Glad to hear 699 Spring Street getting started.

The same developer is behind the project next to Hanover Midtown, correct? I hope that one gets started soon.

CA Ventures, correct. I hope the CA V. Peachtree apartments and Cousins WP office towers are the next two to break ground for midtown.

What happened to 903 Peachtree?

What about 14th and Spring?

Nothing happened to it. It's still working through the process. I know it seems as though its been around for awhile but they presented to the DRC last November and filed for land development in late April this year. That seems about the typical time-frame for residential projects especially considering that they are working on three projects in the city.

14th & Spring seems to be really close to getting the land development permit approved for the office tower. The residential permit is "ready to issue". If I had to guess I would say that that 14th and spring will be the next project to break ground in Midtown.

Thanks for the updates. Yeah I forgot they're working on so many big projects in the city. I do remember someone saying that T-Mobile was packing up pretty soon so I think they'll start in the next 4 months.

Also, I would imagine that they had to prioritize the student tower being on the same block with Norfolk Southern.

That last bit is plausible. Cousins could have incentivized them to deliver on a parallel timeline or CA Ventures May have just prioritized opening for the 2021 school-year.

Will be huge for Atlanta is we get this next wave of projects out of the ground from the proposals in midtown, Bankhead, downtown, EST, Capitol Ave, and SST. There’s so much about to break ground that would help solidify (relatively) walkable areas around the city and boost density for bus and rail ridership.

5th Street Bicycle Refresh has gotten some major upgrades as of recent plans.

-From Williams to West Peachtree it is now a grade separated cycle track.
-The tech trolley stops have dedicated locations with raised midblock crossings for pedestrians by them and the cycle track joins the same grade as the sidewalk at these trolley stops and returns to other grade afterwards
-They are pushing for Williams and 5th to get a signal pending city approval.
-Additional street trees added along the Williams to West Peachtree route
-All impacted intersections will get CoA bike crossing markings

10th Street Bridge has received a downgrade in terms of artistic component, but it too will have a dedicated cycle track that connects to the Turner offices across the highway and connects with the Modera Midtown high-rise and all the way to 12th and Williams intersection. On the bridge there will be concrete barriers to protect and separate vehicle traffic from pedestrians and cyclists

It also has one significant downgrade. Previous plans had separated one-way cycle tracks from Williams to West Peachtree. The new design is a two-way cycle track on the South side of the street. This change was made specifically to preserve parking spaces, at the request of the property owner or leasing company. This is despite research that shows one-way cycle tracks are safer. In this case, west bound cyclists will have to switch from a one-way, to a two-way, and back to a one-way cycle track. I like the treatment at 5th and W.Peachtree, but the crossing at Spring won't be great, and 5th and Williams is a mess. Overall it's still a big improvement, especially the eastern blocks of the project.

This setup looks like a disaster to me...the bus passengers will be standing around waiting for the bus in the middle of the two-way bike lane...

The project architects include New York-based Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP and Atlanta-based May Architecture.

The project would include a multi-story parking deck extending to West Peachtree and a central patient drop-off along Linden Avenue with a striking water feature.

The ground-floor of the tower would offer a fitness studio, cafe, pharmacy, gift shop and “radiance boutique.” The cancer center would connect to the existing Emory University Hospital Midtown via a bridge over Linden.

This is such bullshit for them to build ANOTHER parking deck after telling everyone the new 3k spot deck they're building on Spring is to "consolidate all parking in the immediate area so we can focus on building denser projects". Emory is not a good stewardess for the city. Look at the Proton facility they built (after several years of delays) on the busiest, most urban corridor in the city. They love to buy land and under-develop them. The city needs to block this shit.
