Ha! I really like this development, overall. It fits in really nicely with westside.

They just keep pushing it back. It was supposed to start a few years ago.

Maybe they see no need with so much disruption going on right now. Once the area is more built out, they may start.

Atlanta's latest public art piece, "From the Ground Up," a thought-provoking, six-story mural, was unveiled today in West Midtown. Featured on 8West, "From the Ground Up," designed by internationally renowned artist, Craig Alan, depicts a phoenix rising out of the ashes to reflect Atlanta's historical relationship with the mythological representation of new life and honor the community's rich, artistic authenticity.

Mirroring Atlanta from the Ashes, a depiction of the city's rise from the ashes of the Civil War to become a world city, "From the Ground Up" embodies Atlanta's rebuilding amidst the nation's current civil unrest and its fight to unite against the coronavirus pandemic. The piece is also further revolutionizing and showcasing West Midtown's vibrant, multicultural scene. Seen as one of Atlanta's boldest neighborhoods, the district celebrates the innovative and industrial charms where railroad and manufacturing interests once thrived.

A total of nine restaurants have been announced in and around the food hall, set to open in the fall. For some of these restaurants, like Tana Bhamaraniyama’s Thai eatery TydeTate or Lebanese barbecue food truck Babakabab, this will be the first time their food and their story will be served out of a brick-and-mortar establishment.

For other, more established restaurants, this is an opportunity to expand. Such is the case for the likes of chef Marcus Waller’s Breakfast Graffiti. Similarly, the team behind the Mexican restaurant Zocalo is opening Taqueria La Luz, which will serve Mexican street food. Unbelibubble Tea House and Morelli’s Gourmet Ice Cream will also open their own stalls in the food hall alongside Montwaid’s own prosecco bar.

A land development permit has been issued for infrastructure only so we may see some activity on this project. Phase 1 of the development is still in permitting.

During last months NPU meeting, it was mentioned that CSX has two bidders working on packages for the purchase of Tilford yard. Very interested in who they are...

We’ll see if the neighborhood, MARTA, and Atlanta city council Dustin Hillis got any teeth regarding Tilford Yard. They had alternatives for MARTA and trails in the area, but obviously will be contingent on who the property is sold to.

Solis Interlock will be ready for move-ins in October.

Imma need the city of Atlanta to buy out that low rise building in the foreground and turn it into a pocket park with trees and a nice fountain and call the area Howell Square. Thank you.

I was on 17th St NW recently and the developments on Howell Mill look massive. Plenty of room for infill, though! Also reaffirmed that fuqua project along 17th is a travesty and likely is positioned as having the best views in the city. Tragic.
