SLS Atlanta Hotel Residences Moves Forward

by

The possibility of another Midtown Atlanta corner changing appears to be one step closer as the SLS Atlanta Hotel Residences moves forward.

Trillist (the developer of Yoo On The Park apartments) appeared before the Midtown Alliance Design Review Committee (DRC) this past week. This was a follow-up presentation to a previous visit.

The building will be located at the corner of 13th and Cypress Streets. NO, NOT the parking lot next to Opera Nightclub, but the low-rise apartment building across the street? I guess we can say Bye Bye! And she will be a skyscraper with a proposed 43-story tower that will contain 214 hotel rooms and 66 condominiums, along with 12 levels of podium parking. (Yes, we still need those garages!!!)

Cypress 13th Street SLS Atlanta

It’s probably pretty safe to say that the condominiums will be on the upper end of the market price! But this will certainly be an exciting addition the area. 60 11th Street apartments recently opened as part of the 12 & Midtown development, and a new dual branded Marriott Hotel product is scheduled to go up on 14th Street between the Four Seasons and the Marriott Suites Hotel.

Depending on how quickly this project moves forward, me may soon see another “Midtown Bird a.k.a. a construction crane” on the skyline.

We will keep you posted on this one!

Honeywell Home & Business Technologies HQ to Midtown Atlanta

by

midtown atlanta skyline Bank of AmericaWe are always excited when we hear of new corporate relocations to Midtown Atlanta. And the announcement that Honeywell is bringing their Home & Business Technologies HQ to Midtown is no exception!!!

Honeywell Home & Business Technologies HQ to Midtown Atlanta

Honeywell International announced on Monday that it’s Home & Business Technologies headquarters will move from Morris Plains, NJ, to Midtown Atlanta. The move, coupled with a “first-of-a-kind North American software development center,” will create about 800 jobs in Midtown Atlanta!

Midtown’s Bank of America building is said to be a favorite to land the project. As the Midtown center grows, they will develop aerospace, automation and control solutions software. (The Bank of America Building is the tall building in the center of the photo on the right!)

As these employees look to relocate from New Jersey to Atlanta, we are excited to help them find opportunities in Midtown Atlanta, and the surrounding communities. Midtown Atlanta is one of the most walkable locations to live in Atlanta! Honeywell employees will have numerous condominium and apartment buildings to choose from. Looking for a single family home? From Midtown, to Buckhead, Druid Hills, Brookhaven, or Chamblee..there are lots of choices.

If looking to be near MARTA transit, which the North Avenue station is just across the street from the B of A Building, then Buckhead, Brookhaven, Chamblee and Doraville are all great options to consider, depending on price, size and style of home you are looking for!

This is also great news for the Bank of America Building which has some empty floors to fill up!

Harry’s Caravaca Market To Open Spring 2017 at Trace Midtown

Harry’s Caravaca Market To Open Spring 2017 at Trace Midtown

Do you even remember when it looked like this?

Trace Midtown Peachtree 5th Street

Fast forward to 2016, and that green space that once was, has become Trace Midtown, an apartment building with 290 homes and a unique restaurant space that fronts Peachtree Street.

Caravaca Market will take that space, come Spring, 2017!! The restaurant/urban market concept will occupy some 5,981 sq.ft. and include an “urban market,” bakery, cafe, wine shop and craft beer bar. (This could be nice!) The restaurant is from chef and TV host, Harry Pagancross. 

This will certainly bring to life a dead block along Peachtree Street, although many dog walkers I’m sure are missing all that green space that once was. We’ll be looking for the opening of this space next year! Stay tuned!

Quik Trip Viewpoint Midtown Convenience Store Only

by

If you drive around metro Atlanta, the QuikTrip or QT sign is a very familiar gas station convenience store. It’s certainly my gas station of choice. Well…it looks like a Quik Trip Convenience Store – minus the gas is coming to Viewpoint Midtown! Seriously!!! We’ll be calling it QuikTrip Viewpoint Midtown!

Quik Trip Viewpoint Midtown Convenience Store Only

QuikTrip Viewpoint MidtownThe prominent retail corner in Viewpoint Midtown, at 6th and Peachtree Streets will soon premier a new concept for the company at the Midtown location. Similar to 7-Eleven stores, the “just-the-convenience-store” concept is something that QT has been working on in its long term strategy.

QuikTrip has launched a new version of its suburban gas/convenience stores that feature an in-store kitchen with breakfast sandwiches, pizza and other hot items. A conversation with an employee at a QT on Chamblee Tucker Road in Chamblee said the Midtown store should have the same thing.

What will be interesting to see, is what impact this has on the original go-to store, CVS Pharmacy, located just across the street. While they have more grocery-type items, certainly the offerings of a QuikTrip are sure to make a dent in the opening and closing of their front doors!

A pass by the location shows work well under way on the remodel of the space, said to be around 3,500 square feet.

A late spring/early summer opening is planned, and in QT fashion, the location is scheduled to be open 24 hours. A normal QT looks much like this….
