Macon does have a lot of fill-in work to do DT before it can go tall, but all indicators show that its not going to be a major problem. There has to be about 30-40 restoration/renovation projects going on downtown now. It wont be long before the potential is even further realized. DT living is drastically improving and the DT population is growing as a result. Theres not a whole lot of press about whats going on in Macon but that doesnt mean that there arent major developments happening. MCCG, the states largest hospitlal behind Grady, currently has a 12 story building under construction DT as we speak but it has yet to be mentioned in any thread. Also a development team has promised for a bout a year now to build a large-scale mixed-use (possibly high-rise) development on Riverside Dr. (DT) where the Macon Transit Workshop is located just as soon as Macon Transit finds a new location for there operation (the terminal station). Well as most Middle Georgians have heard, recently The Terminal Station project was awarded 5.8 million in gov. money so all transportation (Macon Transit, Greyhound, Taixis, Trolleys, hopefully commuter rail) will be moving there after renovations are complete, leaving the door open for a new high-rise in DT Macon in the next couple of years.

I dont know, after looking at the newest plans for Liberty Harbor, Brunswick might be giving all second-tier Georgia cities a run for their money in the skyline department!

Id still say Augusta has the best right now (at least tallest in terms of average height of buildings and number of tall buildings.)

[ATLman1]

Phenix City, across from Columbus, just approved a new highrise condo building DT. The building looks to be around 9 or 10 stories. Both DT areas have a lot of potential. I think this building will set the precedent for future highrise development in the DT areas.

I think all of these cities has potential to get a larger skyline but i have to say i think and that Macon or augusta may get the next larger skyline because it seems that they both have a lot of proposed and approved developments for there downtown area and they have already some what of a small skyline now and once you have a skyline forming it seems to draw more development, look at atlanta.

augusta riverfront construction

[socaguy]

Jungletobacco, what are they going to build on that cleared land on the riverfront?

[Pillsbury]

Yeah, really what are they going to build? And will someone please do something about all those parking lots!!!

[jungletobacco]

some developer from the ATL I believe......but nothing is going up cause landing downtown is so expensive!

sooo he got to raise more money.......more land for sale!

good news Augusta think condos and shopping center you heard it here first!

[SOUTHWESTATL]

Well since Sandy Springs is now a city, I would say Sandy Springs will.

Still Metro Atlanta. Doesn't count. But good try. lol

[yerocal]

No i think Macon will get a larger skyline and it has a better skylin. if you take picture of macon coming for the east willl make augusta skyline look like crap.

[jungletobacco]

Lets be honest Savannah and Augusta are only cities outside of Atlanta have a "real skyline"! So between the two Which city is more complimented by the Savannah River the best?

with Savannah's charm and Augusta green space, its a good argument on both sides.

Here is a picture of macon's skyline.

[jungletobacco]

that is a nice picture of downtown Mactown! can you get a skyline picture? that more aerial than skyline. but i would admit i was wrong about having no skyline but there is roon for improvement. here is an aerial of Augusta but it doesnt get the whole downtown.

In my opinion Macon has the skyline outside of atlanta.

[ATLman1]

That's a nice picture of augusta's downtown but to me it looks no better than Macon's, actually they both need a lot of improvements, but Macon and Augusta to me has the best two skyline out of any other city outside of atlanta. But i understand that the picture i provide was a aerial view but it will give you and idea of macon's down town and also here are some more and a skyline view aswell. Even though both cities' downtown could use a lot of improvments from what i have observe, from visting all of georgia's larger cities Macon and Atlanta has the best sky lines. Because Savannah or columbus really could be compared in a skyline discussion because they don't have one.

[jungletobacco]

so you proved our point.....Columbus dosent have skyline. Columbus has the tallest building outside of Atlanta. I dont know what that mean but good for Columbus.

[dougtha1]

Columbus has the tallest buildings outside of Atlanta, but they are not downtown. Aflac's HQ's is in midtown. If those two towers were downtown along with the other 8-14 story buildings that Columbus has downtown, Columbus would easily surpass all of the other GA cities. It's ashame that Aflac chose to build in midtown instead of downtown.
