Trammell Crow affiliate aims to redevelop languishing Midtown site

An affiliate of Dallas-based Trammell Crow Co., a subsidiary of CBRE Group Inc., has an agreement to buy the 4-acre site at 98 14th Street, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the deal. The property, known for the failed “Opus Place” development, was foreclosed upon last year.

High Street Residential, a division of Trammell Crow, may pursue a multifamily project, one of the sources said.

Praying it isn't another cheap looking Alexan building

According to the article, it appears it will be several smaller buildings instead of one big one.

Reputable company... but judging by their portfolio it's not likely we will get anything of significant height (IMO). I would loved to be surprised.

That's what I thought until I dug through Trammell Crow's portfolio. They've built some tall projects in Texas that I wouldn't mind seeing in Atlanta. You can look up these examples:
Parkside Residences (Houston) - 43 floors
Northshore Tower (Austin) - 38 floors
Austin Proper Hotel & Residences (Austin) - 32 floors
Indeed Tower (Austin) - 36 floors
601 West 2nd Street (Austin) - 35 floors

The last one (601 W. 2nd St) houses Google's offices and its sail shape looks like a shorter version of Dubai's Burj Al Arab. A similar design might be too much for us to hope for in this case, but Trammel Crow has done some great things.

The tallest one Parkside Residences, is unhinged at street level. That wouldn't be allowed here due to city ordinances and Midtown Alliance, but wild that Houston let a big new residential building in the heart of the city fail to address the street like that, especially right along the light rail line. It's giving 1970s downtown Atlanta.

Quite a few towers that are residential and currently under construction in midtown are in the 30-38 stories range and is within the midtown table top. If we get towers in that range they will not be of significant height (which I would define as 600ft+).

Alexan is built by Trammell Crow Residential, not Trammell Crow Company. They're different companies but both came from the same parent company decades ago. This site is rumored to be purchased the later, not the former. So expect a different product. TCC is building science square with GaTech.

So can we open the closed Opus thread now? I'll run by and check to see how well they are maintaining the pool. You can always tell a companies's intent by how well they upkeep the pool.
