Atlanta Project & Construction List

[atlwarrior]

Does anyone know what's the status with the Walgreen construction near the coke sign across from Woodruff park. It was moving along at a good pace, but seem to have stalled lately. Are they letting the old building air out?

Nice picture of CYAN BUT, there are two car models that are not known to me; one very short with only a rear; and one 6 door mixed white sedan convertible. Where can I get one?

Ha! I didn't even notice them.

There is a project that started permit process, haven't heard of before. It is called Memorial Hill and it looks to be proposed next to the Leonard at intersection of Memorial and Hill.

Also if anybody has been curious of the strong paint smell around Viewpoint area of Midtown since last week it is because Skyhouse South is adding sealant to the top level of the parking deck due to issue with cars getting damaged on the lower levels when it rains.

It's Grant Park's version of Krog Street Market by Paces Properties except this one is planned to have a music venue, office space, and a green space.

I have to admit, I too would love to see something get built outside of this 20-25 story rectangular residential mold. Especially south of 10th street. Everything in that's getting built in that area is going to be practically the same height.

In the great words of a wiseman:

Developing a high rise is a long process. The towers under construction now have been in the pipeline for years.

Patience please smArTaLlone!

That is different.

Memorial Hill permit is at 281 Memorial Dr. SE which based off devmap is next to the Leonard apartment development. Also looks to be across the street from Daddy Z's BBQ

Dairy Farms project is 777 Memorial Dr. SE. Though Dairy Farms did file for demo permit today so that is making progress already.

Ooops! I typed 821 instead of 281. Ironically, the Atlanta Dairies project filed LD permits for the apartments today as well.

Nowhere in my comments am I demanding a development happen right now or any time frame. This statement was only expressing a desire to see a greater variety of buildings going up in Midtown.

Bullcrap - You were stating the same thing as I was about The Related Group - PROGRESS. You my friend are a hypocrite.

You call me, "naive" and said, "Developing a high rise is a Long process. The towers under construction now have been in the pipeline for years." when I questioned The Related Group for taking 1 year to start the zoning process.

However, in your post you questioned the developers of 98 Fourteenth Street for not giving an update on their development. You stated, "The project has gone completely quiet since the big announcement last year."

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't 98 Fourteenth Street a substantially larger project than 22 Fourteenth Street? Why is it OK for you to question why the developer was not providing an update on that project, but when I question why The Related Group is taking so long - you call me out (school me)?

[smArTaLlone]

All I will say is that someone asked a question which I answered.

Beyond that

Why didn't you respond to atlwarrior this way:

Instead, you agreed with him in the same context as I did concerning The Related Group. You also agreed with him concerning too many "rectangular residential molds." Again you even disagreed with me for saying 22 Fourteenth Street is another rectangular glass box outside of it's base. When the reality is: 22 Fourteenth Street is 100% a glass rectangle above it's retail base, much like most of the other developments in Midtown.

Now I am done.

An architect neighbor of mine is working on the design for the lobby of a condo building at 98 14th St. that he indicated will be about 40 stories. I didn't get more details and didn't want to pry, but at least this indicates that the project is still alive at the design stage.

This could be an interesting development. The City has been quietly buying up land between MLK and Memorial Dr from the connector all the way to Oakland Cemetery. The idea was to create a linear park that could eventually tie into a cap of the connector for a plaza East of the Capital building. The big plaza will probably never happen, especially now that the State has built the disappointing Liberty Plaza. But the linear park could still come to fruition.

Consider that the King Station MARTA TOD is in this same area, the Leonard, the State Court Building will replace the empty old Archives building, and this area starts to look intriguing.

I meant to ask, were there any details about the height of the Related group tower at the Buckhead MARTA station?

Exactly.

Add to the list the old Habitat for Humanity property that is being redeveloped and the Atlanta Dairies project and this stretch of Memorial will be well beyond the tipping point where it becomes "hot". Its similar to the way Marietta street revitalized little by little.

By the way, the city has put a 6 month moratorium on new building permits for the corridor to allow for overlay zoning to be approved.

I believe I read 27 stories somewhere.

Edit: I might be thinking of another project. I haven't seen the height in any of the articles.

I reached out to John Schaffner at BuckheadView and Liveable Buckhead on Twitter last week. (See below) I will follow up again.

Crescent Howell Mill appears to be completed.
