I can only ��♂️ so many times in a few days. Would be more useful to the forums to provide actual occupancy rates in each submarket rather than anecdotal speculation. For those in the know are familiar that Atlantic Yards is practically the same height as Star Metals and T3 is one of the more interesting additions as of late. Atlantic Yards added 500k sq ft of office, over 2x of Star Metals. And that AS continues to be a hot market in Atlanta, where Microsoft has been reported to be looking into the neighborhood for more office space.

Looking forward to more content being added to the boards. Here’s Midtown’s article regarding MU breaking ground. Cannot recall if it was included earlier:

Actually the value of a project-- economically, culturally and aesthetically is about a whole lot more that occupancy. We are making a city, not a disconnected group of economic investments--

West Midtown and Midtown proper are experiencing an unprecedented building boom, but Atlantic Station, which separates the two, hasn't built a high rise office or residential building in a decade. FYI, the 10 story midrise currently under construction is not a high rise.

So what's the problem? Is it the economy? Supply and demand? Lack of rail transit? Incompetence in visionary planners?

You could take any one of the new residential high rises (except student housing) and have it constructed in Atlantic Station and the building may or may not achieve the occupancy rates in the other two districts (regardless of economics and basic supply and demand).

So is it building design that's driving occupancy rates or location, location, location? Just

Technically anything over 75' is a high-rise (by code) and a 10 story building is a fine project--

Location is important, so is design, increasingly so-- and lastly what I said above, it's about a LOT more than occupancy. Cities are economic and cultural engines and live and die by their ability to accommodate growth, change and innovation- and to be places where people want to live--

The 6 cranes up at NS, the student housing project, and Anthem is really a site to behold.

Midtown’s No2 Opus Place project will either rise up or tap out.

The blue material between the podium and the office tower portion. Looks like the same kind of material they used for the blue cranes already erected.
