  1. Has anybody heard of any retailers rumored to be locating on the Midtown Mile? With Atlantic Station, Lenox and Phipps, and now The Streets of Buckhead, what's left for the city's most authentic urban district?

    Downtown is by far the city's most urban district. You must not know what an urban area is like.

  2. Why on earth would anyone shop at Neiman Marcus in NYC when you have the whole 5th avenue and everything else.......Isnt Dallas' NM's the biggest ones since it is based there?

    You could say that about any store that is in NYC or any new store in NYC. If there was a NM in NYC, I'm sure it would be a huge success. In other words, your statement is ridiculous.

  3. No doubt. Wonder what will happen with the Disco Kroger property, for instance?

    Well, you do remember about Buckhead Place which is suppose to start in the first quarter of 2006. And that is going to have a great Peachtree street level presence and the little office building in front of the Disco Kroger is to be torn down in the Spring.

  4. This will be in Buckhead?

    I am completely impressed - but it is too bad it faces a 4 to 6 lane highway & a blank side of a shopping center. Nonetheless, with the redesign of Peachtree Rd & continued development - there is some hope for a walkable Lenox area of Buckhead.

    Still - that is one of the sharpest condo building renderings I have ever seen for Atlanta, I love it.

    This is the kind of infill needed in Midtown, or to close in the gaps between Midtown and Buckhead. But guys, don't forget about the condo going up on Juniper. I think its 905 Juniper. That one is also one of the best.

  5. Well, according to this article (which I am sure most of you have read), the retail portion of Atlantic Station is set to open October 20th. Rumors circulated in the article say that it may sap some of the business from the city's malls. The developers behind the retail village say this will become "Atlanta's Downtown Mall". They also say it will signify the rebirth of 'Main Street" downtonwn, only relocated.

    This is certainly an exciting piece of news. Any thoughts?

    They are crazy if they think that is going to happen. I personally don't think people are really going to shop there if there is bad weather and if they don't get more stores that you can't find in the malls. I am sure they are going to get a lot of traffic when it first opens. As far as "Atlanta's Downtown Mall", I would hope we could get significant retail downtown. They're are people okay with everything in retail being in Buckhead or Midtown. We don't need to make either a replacement for downtown. Though, most retail is in Buckhead, if you are going to revitalize the city, let's make sure downtown gets the same attention as Buckhead and Midtown. Some people have created an attitude against Buckhead, because of what is has that Downtown can't offer, I don't think its okay to now try to make Midtown the new Downtown.

  6. The article in the Business Chronicle notes that Cousins is simultaneously doing the site work for the 700-800 unit condo tower it plans for this project. Sam Massell is quoted as saying there is a "strong understanding" that the residential tower is going forward at this time, although Larry Gellerstedt of Cousins says it's simply easier to do the site work at the same time they are building the office tower.

    I love all of the new buildings going up in Midtown and Buckhead, but it is absolutely amazing how much is actually being built in Buckhead. It's like an entire skyline being built right before our eyes.
