Reminds me of a prison.

Oh it's not that bad. It's handsome enough for a dormitory.

Is the SCAD housing building still moving forward?

It's been under construction for a few months.

It's the project going up in upper Midtown right? Where are they in the process?

Not sure, but pretty certain the crane is up.

Hard to tell with all the foliage, but looks like they at least have the foundation/first level of the parking deck in.

See this is what drives me crazy. Developers seem to have no trouble dreaming up projects that are pedestrian oriented along the Beltline. But how many times do we see development on the streets of Midtown and Downtown that engage the street level as well as this appears to.

I agree. It is worth noting the amount of foot traffic on the beltline is unrivaled in Atlanta, so that’s likely a driving force w/developers.

Not to mention it is probably a lot cheaper for a retailer or restaurant to lease space along the Beltline compared to Midtown

that's one thing that i've never quite understood. why don't developers try to self-subsidize their ground floor retail spaces for like 10 years or so to get more retail going in the core, then once the people come and build a solid base of foot traffic, then start increasing rents. it's such a weird circular argument - there's an under supply of existing ground floor retail in midtown so they can charge premium rents for that retail, but then when the argument is made for building more, they say there isn't enough foot traffic.

But its sort of like a catch-22 because the car-first approach is one of the reasons there isn't as much foot traffic on the streets as there could be in the first place. Projects on the major streets of the city should by default employ the same mentality as they do on the Beltline. And I don’t mean to discount some of the more recent developments that have been pretty good. Its just not hasn't been often enough IMO.

i see the (now demolished) c&s bank tower as a distant cousin

It would be really nice if that Centennial Hill Tower #2 that Novare had planned eventually got built. The one tower just looks so alone and somewhat out of place driving down the connector.

Now that the 32 story 50 Allen Plaza project is back in play, it might have a chance.

So THIS is going up in Cobb. Near SunTrust. New North America HQ for Thyssenkrupp bringing 600 jobs.
