Initial programming envisions a two-tower complex for the first phase, which will likely contain graduate and executive education for the Ernest Scheller Jr. College of Business, the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, and other programming. The project will likely also include a large plaza with street-level retail and an underground parking deck. Phase III has an estimated cost of about $200 million and would provide more than 400,000 gross square feet. The earliest the building could open would be 2022.“

"Earliest the building could be open would be 2022" leads one to believe demolition of exisitng 2 large story buildings might well be imminent. But that doesn't appear in this quote

Anyone know planned demolition date of this exciting new Tech Square West Peachtree expansion?

Not sure, but they’re still exploring and hiring for the design of the site. Chances are we things may not change until early or mid next year.

With CODA at 740,000 sq ft, it appears this 'phase I' will be about half the size of Coda. Given Coda takes up an entire block, this might be about the height of Coda assuming Phase I takes up half the block.

“CIM Group just filed plans with the state for a 6.1-acre project, including housing and hotel rooms. It could come behind the former Norfolk Southern Corp. buildings, which the developer is already renovating.”

“It would include 325 hotel rooms, 386 residential units, almost 200,000 square feet of office space and just over 50,000 square feet of retail space.“

I believe someone else posted about these a few months ago, but Cooper Carry's proposal for this site would be incredible.

Good to hear. Competition is always good. The fact that this is now in the public, makes me think this is probably not the winner.

UPDATE

https://www.news.gatech.edu/2019/08/...scheller-tower


Pending full project funding and approval by the Board of Regents and the governor, construction could begin as early as the summer of 2020 and could conclude by the end of 2022.

Two new towers on this block will be amazing and the ground floor retail will help activate between the blocks east and west.

Drove past it yesterday... looks like a lot of foundational work has been completed and it should start rising up soon.

And this week, Olympia Heights’s director of developments Roni Avraham shared yet another new timeline for No. 2 Opus Place with Curbed Atlanta.

Site work is already underway, says Avraham, noting that trees on the property have been felled.

Construction is scheduled to begin in earnest in November, he adds.

Curbed still using the original rendering that is for the taller, original building.

If that's the case then No 2. Opus's website hasn't even been updated with the shortened version.

"MARTA is looking to redevelop its North Avenue station, just as south Midtown sees a wave of high-rise projects.

JLL on Thursday released a request for proposals (RFP) for a 1.55-acre site at the MARTA station, located at the northeast corner of North Avenue and West Peachtree Street.

The hope is to bring a “signature tower project” to the station, as Atlanta Business Chronicle reported in June. That’s when MARTA tapped JLL to market the site, the first time the agency engaged a third-party firm to assist its transit-oriented development (TOD) program.

A development at the North Avenue station would need to integrate the existing underground heavy rail station and street-grade bus terminal. The deal could be structured as a 99-year ground or air rights lease."

The dealer I see everyday at the station isn't going to like this.
