This is one thing ATL3K mentioned that is in fact now being confirmed by the media...

Poll: Legislation brews, marketing has launched, but do GA casinos have a chance?

"...Rick Lackey, the founder of City Commercial Real Estate, is working on behalf of landowners like the City of College Park, which owns the 300-acre “Airport City” next to Hartsfield-Jackson International..."

To be fair, I posted the Bisnow article that broke this story. Atl3k just hyped it. We all got the news the same day we would have without him doing that.

Specifically, what ATL3K mentioned that wasn't confirmed by the Bisnow article in August is that Airport City at College Parkn was the Metro Atlanta site being targeted for a casino.

I think that if we were to have a casino built, that wouldn’t be a bad place for it. They aren’t usually built in a way that greets the street well, so it would be out of the way there. Downtown doesn’t need another huge building with no street presence.

Anyone know what they’re doing at the Atlanta Medical Center building at the SE corner of Ralph McGill and Boulevard? There’s a fence up surrounding the building, and workers on the roof, possibly demoing.

What does this mean for 8th and West's timeline?

1105 W. Peachtree had their LD permit issued in June. So, it doesn't say much. But normally it'll take 3-4 months. They also need their demo permits filed, which I haven't seen. And Daquiri Factory is still open, so I'd be surprised anything happens on site before 2Q19.

This project is coming from LPBC (Lindsay Pope Brayfield Clifford & Associates) who "designed" the monstrosity proposed and forced to redesign with the help of LS3P from Charlston next to Fox Theater as well as the dual-brand crap on 10th street and the Hampton Inn at 15th/West Peachtree.

These hotel developers go to the lowest bidding architect and get this crap - it's just taken until now for the City of Atlanta to call them out for the lack of designs coming out.

Supposedly the latest elevation on record (via Curbed) for this project improves the design development but still lacking a level of design this area deserves.

testarossa50 · #**10332** Posted **Oct 29, 2018, 5:49 PM**

I'd like to jump in and defend the "dual brand crap" really quick. The 10th street hotel jams a couple hundred rooms onto about 2/3 of an acre soaking wet; really exceptional density for this town. Likewise the Hampton Inn, which sits on about half an acre.

imo these are good fillers on mediocre parcels that can't really accommodate much else in terms of quality development. Although in the particular case of the downtown building I wish they could have saved the existing structure, or at least the facade.

I wasn't shaming the land use at all...just the lack of thoughtful design put into theses projects lately.

They got the big crane up at The Mark.

Looks like the Anthem Tower is on the fifth floor.

Any news on 14th and Spring?

Emory Midtown Hospital's parking deck at 530 West Peachtree made it out of the the Atlanta City Council's Zoning Committee with conditional approval. Source:http://atlantacityga.iqm2.com/Citize...g.aspx?ID=2653

I think it still must be voted on by the whole council, but not positive about that. Here are the specific conditions:

Quote:

Conditions for U-18-12
530 West Peachtree Street
1. The site shall be developed in accordance with the site plan entitled “Emory Midtown Parking Deck” (the “Site Plan”) prepared by Howell Rusk Dodson, dated June 27, 2018 and stamped received by the Office of Zoning & Development on June 27, 2018. Minor changes to the approved site plan may be authorized by the Director, of the Office of Zoning and Development in accordance with Section 16-02.003(7).
2. EUHM shall provide designated car pool and van pool spaces in the deck at priority locations and designated rideshare zones with the EUHM Mobility Manager assisting in facilitating increased participation.
3. EUHM shall install electric vehicle charging stations in the deck at priority locations as well as dedicate 20% of the total parking spaces to electric charging stations.
4. EUHM shall not construct a pedestrian bridge between the Emory University Hospital Midtown parking deck and the existing hospital campus.
5. All current surface parking lot leases and the 725 Spring Street deck lease shall be terminated upon the expiration of current leases after the certificate of occupancy is issued for the deck.
6. EUHM shall provide active uses on all street frontages and dedicate a minimum of 200 sq. ft. of space on Spring Street, N.W. for a public art installation.
7. EUHM shall provide commuter bike facilities in the deck to safely store and maintain employee bicycles.

There is a lot to unpack here.

1. I think I read somewhere that they need the parking deck completed before starting on the new Winship Cancer Tower. That means the new tower likely won't get started for a couple more years.
2. Once the deck is completed, Emory is required to cancel their parking leases on all current surface parking lots in the area. I am not sure how many they are leasing, but this could free up more lots in the area for redevelopment.
3. Interesting that Emory also has a parking lease for the 725 Spring Street Deck. This is the super ugly parking deck surrounded by Anthem, Coda, and the Standard. Maybe this will finally free up that deck for redevelopment as well.

This is great infill for the location. Post Centennial has been a nice addition to the area, too. If I was a developer, I'd been taking a hard look at the blocks between Williams, Ivan Allen, Courtland, and Baker to build off the momentum from Post Centennial and proximity to both COP and MARTA's Civic Center HRT station.

cabasse · #**10340** Posted **Oct 30, 2018, 5:53 PM**

has a parking structure ever been torn down in this city? would be interesting to know what, if any, have been removed.
