Looks like one of those older apartment buildings you might find in NYC or Chicago.

I like it.

How tall will it be?

[teshadoh]

The Reynolds is going up across the street from Crawford Long on Peachtree - a few blocks south of North Ave.

On page 2 the poster by the name of Chris has a picture of a building near Centennial Olympic Park he labels Block 3. Does anyone know the name of that building or where he obtain that picture? I would love to read more information on that development.

Thank you in advance.

The building doesn't have a name yet other than Block 3.  Not sure if thats the name of the property or the building but you can read a little, very little, about the building on the developers website(click: new developments).  Its the same guys that are building 905 Juniper in Midtown.

Thank you very much Martinman. Fascinating. I wonder if this will get built. This developer is responsible for the GLG Grand (Four Seasons) develpoment. Good for him.....great for Atlanta.

Actually they weren't directly responsible for the Grand.  This is a new company formed by Larry Gellerstedt and a few others who worked for another company, Beers construction.  Beers was the construction company that built the Grand and the other stuff on the front page of their website.

I think it has a good chance of getting built because they know what they're doing and I think the market for residential in the area near the park will grow.  There is an awful lot of residential planned down there though so who knows.

There is a whole lot of residential development going on in that sector of the city. Novare Groups's Centennial develpoment is going to add 1000 new residences alone. This building appears to be 50 stories. Quite alot of new homes. With the addition of the Aquarium and the World of Coca~Cola plus the Atlantic Station's many amenities, this area could become a residential boom. The Civic Center is just blocks away. I hope the developer prices the homes just right. The Museum Tower took a while to sell out but Centennial Park West, which was more pricey, sold out quicker. Perhaps it's all the amenties offered at Centennial PW.

Either was, this is good for the CBD.

Did they ever build that Millenuim Gate thing?

Millenium Gate? Where was it supposed to be? I personally have not heard anything about such a project.

To another point though, I really wished they would have done something major with the 17th ST bridge. Such a missed opportunity to do something grand and monumental.

He's talking about this

Atlanta given Millennium Gate

The National Monuments Foundation will give Atlanta a 72-foot tall monumental gateway, called the Millennium Gate.

The $20 million monument is the largest classical work of art to be built in the United States since the construction of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington D.C., and the second monument to be built in Atlanta by this team, which previously built the Prince of Wales's Monument to the Olympic Games at Pershing Point.

Alexander Stoddard of Scotland, the chief sculptor of the Millennium Gate, will be among the presenters today at noon at the State Capitol.

A museum component designed by Edwin Schlossberg is planned inside the Millennium Gate. It will convey peaceful accomplishment over the last 2,000 years, the ascension of the United States and the resurgence of the city of Atlanta. Designed by way of an international competition opened only to students of architecture, the entries were judged by some of the most notable architects/educators: Robert A.M. Stern, Dean of Architecture at Yale University; Elizabeth Plater Zyberk, Dean of Architecture at University of Miami; Leon Krier of The Prince of Wales's Institute; Michael Dennis of Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and Carroll William Westfall, Dean of Architecture at The University of Notre Dame.

Suppposed to go somewhere at Atlantic Station.  I think it would be better on Peachtree somewhere.

I just realized there's not a complete rundown of Atlanta projects on this site ...I'll try to put one together.

My gosh Martinman, I'm going to have to start relying on you for information. You are always there to get me the information I need.

Now that you show me this article, I remember it vaguely now. I had forgotten the name of it. When I saw this in the AJC, I really wanted them to build it. I still do. It would be a great addition to the growing monuments of Atlanta.

Thanks again Martinman for your contunued information.

In your DT listings, you forgot the Twelve Development.  Twin 30 story towers with 1000 units, plus hotel.  I've seen some renderings floating around the net, don't have them handy though.  Although I don't think the developer has had the ground breaking ceremony yet, site prep work is well underway.

I went by the site this weekend and there is no change.  What you're seeing is the reconstruction of Alexander st which was one way and about 3 lanes into Ivan Allen Blvd which will be something like this......




Groundbreaking is scheduled for sometime this summer though.

Pretty sure it wasn't the Ivan Allen work I saw.

[teshadoh]

The Peachtree Portal site is in the beginning stages of construction & of course  two city blocks are under construction for the Ivan Allen Plaza with one more block being used for construction headquarters.  And of course there is the new street construction...

[Martinman]

One more Downtown

The Glenn Hotel - 10 stories conversion of 1925 building to a 110 room 4-star hotel

[chasedodge]

I drove by the Twelve Centennial Hill site the other day and it does not appear to me that any work is going on.

The cranes are currently being lowered at Spire and 1180 Peachtree.
