Is it me or has Buckhead been lagging behind Midtown and Downtown the past several years? I remember a decade or so ago all the focus was on Buckhead!
Downtown only has a handful of building under construction or proposed.
But, Midtown is kicking Buckhead's ass. You literally can't walk two blocks in any direction without passing a construction site.

More than downtown but a lot less than Midtown. I was at Phipps recently and the Nobu hotel project seems interesting. They also need to make a pedestrian bridge over Lenox/Peachtree Road so it would be easier to go from Phipps to Lenox and vice-versa.
I most definitely agree on the pedestrian bridge over lenox/peachtree. I've been visualizing that for a while now. Something similar to the pedestrian bridges in vegas.
In the heart of Buckhead is a retail district that has been fraught with difficulties since it debuted nearly a decade ago in 2011. Until recently known as “The Shops Buckhead Atlanta,” the 9 acre mixed-use development has gone by a number of names throughout the years. As the new owners, Jamestown Properties last week made their first significant change to the development with a new name and a slick rebranding.
Bronfman’s BBA address mentioned some more sweeping changes as well, such as a return to more family-friendly and accessible retail with certain high-end shops set to depart when their leases expire. Jamestown has not revealed which retailers will be bidding the District adieu as of yet, but did indicate that they intend to “reimagine the property so visitors look at the Village as a place to go and spend the day” according to Jamestown President Michael Phillips. This likely includes more affordable retail, a coffee shop, and a bookstore, among other new shops.
“All of the property enhancements were designed to create an accessible shopping and dining destination for families built around a modern Southern lifestyle,” said Phillips. “The new Center Plaza and The Veranda offer comfortable places to relax outdoors.”
This summer the District will be hosting a number of socially-distant events, such as coffee pop-ups and outdoor sidewalk shop and strolls. New retail is coming as well; Kimberly McDonald will be opening their second boutique on Bolling Way in August.

I thought that this one was already under construction?
It is!! That’s the post above from July 10 showing site excavation. I was under the impression that the hotel component was removed but, hey, I guess we will find out in time.

Are you sure? The Big Ketch is still operating, and this was due to replace that entire shopping center. You aren't thinking of the big Camden development? That is across the street from the Dream development site.

That would be awesome, if true. It's not listed under the "under construction" category in the "Atlanta Project & Construction Compilation" sub-forum though.
