My guess is that Home Depot is going to announce that they're moving to the CoA. This is based on two things:
1. They've been having a hard time hiring for 1,000 tech jobs they need to fill: https://www.myajc.com/business/home-...e8rVvAYI5BBuO/
2. The potential of Amazon coming to Atlanta, which I'm sure every C-level at any Fortune 500 in Atlanta already know the decision, have put pressure on HD to move to the city to remain competitive for recruiting talent - which they're struggling to do now

I think HD fits the "shocking" announcement qualifications that Atlanta3000 has been hinting at.

Either way, I'm very pumped for Tuesday!

That would put me to sleep, next!

I didn’t think so, based on your comments. I think I have enough TP to cover this one.

I have to be in the right place mentally to commit to a 9 min video. But do you know when that $3 cafe project is gonna launch?

Atlanta3000 · #**9167** Posted **Jul 29, 2018, 6:32 PM**

Something else really weird is going on. 1105 West Peachtree was taken off Loopnet. It has been like this the last two days

This means the project is dead or someone has lease the whole building.

Not sure, but I have people checking. So a great location to sit there this long.

The Georgia Ave/Summerhill development looks great.

Pullman Yards... I just cannot get excited for that much surface parking even with the solar and urban garden components.

1105 is interesting news. Someone reported recently it seemed like more activity on site, so I wouldn’t think this one is dead. Selig has been reliable over the years, so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. With Cousins itching to break ground, they may have locked down some tenants.

I’m hoping the mixed use by gattrell and Daniels streets (near Edgewood Ave a handful of blocks west of the beltline) starts to get some teeth. The more infill around there the better, will help support the new retail along that portion of the BL (as well as all the great existing retail nearby!), and continue the pattern of more residences moving closer to downtown. In the not so distant future we could have thousands more residences that live within a quick jaunt of downtown.

I don’t think I realized Ashley gables buckhead was under construction, yet alone almost finished. Wow.

tdawg · #**9173** Posted **Jul 29, 2018, 7:46 PM**

Am I the only one that thinks that the Pullman Yards renderings look a bit chintzy? While I'm excited the site is being preserved, it looks more like the Chattanooga Choo-Choo museum than a functioning live/work/play environment.

Summerhill has its share and you applauded the project. I am you going to need you to be consistent SA!

Last time I spoke with someone close to the project he said the plan was still for Selig to move into the building. I don't know how much they'll take up, but maybe the rest of the building has been leased up as well.

Pullman Yards was bought by Atomic Entertainment which includes a team of 6 movie produces and their goal is to make part of it an Entertainment District. As far as I am concerned, it sure as hell beats another damn food hall.

How many people does Selig employ? LinkedIn says 50-200, but I’ve never seen a job posting for them. They’re someone I’d actually be curious about open positions.

Any idea what’s going to be the actual use of the restored buildings?

My issue with that rendering flythrough is the construction quality looks designed by the same guy that designs Chick-fil-A’s across the southeast, the surface parking in the middle kills pedestrian interaction to the restored buildings (nobody NEEDS to park right in front of it!), and there’s a weird distance between where people live and accessing the restored buildings. I guess I’m presuming the restored buildings will have some sort of retail function that I’m expecting better interactions to be provided. The whole “integration” section was cringeworthy from an urban planning perspective.

I do enjoy the community gardens, retention pond, new water feature, creative class and senior living aspects, some retail (although those cafes and whatever else reminded me of a fast food strip mall), and how there are residences closer toward the trolley line trail and Kirkwood commercial district. The location of the project is awkward for me, although I know we cannot choose where our historic structures lie, it’s just strange we always have so much development go in on the east side of town where there’s limited access to transit. This is smack in the middle of two MARTA stations, not particularly walkable to either.

Summerhill parking is generally in the middle of the block and wrapped with buildings that engage the pedestrian experience throughout. It’s a much better design and function compared with Pullman Yards, where whichever direction you come from there’s a sea of parking in the way:

Good guesses by everyone, but I can guarantee it is not one of these companies. Again you will be shocked what has gone on behind the scenes to get to this point for something many thought was unimaginable in Atlanta or Georgia. What is being announced is in the CoA and that is all I will say before the story breaks.

BTW, 3002 Peachtree Road: Look at the cute widdle store. That's a waste of real estate... for now.
