All I really want for phase 2 is to have retail adjacent to Ponce. We really need to improve the pedestrian experience in this area along the street.

I think Green's is a separate property (with plans to renovate/expand), so I don't know how feasible that is. Maybe they could rework the driveway entrance and get a small bit of frontage?

I was hoping they'd buy the parking to the east of Ford Factory. You're right that New City owns only a sliver to the west of Greens. I'd okay with it if Green's sold out here with the caveat they'd be included in the new development. I don't see them wanting to rent retail space though, considering they own the existing property.

I had heard several years ago from people working at Jamestown that the original plan was to purchase Green's but Green's was asking for some ungodly figure and wouldn't budge.

I had also heard that an agreement was worked out with Ford Factory owners that would gut the apartments and turn it into luxury lofts. Haven't heard anything on this in a while, wonder if it all went up in smoke or if its still in play.

Anyone have any color on these rumors?

Downtown Hyatt Place making progress.

I like its placement on the lot and relationship to the aquarium. I'm surprised that whole block north (NW) of it hasn't been developed nicely by now. I suspect it's coming before too long though. I'm also surprised that we haven't heard anything about the Times Sq South project on Marietta.

Actually all of those buildings North are under contract.

Is that a construction fence around far North block?

AtlHeel · #**833** Posted **Sep 4, 2018, 2:14 PM**

I noticed that fencing - it looked like it was a staging area for the nearby work.

Possibly. Although it's been like that for 3 or 4 years now.

There is a construction trailer on that site which appears to be for the Hyatt place hotel. Also the Aquarium has already started work on its expansion.

Trees going in along the Beltline.

I know the Cornerstone Medical Office is pretty much dead. I spoke with the guys that work at the liquor store where it would have been built and they said that it was a total mess and they didn't expect to be vacating anytime soon.

Downtowners have spotted people in hard hats doing stuff in the long-abandoned Medical Arts Building! Looks like the renovation that was promised a year and a half ago is finally underway.
