The fake weathered look on the sign is lame. Why not just paint the brick fresh and let it weather naturally but lack of maintenance, if that's the look you're going for? Can't wait for the marketing speak on this "authentic" development.
This faux warehouse look is already getting a little old. Developers seem to be over-using it in many places, even when it’s not particularly appropriate.
On this site, at least it seems fitting given the sites history, but the quality and originality in this development seems to be a victim of cost cutting…again.
Can’t we incentivize good design? I know developers love to win LEEDS awards and have the plaques posted on their buildings. Why can’t we offer “Good Design” awards that may even come with a monetary benefit in some way.
That picture says it all: The ATL has arrived.
A decade ago, this same view would leave many of us wanting. Now it appears full and mature with more on the horizon.
Also, Atlantic Station is undergoing a full-throttled redevelopment wave of its own.
I hope the ALMI apartment building and the Embassy Suites hotel start construction soon, which will leave just 2 holes along 17th street undeveloped.
I the next five years or so, Atlanta's urban core will feel more like other urban cities due to the prolific development from West Midtown to Atlantic Station,
from Midtown to downton, and from Old Fourth Ward to Memorial Drive.
I'm imbracing Terminus' slogan more and more: "We're getting there". or something like that.
I've been thinking that so many neighborhoods in the city are "upgrading", some by small increments and some of them dramatically. All together they will ultimately make for a much better city.
I’ve been going on some longer runs on the weekends in different areas of the city and the transformation of the city is stunning. Even in just the past 5 years the change is incredible. Midtown, west Midtown, Memorial Drive and O4W are probably most dramatic in terms of their changes. But it goes beyond the built environment. When you go out (West Egg Cafe this past weekend, for instance), the city feels much more diverse than when I first moved here 19 years ago when the diversity was basically just black/white. It’s much more mixed with many more Hispanics and Asians than even 6 or 7 yrs ago.
Friends who were last in town in 2011 were here back in December and they’re stunned at the changes and how much more complete the city feels.
On Atlantic Station's website it says, "Three new hotels and a 300-unit apartment building." There's the Embassy Suites, but what are the other two new hotels planned?

A hotel developer just bought the site between Twelve and BB&T tower last year. Hotel developer buys long-vacant hole in Atlantic Station
I haven't seen anything about it but I would assume a hotel also is planned on the last remaining parcel on 17th street.

I saw that on Chris's twitter feed this morning. It appears they are doing away with that hideous looking canopy they were going to put over the park. Mature trees will do a much better job of shielding the sun.
In the next four to six weeks, an Embassy Suites by Hilton should kick off at the Midtown mixed-use project.
Atlanta Business Chronicle obtained new renderings of the project planned at the corner of 17th and State streets. It will sit across the street from the Twelve Midtown Autograph Collection hotel.
