Wow! That second rendering is a spactacular one!

It will be in an awesome location! Right to the current southern tip of the Midtown skyline.

Also, great to see that there site prep is in progress and something is going on. This one will be just one step behind Viewpoint.

This building is what I like to see going up in cities like Atlanta. So many great small and extra large projects but a dearth those in the middle. Great design too.

That model puts a new spin on the building, and makes it look much better than the original rendering. I think it's gonna be a great addition to the Midtown skyline especailly considering the amount of groung level retail, and how it interacts with the street.

Yea doesnt it look like it follows the flow of the street when looking southbound towards midtown, like in the second rendering on this page. It fills in the area perfectly, nice...

[Lecom]

I like how the base is done. Street level is very pedestrian-friendly, and that podium garden/pool is great too. I wouldn't mind living in that building (besides, I would probably be guaranteed a balcony in any apartment).

What is that 8 to 10 story whitish structure just at the top of the white crane, along 14th street? Is that a parking deck? If so, it is public or is it associated with any of the nearby towers?

It's the parking deck for the Proscenium building - I believe it's private, but they may open up spots at night for all those restaurants on Cresent. I agree that it is underutilized, but there are also like 3 surface lots on that side of 14th street to the West of there that are ripe for development; I think we'll see these used up before anyone starts demolishing parking decks.

Yeah, that parking deck does sort of kill a big stretch of what is othewise a pretty cool restaurant row on that street.

I guess that got in before the city required retail to wrap around parking decks.

Somebody raises this same question with almost every building. Like most structures of this type, the first floors of 1010 Peachtree are complex, and involve a combination of sections with varying uses, dimensions and ceiling heights. It takes time to lay out, form and pour. Trust me, if the contractor could go much faster, he would.

[DeliaC]

I'm sure this has been posted elsewhere, but can someone clarify what is supposed to happen to the east of 1010? On the parcel where Jock's and Jills and what used to be Club Riviera are? Is it slated for development anytime soon?

Directly east of 1010 (where Club 112 and a big parking lot currently sit) will be the next phase of the 12th and Midtown development - a 40-story, 750,000 sq ft office building and another 40-story building with a hotel and condos. The lot north of that one (between 12th and 13th) will be the third phase, and will be another office building and a boutique, 5-star hotel.

The lot south of Club 112 on the east side of Peachtree, where Jock's and Jill's is right now, is owned by Dewberry, which has said that nothing will be built there until the market is right for it. Don't really know when that will be...

Great pictures Joe, I didn't know they were already on the fifth floor, I need to get out more. I think the reason this building and others across Atlanta are rising so rapidly is because of increased morale throughout the city.

1010 WELL UNDERWAY

[gttx]

I don't know if anyone has peeked in, but that retail/restaurant space along Peachtree is HUGE. This project will be very nice at street level.

[RobMidtowner]

I think the fact that this project and Viewpoint are coming up at about the same time and are both offering this type of retail space is huge in attracting major retailers to the midtown mile. Hopefully this momentum will continue all along Peachtree because I'm ready to see some high-end retail that's nowhere else in the southeast. :tup:

[whiplash3825]

:previous: If I was the developer I'd pay my own money if necessary to have those power lines buried. I can see eating in that corner restaurant space and having to look through all those lines!

You'd think the city would make it a requirement for developers to bury powerlines on their lots.

[mayhem]

They buried the lines at Plaza Midtown. Since those lines cross Peachtree, I wouldn't think that Daniel would tear up Peachtree to bury those lines. That's the cities job and is planned as part of the street car improvements.

[mayhem]

I hope you mean the streetscape improvements... there aren't any plans for a street car on that segment of Peachtree and that'd take too long anyway.

The streetscape improvements have already been completed. Rob already posted the link, the street car extends all the way to Buckhead. The plan is for them to bury ALL power lines on Peachtree and add overhead lines for the street car itself.


If those lines didn't cross Peachtree, I am sure Daniel would have buried them.

[Terminus]

You'd think the city would make it a requirement for developers to bury powerlines on their lots.

It's encouraged, but not required.

Utility burial is extremely expensive and would have killed several deals I've worked on if it had been mandated. The cost is not the burial on the site per se, but also the issue that you can't just bury them for one site and you must get approval from all groups that use the lines, not just Georgia Power. When you bury, all buildings that use the lines must also be completely required to current electrical code. So if developer "A" decides to bury then, and small business owner "B" across the street has to go to an underground feed, owner "B" must spend thousands to rewire his or her buildings. You can see the problem. This is why their are still lines on Auburn Avenue - there was money before the games but the building owners fought burial because of the cost to them of re-wiring.

In my opinion, most developers will pay to bury if it's easy, because it improves their projects, but the burden really should be on the public, Georgia Power, other utilities to pay. I, for one, would be willing to pay a surcharge on my bill if it meant utilities would be buried.

Lastly, regarding streetscapes, it is illegal under US law to use Federal streetscape funds (Q-23, CMAQ, TE, etc.) to bury power lines. All power line burial funds must be funded by local governments.

[Terminus]

They buried the lines at Plaza Midtown. Since those lines cross Peachtree, I wouldn't think that Daniel would tear up Peachtree to bury those lines. That's the cities job and is planned as part of the street car improvements.

The governor line item vetoed $40 million for the streetcar/streetscape from the budget this week.

[whiplash3825]

Are we ever going to get a governor and legislature that treats Atlanta like the state economic engine it is rather than some poor stepchild? Sonny had no problem allocating millions to attract the NASCAR H.O.F, or to try to lure fisherman to the state! Obviously the redneck agenda is the only one worth pursuing. I really hate him!

Right, Atlanta is an economic engine but a streetcar in Atlanta won't do jack for economics of the state, won't even do anything much for Atlanta. I don't care one way or the other if it's built, it won't make a difference either way if it is or isn't built to the scheme of things. It might have a better chance at funding if it was a GRTA project but it has such a limited scope of impact, even that it doubtful.

[smArTaLlone]

Limited scope of impact?

Peachtree it the "main street" for the entire metro as shown by the task force studies.

I think it would have a much greater impact than the $90 million being spent to promote fishing in the state.


20% of all Metro Atlanta adults visit Peachtree Street area at
least once a week (half of those are visiting daily) – overall
math suggests over one million adults are visiting the area at
least once a month

50% of those adults say they move up and down the corridor
visiting several locations when they visit

Good, then institute a TID to pay for it if it will benefit the property owners along Peachtree so much, simple solution. That along with ridership and it may only require 90% subsidy to keep it operating.

That's a little bit extreme, don't you think? The governor of a large state has many responsibilities to many different people -- and faces an impossible array of priorities to balance. Every day, he has to make difficult choices that will inevitably displease many people no matter what he decides. If you ever have the joy of stretching a finite budget to meet a payroll of your own, or even balancing the budget of an average sized family, you might become a little more understanding of how difficult it must be to govern this vast state and its 9+ milliion people.

It seems to be the attitude of some forumers that Georgians who live outside metro Atlanta are insignificant rubes who resent, neglect and take Atlanta for granted. A more extreme element appears to hold a similar view of suburban Atlantans. I would caution that we not fall into the trap of being every bit as provincial as we believe others to be.

Btw the $40 million was for streetscape improvements that are a part of the Peachtree corridor plan NOT the streetcar itself.

A Peachtree as envisioned by this plan would easily attract more tourist dollars to the state than fishermen traveling to every stream or lake in GA.

Yes balancing a budget can be a difficult thing, but can you think of anything major in recent memory our governor has done to benefit Atlanta or even metro Atlanta?? Something where you can look back and say "Wow, our governor really helped us out and did a good job with that." :shrug:

Government inaction like this is an unfavorable trend for those people footing the majority of the tax bill and seeing it spent on the rest of the state.

[Andrea]

It seems to be the attitude of some forumers that Georgians who live outside metro Atlanta are insignificant rubes who resent, neglect and take Atlanta for granted.

I've never heard anyone suggest that people who live outside metro Atlanta are insignificant rubes, but state government does have a very long history of giving Atlanta short shrift. $40 million represents maybe .002 of what the state spends each year.

[atlantaguy]

Sonny Bubba can kiss my bass!

Sorry, MarketsWork - and everyone else, but I honestly believe that Sonny is the actual rube here. He has done absolutely nothing to impress me in the least, and I honestly think he makes the State look backwards to the rest of the world. The last straw was when he suggested we learn "time management skills" to negate the need for Sunday beer & wines sales/liquor by the drink. Even when polls show 70%+ of the voters in the Metro area and the retailers are in support of changing the law, he claims he will probably veto it if it passes?

Sorry, but this fool (yes, fool) from Middle Georgia hasn't lifted a single finger to do anything for Metro Atlanta since taking office. He is beholden to the Christian Coalition of Georgia and the massive paving industry, was willing to call a special session of the Legislature to ban the oh so threatening spector of gay marriage if our Supreme Court didn't rule the way he wanted them to, did not lift one finger to stop the closing of the Ford or GM plants, etc.

Roy Barnes was a visionary. Cathy Cox would have been one too. This idiot is regressive, and it saddens me at what is happening to this beautiful place.

Georgia used to be considered the most progressive State in the Southeast (yes, including Florida). This man, in my opinion, is largely responsible for turning the clock back about two decades.

[atlantaguy]

BTW, so sorry for posting this here in the 1010 thread, when it really belongs in the Atlanta Discussion area of the Souther forum........but the subject came up here, not there.

[whiplash3825]

:previous: Look... I grew up in rural Georgia, and at least most people in the county I grew up in (middle Ga.) thought of Atlanta as the state's version of Sodom and it's inhabitants as godless money-grubbers. There's very little awareness there how much Atlanta contributes to the state, and it's pretty much an adversarial relationship. Most Republicans are very "wedded" to the suburbs and rural areas of Ga, and are usually complaining about the unfair amount of resources Atlanta gets compared to the rest of the state.

If traffic grinds to a halt people stop moving here, and people already here move away, and the economic engine grinds to a halt, and we end up being another Alabama. Like I said, finding money for the HOF and attracting fisherman pretty much shows where Sonny's allegiances lie. The Republicans don't like the Democratic government of Atlanta and Fulton Co., and will cut off their noses to spite their face by not doing a thing to help Atlanta. If you don't believe that, you haven't lived here long enough to know how Ga. politics works.

The Republicans don't like the Democratic government of Atlanta and Fulton Co., and will cut off their noses to spite their face by not doing a thing to help Atlanta. If you don't believe that, you haven't lived here long enough to know how Ga. politics works.

That sucks. Atlanta pretty much drives Georgia, and without it, you would just be another Alabama. I hope the politicians over there open their damn eyes.

Anyway, back to 1010...

Phase IV of 12 & Midtown was just announced in the ABC! It's the block just west of 1010, and it's a huge block. Phase II is set to start next month. I am going mental, this area of town is gonna be off the chain!

I couldn't read the article cause I am not a paid subr, oh well, I am sure another source will carry it soon.

There's not much there since phase IV is in the design stages but it will be residential and include up to 80,000 sf of retail.

It does however say that they'll announce office, hotel, and retail tenants in the next few months. I know we'll all be interested when that happens.

Yes, Yes we will...

Actually, I think we might be closer to being another Mississippi...

:previous: Look... I grew up in rural Georgia, and at least most people in the county I grew up in (middle Ga.) thought of Atlanta as the state's version of Sodom and it's inhabitants as godless money-grubbers. There's very little awareness there how much Atlanta contributes to the state, and it's pretty much an adversarial relationship. Most Republicans are very "wedded" to the suburbs and rural areas of Ga, and are usually complaining about the unfair amount of resources Atlanta gets compared to the rest of the state.

Its not that cut and dry. Democrats have plenty of blood on their hands too. But this isn't about politics. Its about 1010 Peachtree.

Somebody with ABC access needs to post the report about Phase IV of 12th & Midtown. I'm very curious to hear more details.
