Modera, 90 Peachtree Place – Dallas-based Mill Creek Residential is proposing a 29-story development with frontage on 8th Street, Williams Street and Peachtree Place. The proposed tower contains approximately 350 apartments and 12,300 SF of retail space located primarily on 8th Street and a portion of Williams. The committee complimented the project’s street-level approach, which wraps the parking deck with live-work units and retail storefronts. However, the committee also suggested that the retail component could be more successful if located further east on the site in closer proximity to Spring Street, where there is a greater potential for foot-traffic. Mill Creek Residential plans to return to the DRC for a follow-up review.
Broadstone Terraces, 811 Juniper – Alliance Residential is planning an 8-story, 218-unit apartment building on the east side of Juniper between 5th and 6th Street. The development team was mindful of the transition zone in which the property is located, with adjacent medium to high-rise developments on the Juniper Street side such as The Dakota and SkyHouse South and lower density condos and single family homes abutting the rear of the site. The project is in the conceptual design phase and will continue to be developed over the next month with attention given to the architecture of the exterior elevations and the location of entrances to the parking structure and loading/service areas. Alliance Residential will solicit feedback from area residents at upcoming meetings of the Midtown Neighbor’s Association and NPU-E before returning to the DRC for a follow-up presentation.
880 West Peachtree - A 22-story mixed-use development is proposed by Trammel Crow at the current location of Drew, Eckl & Farnham’s law office. The development includes 356 residential units and 10,000 SF of retail along West Peachtree and 8th Street. The project creates an inviting environment at the street level for outdoor dining by incorporating expanded seating areas adjacent to potential restaurant spaces. The project’s west-facing façade has a direct line from sight from the Connector and provides a high-visibility marketing opportunity. While the committee offered general support for the project overall, they requested that the team provide additional details for the west-facing façade, including screening for the parking deck. It was also requested that a plan for landscape elements to soften and screen the service/loading areas along 8th Street be provided.
