Renderings show early vision for hotel at West Midtown’s under-construction Interlock

Developer S.J. Collins’s full vision for The Interlock mixed-use has come to light. Somewhat.

A tipster recently forwarded Curbed Atlanta preliminary renderings for a Marriott Tribute Portfolio hotel slated to be built at the $450 million West Midtown development.

Images of the 161-key boutique hotel, sketched by architecture firm Dynamik Design, show a mix of design elements across roughly 13 stories.

Sited on 14th Street, the hotel would have a lower-level parking deck topped by rooms with private balconies and what appears to be an open-air patio space cut into the middle of the building.

Work began on the hotel’s podium in July.

Development officials confirmed the legitimacy of the renderings in a recent call with Curbed, but noted that they are early designs, subject to change. Updated images are expected in a few weeks.

The Interlock is scheduled to begin opening next fall. It’s expected to ultimately feature about 200,000 square feet of office space, 100,000 square feet of retail, 350 apartments, and 70 single-family homes.

Construction kicked off in the winter, and, at last check, 65 percent of the planned office and retail space had been leased.

Incoming restaurant tenants include Velvet Taco, Cathy’s Gourmet Ice Cream Sandwiches, and the St. Germain French Bakery.

Office occupants are coworking giant WeWork—expected to claim 118,000 square feet, officials said—Slater Hosptiality, and Georgia Tech Ventures, which would operate a 50,000-square-foot start-up incubator.
