One thing about Selig Enterprises is that they usually have good "follow-through" on their projects.

Lets just hope people are in the market for office space.

Model of 725 Ponce, showing how it interacts with the beltline.

Also demo of the Murder Kroger building has started today.

And an updated siteplan now lists the rest of the parking lot as a phase II of the development: http://725ponce.com/wp-content/uploa...eb_2016-09.pdf

Future hotel? Are they adding floors to the deck in the future for a hotel?

There's already a pool poured in on the roof of the deck to be used by the future building.

That's been the intent all along: the parking deck was slated for hotel and/or condos on top of it. There's already a structure in place for the future pool deck as well on top.

Excellent

Some updates on Coca-Cola's HQ renovations here in Atlanta. Now if we could get some exterior/urban renovations around their campus going.....

I have two of the largest data centers in the southeast within blocks of me, and you would never know. I doesn't have to be a concrete box like the proton center. They could put feaux windows, or actual business space on the bottom level without issue. People just hate the dead zones on the buildings, and I don't blame them. The CODA building has been a snoozer for me from the get go, but I am happy to see the block being developed.

Those Coca-Cola renovations have taken forever. Seems like they were announced five or six years ago.

Not quite that long ago -

Maybe they could replicate the facade of the C&F building, or something along those lines?

This is my terrible job of Photoshopping but it's the general idea.

They could also do something with that white stucco/concrete wall above, too.

It would still end up being a windowless wall.

CODA is looking more tolerable with every rendering, so maybe the final result will be okay after all... still no respect for Crum & Forster, though. I'd rather see it demolished than have what little is left of it begrudgingly tacked onto the base of an office tower like that. I think the architectures would agree. It's distasteful.

You guys shouldn't worry so much about that side having no active uses, though. Armstead isn't a street per say, just an alley that spans a single block, and the grassy park shown in the rendering is actually the loading dock of an adjacent building. It wouldn't make much sense to put retail there.

Well, I'm assuming there's some reason they can't have actual windows. If they can, they obviously should.

But if they can't, they can at least create the appearance of fenestration.

Windows add thermal complexity and thus increase running costs in data centers.

No one said anything about retail. What was being discussed is the blank windowless wall. There is a loading dock across the street and there's also an attractive building with windows.

Right. But they could still create a facade with the appearance of windows, couldn't they?

Not trying to be a smart@$$, but GA Tech has signed for 300K sqft for the HPCC. Next Tier HD (a separate company) has leased and will operate the 80K sqft data center.

I was initially disgusted with the first design version, but the current one is much better.

On a positive note: if you have seen the new 22 story State Farm building in the Perimeter, it's a massive building with a lot of impact. With that said, CODA is over 100K+ sqft larger than the State Farm building. I have heard from a couple of people involved in the project, CODA has LoI from two companies (each taking 100K+ sqft). I think one may be GE, not sure about the other.
