With a name that pays homage to its original residential use, the revitalized, Spanish Colonial-inspired Hotel Granada will offer 120 rooms and a leafy open-air courtyard with multiple options for lounging, drinking, and dining.
The project’s goal, according to Chicago-based management firm Aparium Hotel Group, was to remake the 101-year-old Midtown landmark—most recently the Artmore Hotel—into a “destination that evokes the timeless elegance of a Western European retreat” and contrasts the district’s glassy skyline around it.
Imagine a museum that showcases the future of space travel. The marvels of the human body. Advancements in robotics and innovations in farming.
This is the vision for a $100 million museum planned for Downtown Atlanta called FutureVerse.
Leaders at Georgia Tech, Emory University and University of Georgia are advising the project. They see an opportunity to expose more people to technology
The museum is still in planning, and the team has raised about $250,000, Wynett said.
The team hasn't selected a site for the museum. But Atlanta Business Chronicle confirmed it has had early talks with Centennial Yards, the $5 billion redevelopment of The Gulch next to Mercedes-Benz Stadium. FutureVerse is working with Cushman & Wakefield, according to an announcement.
The museum could span 150,000 square feet. It is projected to see 1.2 million visitors a year, according to an announcement.
Cooper Carry is the architect. A rendering provided to the Chronicle shows a curved building with rooftop attractions, including a garden.
I'm not against increased density re: Amsterdam Avenue. But 17 stories, breaking the tree line, multiple decks, and going out onto one street, Monroe— either via Evelyn or Amsterdam, it's just too much for that area. They have a fantastic ground level plan..Why can't they implement that with something that's six stories and doesn't need a deck? Middle ground is okay.
Re: Amsterdam Avenue, I don't even mind the 6-7 story apartment buildings they have rendered around the side. It's the two huge office towers that are so out of scale for the neighborhood. Even if you add Evelyn Street in, both of those exit onto Monroe which is the only way out of the neighborhood. Increased density is okay but it's not Midtown on that side of the park.
