The Midtown Alliance just posted their annual update for 2015 and what's ahead for 2016. There is some pretty interesting information here about future development in the midtown area.

Crane is coming down for Alta Midtown

[shivtim]

Re-zoning to mixed-use was applied for today for 640 North Ave NW. Currently it's some abandoned lots, a wrecking yard, and abandoned/underutilized buildings. It would be great if we could get some development in this neglected part of the city.

I don't know that I'd seen this renderings of Azure on the Park:

Also this is an interesting idea for a redevelopment(?) (Idk how serious it is) of 1776 Peachtree in South Buckhead:

TPA Group presents a redevelopment of this iconic building located in the high profile South Buckhead market. 4,500sf endcap restaurant space available with street level patio. Rooftop patio also available with incredible views of Midtown and Buckhead.

I pass azure every day and the high rise portion has surpassed my expectations. Makes me wish they were offering condos.

The 1776 building is overdue for an update. That southern section of Buckhead is evolving rapidly (and nicely, in my opinion).

The kicker, though, could be the three-sided façade, which would form a backdrop for Charlie Loudermilk Park and just might include "an animated marquee style signage band similar to Times Square," officials said.

Some other key aspects of the proposal, according to Holland:
•Rooftop restaurant overlooking the park and Atlanta skyline.
•Fully enclosed atrium separating the hotel and residential towers, offering a voluminous art gallery display.
•Club-level amenities overlooking all three facades at approximately 80 feet above street level.
•All-weather infinity-edge swimming pool with retractable roof and wall.

What’s more, the project would include about 31,000 square feet of street retail, including slots facing the park. No timeline was provided

Image for the lazy. Considering 8-10 story residential of mostly 2-3 bedrooms, apartments or condos tbd, mixed use with 25-30,000 sq. ft of retail. Awaiting financing.

i think it's because those are incredibly poorly designed retail spaces that they are charging above market for; i'm sure there are plenty of businesses that want to move in but can't afford it, and the businesses that can afford it want somewhere better. this is all intentional to ensure that "low end" businesses don't drive down the rents of the apartments. honestly it seems like collusion to me that needs some kind of market correction because i think it's intentionally keeping minority businesses out of midtown.

the reverse is true at a place like avalon in forsyth county, which has had no problem attracting a lot of high-end retail stores, but is overcharging for their apartments to ensure that "the wrong crowd" doesn't become a presence at avalon, thus, the apartments are all empty. the irony is that people that work at avalon can't even afford to live there, yet the apartments are all empty. ultimately to me, this sort of retail/residential collusion seems like a market failure and i don't know why it's never been addressed.

I saw a group of people in business attire walking around the Eviva site today. I'm hoping they weren't just parking.

A few days ago I saw, what looked like, a few guys surveying the Hanover House on 7th st site.

Hope this means something is about to happen for both.

I would imagine 7th and Hanover wasting no time breaking ground. That area is extremely hot right now for where people want to live.

Oh please please let this be true. Though if those projects are under construction at the same time, I'm not sure where the construction guys are going to park. :-)

I actually always see a bunch of construction workers riding Marta on my way to and from work every day.

Hoping for progress on Eviva is sure to bring heartbreak.

So much better that that amateur architect thing--
