Looks like they are getting ready to break ground on this project very soon. This is going to be very good for the future growth of Valdosta and the surrounding area.

Also this will be the tallest building in South Georgia.

Agreed. Valdosta's a great city. I'm very interested in seeing where this topic goes.

The building doesn't look so bad either. Hopefully, it won't be alone in Valdosta's skyline.

From looking at the map and my memories of Valdosta, this building is going to be about a mile or so from downtown across from the Hospital. Something like this would propably do well downtown also because there city is always trying new things to improve its downtown.

Yeah Valdosta is defiently growing. I am in Tallahassee and I can remember folks from Valdosta driving all the way to Tallahassee to do there shopping and have a night out on the town. Now thats not the case so much any more. Now there are folks from Tallahassee driving to Valdosta to go to Wild Adventures and such.

Also Valdosta has manage to get a few retail stores even before Tallahassee has.

I was in Valdosta earlier this year on my way to Orlando. I had hoped to spend the night and go to visit "The Crescent" on the following day, but the smoke was so bad that I just took some pictures of "The Crescent" and then drove on down to Orlando. I lived in Valdosta as a small child and my Father was from there. I really didn't have any memories of the town and was very surprised by how nice the town was. I am planning to go back at some point. I am hoping to have my Mother meet me there so that she can point out things that she can remember like where we lived and where my Great-Grandmother's house had been located. My interest in "The Crescent" was that my Great-Grandfather had been a carpenter that had worked on building it and many of the other Victorian and Edwardian homes in Valdosta.

Im guessing "The Crescent" is a Victorian home in Valdosta?

Great project for Valdosta,  even not if in Downtown.  A mile or so from DT is still inner city.

Nice project.  I was just reading an article about Valdosta, I think in the Ga Trend.  It seems that there is some progressive and ambitious leadership there which is why I think the city has a bright future.

This is greaet news for Valdosta. Even though a mile is a good ways away from downtown, I think that market is pretty obvious- Valdosta State and hospital employees. My only concern is the lack of street level retail. I realize this proably wouldn't attract that many walkers, but there is no reason not to have it. The site mentions commercial properties, but I don't see where its located on the renderings.

wow, go valdosta! good looking building there.
