Well, in Atlanta, any project that proposes mixed-uses within a single building footprint, usually gets axed.
We may end up with the offices OR the residential, but probably not both.
It seems that every project that has been proposed with mixed uses within the same single structure, has fallen through or had one of the components dropped.
Remember the projects with mixed uses that didn't move forward at all or not as proposed...
- Stalled Selig 50+ story mixed Use project on Peachtree (Office/Hotel/Residential)
- 1230 West Peachtree - (Office/Residential - deleted office portion)
- Stalled Opus - (although that may never have moved forward anyway)
The only mixed use projects that have moved forward have been projects with the Office/Residential/Hotel components planned in separate structures.
- Midtown Union (3 buildings)
- 1105 W. Peachtree (3 Buildings)
- Novel on 14th St. (2 Buildings)
- The Ascent Apts. & Canopy Hotel (2 Buildings)
The deal killer here seems to be the stacking of uses on top of each other - which give the projects their impressive height.
So...the Mid-Town Zoning regulations either restrict this possibility or make it devastatingly complicated.
It’s past time for a Midtown Zoning Ordinance RE-WRITE!
