Yeah it's a super dissapointing height.

Can someone snap a pic when it is daylight?

Keep in mind that the glass facade will extend about 3-4 floors above the top office floor. So it will be ~40 feet taller when finished. I also wish it would have been taller. Especially since it sits about 60-70 feet below the grade of Peachtree Street.

It's still awesome how much of a transformation the Tech Square area has gone through. You've got The Standard, Coda, Alexan 880, Modera Midtown, and NCR Phases 1&2 all under construction right now, with Hanover West Peachtree a few blocks up and Alta Midtown just finishing up. The West Peachtree/Spring area between 3rd Street and 10th Street may even eclipse the foot traffic on Peachtree between 5th and 10th Streets once these projects are all done. I have noticed a big difference in foot traffic through this area just in the past year.

This is what the southern end of this area looked like 10-15 years ago:

Instead of saying the building was topped out maybe you should have said the final floor was completed because the building still has another 40 to 50 feet to go before it topped out

Topped out usually means just the top of the major structure has finished - not necessarily meaning it's hit it's max height because usually a spire, parapet, and/or mechanical screen walls will still be installed later.

Great picture!!! Actually that may be almost 20 years old as the Baptist Church (now AT&T small's tower on Peachtree was not yet built). Piece of history...the steeple from that church was saved and moved to the church's new location in Buckhead.

Was the First Baptist Church building not considered a historic building?

I wonder about the fate of the other older Church buildings in Midtown that add a historic flavor to the area. I wonder if these nice structures could face the same demise.

Regardless of whether it was historic or not, I'm glad that one's gone.

First Baptist hired guards on horseback to keep the marchers off the property. They barred the doors to keep everyone out but their congregants, who jeered the marchers with homophobic comments before entering to worship God. But on the other side of the street, parishioners were handing out water to the marchers, along with fliers that said “Everyone is welcome at Saint Mark.”

St. Mark can stay.

There was an effort to save it. Bellsouth wanted to donate the Baptist Church to the Atlanta Symphony for a preformance hall but is was determined that the accoustics couldnt be corrected

First Baptist was cool and definitely added to the character of the neighborhood. It could have even been a "Tabernacle North," which is something staid, corporatist Midtown sorely lacks.

But, lest I forget, we should asses the character and value of a structure based on whether the institution inhabiting said structure helps advance the LGBT agenda. Now that's progressive!

[Street Advocate]

Anyone a member of progression church? I found this rezoning to be interesting: Rezoning for commercial purposes. MRC-3-C The application requests the change of zoning conditions for 629-637 Highland Avenue.

Also article says that Hanover has a sixth project under development, but no details yet where that will be.

Where does this LGTB agenda live? I cannot find the webpage or a syllabus anywhere to understand what it is; I heard ABC was airing something perhaps that's where I can find the agenda.

Did you post this from Hitler's bunker? Oh that's right you must be upset they tore that down too.
You should be ashamed of yourself for posting nonsense like this much less thinking it. You bigot.

Where are the mods at when you need them?

Wow - at 300 stories, we'll have the tallest building in the world! Go Midtown! : Really, though, looking forward to seeing the Midtown one come up. The Buckhead tower looks nice too.

Adam Harbin with Hanover was valedictorian or salutatorian (can't remember)of my high school graduating class. Great guy.

Let me sum it up for you: the building housing First Baptist Church should be destroyed because the congregation that once inhabited said building did not agree with our definition of marriage. Any questions?
