Midtown Union
The first was a follow-up presentation on JLL’s mixed-use development, Midtown Union. This project is located on a 3.8 acre site at 17th and Spring Street and includes approximately 604,960 SF of office use, a 255-key hotel, 354 residential units and 99,453 SF of retail use (including grocer and food hall). The podium parking deck contains approximately 1,782 spaces and supports on-site uses including public parking for retail users. A part from the bold design of the office tower, the signature feature of the project is a new street extension of Arts Center Way which provides the focal point for activity emanating from the retail and restaurant experience on the ground floors. The DRC has been generally supportive of the project, recognizing the significant impact it will have on the character of the district around the Woodruff Arts Center. However, at the April meeting, the committee requested more detail about the street level experience and the façade treatments. The design team from Cooper Carry provided additional information related to enhancements on the elevation that faces 17th Street, but conceded that specifics about the parking deck façades and retail façade treatments are still being refined as future tenants are identified. Thus, the committee recommended support for the site plan and related variations but withheld full support until additional information could be provided about the architecture.
