A recent picture of the rapidly changing Midtown skyline....

A view from the penthouse level of Viewpoint shows the construction progress of Post Midtown and Apogee (22 14th Street). The recently completed Atlantic House is also shown in this picture. Even at 32 stories, Atlantic House looks so short. Either way, I can't complain about the growing density of Midtown.

Yes, that is Metropolis to the far left. Above is a rendering of the Peachtree portion of the base of the tower. Below is a picture of the tower portion.

Construction of Hanover Midtown is imminent.

Anthem to invest $20 million in 2000-job IT Hub Anthem is locating a 2000-job IT hub in Midtown's Bank of America Plaza. This goes to further cement Midtown's status a serious technology center. This is just the shot that Midtown needed. Source: Anthem to bring 2000 jobs to Midtown.

Land Development Permit was filed for 120 Piedmont today. See Martinman's post four post above for more information on this project.

Land development permit filed for The Sutton The Sutton will be located just south of the Shops Buckhead Atlanta on Peachtree Road. .

The nearly completed Atlantic House...... One Atlantic Center stands tall above the Atlantic House. To the left, the crane of the 39-story Apogee Midtown apartment tower. The garage of the Atlantic House has turned out better than I had expected. The limestone cladding adds a touch of class to this Novare offering. Once the retail is fully leased, it will definitely add to the pedestrian experience. Thanks to Ant131531

GSU plans $35 Mill Infectious Disease Research Center Georgia State University is planning to construct a disease research center in downtown Atlanta. This will be the first of its kind in the southeast. Having a research center in the biomedical industry in the heart of downtown is pretty interesting. I wonder how this center will differ from the Center of Disease Control in the Emory area of Atlanta. Either way, having a greater biomedical presence in Atlanta can only be a win win for the region. Georgia State University is to Downtown what GA Tech is to Midtown. Hopefully the new additions will add to Atlanta's growing influence as a world knowledge center. GSU proposed research center.

The Mercedes Benz Stadium is larger than I was expecting. I'm pleased with the look so far. Once complete, it will be just as attractive as the renderings. When the GA Dome is razed and replaced with the park space, it will make a great tie in between the new stadium and the Georgia World Congress Center. The proposed 800-1000 room hotel that will rise just to the north of the MB Stadium will have really nice easterly views from the upper floors.

Construction update.... There are nine (9) more floors to go for Modera Midtown and the NCR HQ tower starts to rise. https://www.instagram.com/p/BLMUKAHDVzq/

While Atlanta may not be on national media's radar, it definitely is on the radar of major employers.... Anthem eyes Midtown for technology center, will create more than 1000 jobs. The Indianapolis based Fortune 50 health insurance firm is eyeing at least three floors in the Bank of America tower to create a technology center. This announcement cone on the heels of a string of technology oriented announcements for the Midtown submarket. With this announcement, recent job announcements for the City of Atlanta will have to be expressed in several thousands as opposed to 100s. I haven't added them up but off my head I can think of at least 8000 jobs announced for Midtown recently. Some of these jobs are transfers from the suburbs to the city. This, of course, will only further cement the necessity for the plethora of residential towers that are either recently completed, under construction or proposed. http://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/news/2016/10/03/anthem-eyes-midtown-for-technology-center.html

Martiman thank you so much for the development compilation. It clearly shows how much development has taken place in Midtown in just a few years. Now for a construction site update.... In the foreground, NCR Corp's World HQ. To the left of University House is Modera Midtown. Just in front of One Atlantic Center is the recently topped out Atlantic House. The crane in front of Atlantic House is for Post Midtown.

Yet another proposal for Downtown. The proposal is currently called International Plaza and will be a mixed use tower of retail, office and hotel. It is proposed to be 25 stories. There will be a rooftop lounge. This will make for a very interesting view. The location is at 202 Courtland Street NE. It looks as if Downtown is finally starting to get some of the amazing development that has been present in Midtown, Buckhead and Perimeter Center. http://www.loopnet.com/Listing/19919277/202-Courtland-St-NE-Atlanta-GA/?linkcode=31060
