You make a good point.

From my perspective this:


Looks like this:

They did the cheap stucco at 33 Peachtree place and Viewpoint retail upgrade courtyard. It sucked living in the area because the Styrofoam like product they apply first they scrape and get little balls of Styrofoam everywhere.

I sooo wish I could swap out this project's location with some others that don't do nearly as good a job of a) integrating the parking and b) engaging the street level.

It's actually not a bad location for retail because there will be a captive audience of several thousand workers and residents within a couple of blocks.

In the restaurant industry, the dinner ticket is 3 X a lunch ticket. Therefore you probably will not be seeing any high-end restaurants.

smArTaLlone, I too wish Modera was located in a more prominent part of Midtown. I really love this project and the one they are doing in Buckhead.

In WDG's videos there is a video of another new tower I never saw anything about before, It is the building behind the W in Buckhead:

No - that building has been there. I think a company purchased it last year and looks to be adding retail/restaurant space to the front of the building from the video.

I didn't notice that (it also has more built to it in the back of it in the video where a parking deck is currently at), but actually I mean the building in the video that is here:

Good eye G-nuts!

I must say if this was to ever happen, it would be quite a dense development. I moved to my house behind Phipps Plaza about 10 years ago and this area has completely transformed in that short time. When I first moved here, I would never see people walking down Peachtree. Now it is as active as Midtown in terms of pedestrian traffic in my opinion.

It's not that I'm concerned about the retail. It's that I think it would have a much bigger impact on the Midtown's streetscape if it were on Spring, West Peachtree or Peachtree.

There are already a lot of developments happening on those streets though. It's good that this kind of thing is spreading east and west too. I don't think the retail will be anything like what is pictured, however... an access road like that will have almost no foot traffic and will probably end up with a dry cleaner or fast food place or something. The retail component of this may never be stellar but the residential units will help feed more retail on Spring, and that's a positive for the entire neighborhood.

Terwilliger Pappas:
Now, the developer has turned its attention to a roughly 4-acre site next to the upscale St. Regis Atlanta hotel. The property, which today includes retail businesses such as Drybar Buckhead and Flywheel Sports, is owned by Easlan Capital of Atlanta Inc. Preliminary discussions about the site have included developing a mixed-used project featuring apartments, retail and even a hotel, according to several commercial real estate leasing and development executives who are active in the Village.

The plan is for the property to become a 175-room, eight-story hotel. The flag for the hotel is still unclear, although it would be an upper midscale brand, such as a Hampton Inn, Home2 Suites by Hilton or Holiday Inn Express.

New details about the renovation of Manuel’s Tavern reveal that developer Green Street Properties plans to build a six-story structure in the parking area adjacent to the Poncey-Highland watering hole.

The new building will include parking, retail space and 71 multi-family rental units. Green Street, which bought the 108-year-old building from the Maloof family — but not the business — should finish the construction in 2017.
