Thanks for the updates Immovable_Media. I am really liking that Northside Dr project.

Thanks for watching! Construction #6 will cover about 40 Metro ATL Developments so stay tuned, much more to come

Nice job Immovable!. By the way, Vallate is within the city proper and the developer is Daniel Corp. (same guys that are developing 12th & MIdtown).

OFW/Inman Park/East Atlanta
280 Elizabeth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z-5Oop_XXw
Site grading is currently underway on this 5-floor apartment complex. Located in the heart of Inman Park, this 200-unit development, which in addition to apartments will offer about 39,000 square feet of retail space will also feature a public "water wall" and stripe of green space that connects Elizabeth Street with an existing pond that brims with koi fish.

Decatur Street Self-Storage Facility: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSAczKpuaRI
Located at the intersection of Decatur Street and Boulevard, a state-of-the-art, 110,000-square foot facility storage facility is currently under construction. Planned is a five-story, climate-controlled storage building that houses 854 units along with two oversized elevators, a covered loading/unloading area, drive-up exterior units and a conference facility for its renters. A retail storefront will also front Decatur Street and should adhere to the Beltline design principles.

Maynard H. Jackson High School: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSAQxjS0BSw
The school's campus in Grant Park is undergoing $45 million renovation to its physical plant, scheduled to be complete by the end of this year. (Jackson students have temporarily been relocated to the Coan Middle School Campus in Kirkwood.) I spoke with a very friendly construction worker who informed me of the following facts: since there are 3+ feet of soil on the roof (complete with walking track which extends into the hill behind the building), a LOT of concrete was used to support this weight the building when it was built in 1982. This made demolition more costly than renovation.

300 Glenwood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHAn-IofRZ4
Across the street from Jackson High sits the fenced off lot dubbed "300 Glenwood" to be developed by Fuqua. It's really a massive lot that should be developed wisely. The Beltline runs to the west, new apartments are already up on the east, and to the south, Jackson High will look brilliant once complete. It's very important this lot be developed with the whole neighborhood in mind, not just dumping more big box strip malls.

755 North Apartments: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDRA56QJ2Go
Crews are finally moving on this 5-floor apartment complex. The parking structure is already taking shape. Views from up here will be beautiful.

Ponce City Market: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5pxJ4TAtmw
Our diamond in the rough's clean-up is moving nicely! Crews have begun removing the green stains from the tower and most of the facade is intact once again. The windows have almost been completely replaced while the trees fronting Glen Iris are gone. The western parking lot has taken shape and the sidewalk along North Ave is being replaced.

Krog Street Market: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11ruc0zgepI
The northern lot has been cleared and is currently being leveled. Windows have been cut out of the brick facade on several sides in effect "opening up" the space. Meanwhile inside crews are putting up the framing of the individual stores/booths.

AMLI Ponce Park: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYSXbc-SMAY
Work has begun on the ground floor of the apartment building. I hope they have thick walls because the Mascarade is loud, even during the day. The bass and low tones travels far, I could still hear them from the playground 0.3 miles to the south.

BOHO 4W: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ef7-8_nOhc
Both buildings have topped out at 5 floors. Now crews are working on the brick and stone facades. The balconies on this project look large and will have great views all around. Hopefully they won't house the AC units out there (like at every "SkyHouse" in the world).

Egbert Perry has the old GM site next to the Doraville MARTA station under contract!

Finally some great news coming from this very valuable piece of real estate. This site has the potential for being of the magnitude of Atlantic Station. At 167 acres, the site is prime for a TOD that offers live, work and play options. Being located next to the last station on the Gold Line, this could be an urban oasis. It could also be a tax boom for the small city of Doraville. All they would need to add to this location is an express shuttle to the Perimeter Center.

Let us hope that the environmental studies come back clear so redevelopment can move forward quickly. I am sure that Mr. Perry can put together a team of developers who will make something exciting happen in this location.

Slated for a spring 2015 completion, the 10 upscale townhomes now known as The Water Tower Stacks promise to deliver "historic modern" architecture to the Old Fourth Ward.

Located in the triangle formed by Irwin Street, Auburn Avenue and Randolph Street, the aptly named development is right next to Old Water Tower Park (and water tower). It's also within walking distance of Krog Street Market, the Beltline and Historic Fourth Ward Park. Each unit, built by Epic Development, will feature four stories and a "unique rooftop finished room and open air space with incredible views of downtown Atlanta.

I have to post on the opening of one of the most important developments in the city in recent years. With 15 shops and 13 vendors in the Food Hall now open, the massive Ponce City Market development is finally starting to take shape. There is still a lot more to come but this place is already a huge hit.
