The Gwinnett County Convention and Visitors Bureau announced Tuesday that it is pausing the proposed Revel mixed-use development on the campus of the Infinite Energy Center to reevaluate aspects of the project and select a new development partner.

Revel was being developed in partnership with North American Properties, the real estate firm currently overhauling Colony Square, but both sides agreed to part ways as NAP refocuses its efforts on other areas of its business.

The proposed development was slated to be located next to the Infinite Energy Center in Duluth and was set to add 300,000 square feet of retail space, 865,000 square feet of office space and 900 apartments to the 118-acre campus.

"This has been a very difficult decision for NAP; however, our strategic realignment requires we deploy our resources in different ways as we create community with the repositioning of existing mixed-use destinations rather than new ground-up retail development.”

NAP has also exited the High Street project in Dunwoody.

I noticed the project behind Mall of Georgia appears to be moving forward. The construction fence describes an apartment building.

The large apartment building in downtown Sugar Hill is now topped-out. That area is beautiful, at night, during Christmas. I just drove past it on Highway 20, on the way to 400, and didn't actually go to the downtown.

Wow, they really squeezed that hotel in there. I was wondering how that would work.

Last time I drove by, it looked like the framing was almost done.

Dallas-based StreetLights Residential, which has been expanding its apartment development pipeline in metro Atlanta, plans an $82 million project with 295 units at the massive redevelopment.

Paces Properties, the developer of intown trophy mixed-use projects such as Krog Street Market, will develop a $16 million Alamo Drafthouse, a cinema chain that started in the Austin warehouse district.

On Monday, both new projects received approval to receive tax breaks for the next 30 years. The projects will be looped into the existing tax abatement program for the entire Assembly redevelopment. The program was approved in 2016.

“On Monday, both new projects received approval to receive tax breaks for the next 30 years.”

30 years seems like a long time for a tax break/abatement.

The CDC campus on Buford Highway (in Chamblee) announced a new office building to hold 1600 people, all consolidated from leased office space around the metro. Unclear how tall it will be, but the existing office buildings are 8-10 stories. Construction starting in 2021.

Pinewood Atlanta Studios announced plans Thursday to build a creative office center scheduled to open in spring 2022.

The first phase of the project will see the construction of a four-story creative center, designed to house content and technology companies and provide a collaborative space for filmmakers, writers and production teams.

"This is a growth opportunity for us," president and CEO of Pinewood Atlanta Studios Frank Patterson told Atlanta Business Chronicle. "It's delivering on our promise to open up our facilities to the next generation of creators and technologists."

Designed by architectural firm Gensler, the expansion will offer more than 220,000 square feet of space. Patterson said Gensler along with his team spent nearly three years researching with industry partners to create the kinds of production workshops and sound stages they want to build, which will be more functional and better equipped to integrate with technology.

I revisited the area behind Mall of Georgia on Tuesday afternoon. Several projects appear to be underway and an apartment building fronting the road appeared to be topped-out. They also had renderings up, but I couldn't stop to study them. I was just driving around the construction to see the progress and didn't stop to look at it.

I noticed something was under construction near the Gwinnett ballpark. It was easy to see from 20, entering Lawrenceville.

speaking of lawrenceville, i've been helping my inlaws move from there to dacula, and man, i can't believe the level of urbanization going on in downtown lawrenceville. it's like a new city being built up there.

Good! Atlanta needs more strong towns for development to build around in the metro area. Frankly won’t take long to surpass the density of many other downtowns in the metro.

There are several pockets of impressive development around Highway 20 in Gwinnett. Interestingly, there aren't any big impressive developments between the river and 400? Highway 20, south of downtown Sugar Hill, is almost like an off-road adventure, avoiding potholes. Even the recently repaved sections already have potholes. You can see the heavy pumper trucks, trucks hauling grading equipment, and concrete trucks along that stretch of 20. I've also seen trucks loaded with roofing trusses on 20. I heard a recent report that said metro Atlanta is "currently" one of the top three hottest housing markets in the nation, right now. Yes, in this recession!

Atlanta-based Stein Investment Group and luxury apartment company Atlantic Residential are proposing 320 residential units and approximately 5,400 square feet of restaurant/commercial space on 3.4 acres at the corner of American Industrial Way, Chamblee Dunwoody Way and Chamblee Dunwoody Road, according to plans filed with the city.

The project would be constructed on an assemblage of nine properties that now holds a variety of older buildings "that will benefit from redevelopment to be a positive contribution to the changing landscape of Chamblee," the developers told Chamblee planners.

A new condominium development proposed to be built near the East Point MARTA station is “unprecedented” for the city and could be a catalyst for similar developments in the area. But the mayor and City Council are concerned the project does not include affordable housing as they search for ways to control coming gentrification.

Developer James Nolan wants to build a 48-unit condominium project on about one acre at the corner of Martin Street and Norman Berry Avenue. The project would include two buildings with 24 condos in each. A small public green space would be part of the development. The units would sell for up to $285,000, Nolan recently told the City Council. The property at 2676, 2684 and 2688 Martin St. and 1496 Norman Berry Drive currently has vacant, small single-family homes on it. Across the street is a warehouse storage building. The property is adjacent to a townhouse development on Martin Street.

The property is less than a half-mile from the East Point MARTA station, but is included in the city’s Redevelopment Neighborhood that only allows four to eight units per acre. City planners say the project’s proximity to the MARTA station qualifies the proposed project as a “town center area” transit-oriented development under MARTA guidelines. Those guidelines allow for 15 to 75 units per acre.

Mill Creek Residential is starting a 194-unit mid-rise apartment
project in downtown Decatur, another sign multifamily developments in walkable areas near amenities continue to obtain construction financing.

Mill Creek got a $57 million construction loan from Pinnacle Financial Partners Inc., according to Databank Inc., an Atlanta firm that reports real estate transactions.

Mill Creek bought the 2-acre site at 163 Clairemont Avenue in July. It expects to finish the project by fall 2022.

The developer has been planning the 6-story project, which is calls Modera Decatur, for more than a year at the corner of Commerce Drive, near the city’s MARTA station. The site was owned by Pope & Land Real Estate and contained a Bank of America building that is being relocated.

Cooper Carry is the architect.
