site at Ponce and the Beltline.

[shivtim]

Planning permit filed for townhomes at 54 Waverly Way near the Inman Park MARTA station.

"...for the development of fee simple townhomes of varying unit types ranging from about 1750 SF to 2100SF. The diversity in sizes will allow for a diversity in housing affordability for the neighborhood."

Yes, please!!

[Martinman]

Portman has really stepped up their development game. The initial concept looks pretty good to me.

Planning permit filed for a hotel at 663 11th street in west midtown.
Is this just part of the Interlock Phase 2 that is already under construction? At least in 2021 they said "There was a lot of interest in the hotel, but the financial implications of building a hotel and finding debt just made it an impossibility."
