UNDER CONSTRUCTION—Long-percolating and now materializing, the block-consuming, mixed-use development Midtown Union broke ground this fall. In the first phase alone, the Granite Properties project is slated to deliver more than 600,000 square feet of office space within a 26-story tower, an 18-floor residential building with 355 apartments atop eight levels of parking, a 12-story hotel, and 30,000 square feet of retail.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION—One of a trio of Portman Architects-designed tower developments lining a few blocks of West Peachtree Street, the first Anthem office building is expected to open in early 2020. A sister glassy tower is underway as well, next door (see next entry).

UNDER CONSTRUCTION—The third piece of Portman Architects’s three-project puzzle on West Peachtree Street, 712 West Peachtree is also poised to house offices for the Anthem healthcare company. It’s scheduled to open in 2021.

PROPOSED—Across the street from the Arts Center MARTA Station, The Hanover Company intends to build a 40-story mixed-use tower bordering the planned extension of 15th Street. The project would bring 8,600 square feet of ground-level retail beneath 258,000 square feet of office space and 328 market-rate apartments. The developer is eyeing a 2021 groundbreaking, once construction of the new street section wraps.

PROPOSED—Just west of the Midtown MARTA Station, Chicago-based developer Core Campus is planning a 20-story student housing tower that would house nearly 800 beds and 5,600 square feet of ground-level retail. The site currently houses a low-rise nightclub.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION—In March, Cousins Properties broke ground on the million-square-foot behemoth slated to house the new HQ of railroad giant Norfolk Southern. Expected to open in mid-2021, the office project would also feature 13,000 square feet of retail, as well as a “food hall-style dining facility,” sprawling green spaces on rooftops and at street-level, and a 24/7 fitness center.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION—A 1.1-acre site at the corner of 10th and Spring streets, long the home of Domino’s Pizza, is in full construction mode. Landmark Properties and CityLife Development Partners are building a 28-story student housing tower, to include more than 280 apartments, called The Mark. Expected debut: fall 2020.

PROPOSED—Not much has changed since last year, but the potentially 46-story mixed-use tower by developer Trillist, which would squeeze between Peachtree Street and Crescent Avenue where they both meet 13th Street, is still in Midtown’s development pipeline and expected to go before the Development Review Committee next year.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION—North American Properties has undertaken a massive overhaul of the retail experience at one of Midtown’s original high-rise developments. A food hall and a dine-in movie theater are in the works now, and the whole shebang is scheduled to wrap sometime in 2020.

PROPOSED—Cousins Properties’s blade-shaped 8th @ West promises 31 stories with 470,000 square feet of offices and a smattering of retail at the base. The development is said to be on track to deliver in spring 2021, per Midtown Alliance, but recent activity at the site has been minimal. Given that existing low-rise buildings still stand, the 2021 outlook probably isn’t reasonable anymore.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION—China-based developer Dezhu is on track to debut all 150 luxury condos at the corner of Juniper and 5th streets in Spring 2020. Current listings span from the mid-$500Ks to low $800Ks.

PROPOSED—A major transit-oriented development is in initial planning stages for Midtown’s North Avenue MARTA Station, a project that would build up from the transit stop’s existing infrastructure.

PROPOSED—Chicago-based CA Ventures wants to build a 32-story tower—with 12,000 square feet of retail at the base—that would overlook Peachtree and Eighth streets where a couple of low-rise restaurant buildings stand now. With 417 apartments, it would be the largest of three CA proposals in Midtown and Buckhead. In recent weeks, the developer has said no firm construction timeline has been established.

PROPOSED—Part of Selig Enterprises’s decade-in-the-making 12th & Midtown mega-project, the legit skyscraper of 51 stories would inject more people than retail into the area (plans, at last check: 207,100 square feet office space, 56 residential units, 253 hotel rooms, and 6,000 square feet of retail). The project’s schedule appears to be up in the air.

PROPOSED—SCAD is planning to develop a 20-story student housing tower across the Connector from Atlantic Station. The project, as proposed, would feature nearly 1,000 beds for SCAD students, a dining hall and food market, and a 33,000-square-foot auditorium, just south of where Spring Street meets the Buford-Spring Connector. The school completed another student tower in the vicinity this year.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION—A two-structure development across the street from Bobby Dodd Stadium will bring 239 apartments for students (750 beds total) in buildings standing seven and 12 stories, according to initial plans.

PROPOSED—Not much is known about the luxury condo project proposed near Ansley Park by the development group founded by a man coined “Atlanta’s Emperor of Empty Lots,” but rough sketches for the project emerged earlier this year.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION—After fielding design suggestions from Midtown’s Development Review Committee, developer Noble Investment Group is moving forward with a revised, 14-story hotel project next to the Fox Theatre. The high-end hotel is slated to feature 154 rooms under the Marriott Courtyard Flag, as well as 128 more in its Marriott Element section.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION—A 1940s auto shop was razed recently to make way for new high-end modern apartments by developer Dezhu—in a section of Midtown that could benefit from large-scale investment and foot traffic.

PROPOSED—Although developer Olympia Heights has secured a land disturbance permit and kicked off preliminary site work, we’re reluctant to call this one “under construction,” since it’s been talked about for so many years. If realized, though, the potentially skyscraping residential and office tower would be one of Atlanta’s tallest.
