While I may have missed this in an earlier post, this popped up on the Business Chronicle yesterday. A new, 5-story office building by Piedmont Hospital in the front lawn of The Darlington Apartments. The construction fencing is already up and site work appears to have has started.
An approximately 500-bed student-housing proposal backed by a trio that includes former NASA engineer Lonnie Johnson is on the agendas of two neighborhood planning units this week. Slated for 263 Decatur St. SE in the Sweet Auburn neighborhood, the project entails about 250,000 square feet of residential development and is backed by Johnson, Sophy Capital Managing Partner Michael Green, and real estate executive Bruce Fernald, planning documents show.
Plans call for the student housing project to rise on the eastern half of the roughly four-acre project site, requiring that portion to be rezoned from industrial to high-density mixed-use. That side of the site fronts Hill Street and currently holds a 79,300-square-foot warehouse that would make way for the mixed-use development, which would also include 24,000 square feet of street-level retail and a 460-space parking deck.
Great, this place is an utter eyesore and embarrassment, so much potential here..Do not put apartments here, that would shut everyone out who does not live there. Restaurants, maybe a boutique Hotel>>>
I’m loving all the greenery, especially the trees blocking out the view of the interstate from Williams St. I wish they would plant trees along Williams St. right now. No need to wait

Edit: And I'm not sure if they've ever built towers before. There aren't any on their website.
From their employee website it looks like they cloned a 40 year old white dude 15 times to run the company, and then threw in two white female admin assistants.
Einstein's had been going downhill for years and has been basically dead since the pandemic. Joe's is just meh as the service is subpar. Then you have that old, vacant building in between, which looks miserable.
Here is the Einstiens' proposal on the Midtown DRC agenda. 150 units in a 32-story tower sounds like condos.
Middle Street Partners proposes a new mixed-use two-tower project along the east side
of Juniper St. between 11th St. and 12th St. It is proposed to include 320 units in 40-story
phase one tower and 150 units in a 32-story phase two building including a six-story 694
space parking podium. At grade there are ground floor retail uses at each intersection
along with two centralized leasing offices. Pedestrian access will be provided directly
from the adjacent sidewalks while vehicular access is proposed via one full curbcut
along each of the three street frontages
