Dear god I hope not.

If you're referring to Novare's towers on the other side I guess that wouldn't be so bad.

This city just has so much more potential and I hope for a lot more out of it than what is around this arch.

Oh sure, that statement was definitely rhetorical and open-ended. I admit readily that there are examples of these types of mid-rise developments that are worse rather than better...I mean, on our end, not all of New York's old housing is as beautiful and worthy of being preserved as that of Soho, the Village, etc. (or they've already been so bastardized by renovations or just left to deteriorate that there's nothing to save anymore). Atlanta entertains me because while we know the outcome of New York City's old townhomes and tenements, the result of these mid-rise blocks remain to be seen. I wonder how they will age? As someone else said a few posts back, I think the gate will outlast the buildings around it, unless they age much better than many of us expect.

And yeah I think the proliferation of glass-curtain-wall-and-balcony towers in Downtown, Midtown and Buckhead will certainly serve to define the cityscape and give it a recognizable image that is distinctly "Atlanta" as time goes on. I don't think that'd be the worst thing.

I love how the music played in this clip is a big ripoff of the theme music from "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves." That was mildly amusing to hear....lol

Some nice comments from StatenIslander237.
Years ago, when we lived in Antwerp we would go to Brussels and admire the unified and glorious architecture of the "Grand Place". Having good friends who were architects in Antwerp they pointed out that in fact the so-called unified look was in actually built over a considerable period of time, several centuries, and represented several distinctive types of architecture and that pieces were often criticized for being unattractive and not fitting in. The point is that sometimes it is the clash of types of buildings and mixture of forms that ultimately make a place interesting.

It will have the same affect as a giant parking deck creating another dead block. So sad since so much energy and revitalization is pouring into Edgewood.

I think they're raising the crane for the 10th street Ga. Tech project.

They are also installing the base of the crane for the 131 Ponce De Leon apartments today.

Not housing unfortunately, but a really awesome looking Biosystems building. http://oxblue.com/open/mccarthy/ebb

There was a rumor that they were looking to add student housing off North. And theres a few possible private student housing projects in the works.
