ATLANTA | Development Thread VI

That looks terrific! A bustling "Main Street" for Summerhill.

I saw this in the Atlanta forum. As I said there, I think this is a smart and doable plan for the redevelopment of the neighborhood.

Yeah, it looks like even this first phase is going to make a pretty big impact on Hank Aaron too:

Georgia State University will own the stadium property, which they will renovate into their football stadium. They will also construct a new baseball field with approximately 1,500 seats, on the former Atlanta Fulton County Stadium location.

Phase I of the private development includes:

• Up to 200 multi-family apartment units
• Redevelopment of Georgia Avenue, including existing retail and retail in new standalone buildings and creative/loft space
• Up to 850 bed student housing project
• Corporate build-to-suite office

Sounds like they are expecting this first phase to happen in 2017. So they aren't wasting any time considering they just closed on it.

As an owner of one, yeah I hear ya. It really sucks as I wanted to come back one day to it but now the view is just going to be blocked.

That Judicial Complex is atrocious. RIP archive building.

[cabasse]

are those renderings for the development around doraville station?

[tdawg]

I hate when civic and government architecture tries to replicate classical styles. Be bold and think outside the box.

[jpk1292000]

Awful building...might as well just install a huge gravel parking lot there instead.

[rgreen2206]

The columns seem especially weird since they are kind of free floating on the second floor and don't actually support anything.

[Libertarian]

Government gets their zombie architects by casting lots.

Debating whether or not to post the Northside and 17th Fuqua rendering here. Think it will make a lot of folks here incredibly angry.

New renderings? Post it! We're anticipating garbage, anyhow.

Everyone's expecting lots of surface parking and crappy "retail" liners just like every other big-box project they've ever done. They should change their tagline to "Bringing a taste of Johns Creek into the heart of Atlanta"

It's probably his worst iteration yet this decade. Won't even bother embedding it.

Can we petition the city to put a restraining order on Fuqua and his developments? Absolute trash of a design.

Just as Atlantic Station's Hines proposals and potentially the AMLI development are gaining ground.

Is that a self storage facility off to the right?
