The "Quiet Boom" in Urban Living

[Martinman]

Another project on the westside is White Provisions.

The project will preserve the "White Provision Co." building in front (a 1910 meat-packing plant), while attaching a contemporary steel-and-glass complex to the back that will contain 100 condominiums with ground-floor retail.

Wow....that appears to be some great projects in the works. Slowly but surely, the streetscape is becoming urban.

A 300 unit apartment development called Tenside just broke ground at the corner of Northside Drive and 10th Street. Here's a flyer pdf with site plan and a small rendering.

A couple more nice projects are going up in Chamblee. This is developing into a nice little village around the Marta station.

I see you found my pictures of 752 Moreland...love that project. But ask before you borrow

[Martinman]

^^ I don't know if you saw it but I sent you a PM on where I got the pic of 752.

New renderings of White Provisions

Btw, WP progress is visible on the Atlantic cam in the upper left corner.

and another apartment project

1845 Piedmont

[eastatlanta119]

Provisions is going to be amazing - I'm especially excited about that glass structure! The insertion of tragically modern into such rough, mostly brick industrial surroundings is a perfect reflection of the Westside's design savvy.

In which part of town is 1845 Piedmont located?

[Martinman]

1845 will replace the Rock Springs Plaza at the corner of Piedmont and Cheshire Bridge (bye bye Taco Cabanna).

^^ Do you know when it was built? Despite the fact that its a strip center it does have some character. I guess they even built strip malls better "back in the day".

I love White Provisions too. It's the best of both worlds - attractive adaptive reuse mixed with cutting edge new.

Martinman - About Rock Springs Plaza.....I used to live over there, and it didn't always look as nice as it does now. I'm guessing about 5-6 years ago they gave the place a nice little facelift. Exposing/adding brick, standardized lettering for the shops, new awnings, etc. I'll miss it since it's so local and not chained out, but I do like what is taking it's place.

On a similar note, not sure if anyone remembers but this type of redevelopment is also going to wrap around the corner up to around where The Colonnade is. Selig bought the land under the antique strip mall, The Colonnade and the Cheshire Motor Lodge and had it rezoned to mixed-use. At the time, The Colonnade announced that they would be an "anchor" of the new development. This was at least a year or so ago......

[Martinman]

Good deal John. I didn't know that about the Selig plans at The Colonnade. I'll see if I can find anything else on it.

When I drive around intown and see the amount of low to midrise development going on, I am amazed. This developments don't make the news because they do no pierce the sky but their voices and impact are just as loud. There is just so much infil going on. It makes me so happy to see. Especially readaptive uses going on along Memorial Drive just outside downtown. This is the type development that gets people intown. Services follow the people and I can see many services coming back to the city. The title of this thread is "Quiet Boom." I think the boom is loud and clear...it's more like an invisible boom. Like a clap of thunder. You may not see the ligthening bolt but you sure hear the thunder.

[Martinman]

Speaking of which, there was a brief mention in the AJC of what will replace the Atlanta Dairy which is now closed. Someone was quoted in the paper says they are selling to a developer who is planning condos and a grocery store. Who would have imagined a grocery store in this part of Memorial a few years ago?

Heres another project planned for Memorial Drive.
