Historic West Midtown Goat Farm Arts Center to be Redeveloped

March 25, 2019 by Thom Abbott

A significant redevelopment is scheduled for the Goat Farm Arts Center, an artist community tucked away in West Midtown that’s very well known for its creative tenants and 19th century warehouses.

The $55 million project would add apartments and artist studios to the roughly 10-acre complex, according to plans put forward to the Development Authority of Fulton County.

The proposal refers to for a four-story apartment building with 240 units, including up to 36 affordable units. The building would be a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. The project would also include about 50 commercial artist studios and a surface car park lot with 300 spaces.

The investment would come to an area where several of the buildings were originally constructed in the late 1800s, have slipped into a state of disrepair and are losing their functionality and ability to operate safely, says a fact sheet on the project.

The developer is Goat Farm Development LLC, an affiliate of TriBridge Residential, according to the Georgia Secretary of State’s office.

The proposal is scheduled to go before Fulton County’s development authority on March 26. The county will deal with whether to approve almost $2.8 million in property tax abatements over the next 10 years.

Atlanta Business Chronicle first learned of plans earlier this year when tenants said they were told to vacate the Goat Farm by the end of the year.

Sources told ABC that the Goat Farm will have to temporarily close during the redevelopment.

Anthony Harper of Hollister Property Development, which owns the Goat Farm, in February said he could not comment. Harper could not be immediately reached on March 21.

Ben Hautt, co-managing partner of Stream Realty, which has developed adaptive reuse projects including the Ellsworth in the Upper Westside, shared his confidence in a project at the Goat Farm.

” Anthony and the Goat Farm were pioneers and will continue to be,” Hautt told Atlanta Business Chronicle in an email. “Goat Farm was mixing the arts, loft space, and community strategy way ahead of everyone else. No doubt this new development will be prosperous, too.”

A redevelopment at the Goat Farm comes as property values in West Midtown continue to soar.

There’s more than a billion dollars worth of new projects in the pipeline for the area, said Jim Meyer, CEO of Atlantic Capital Properties, which is part of the development team for a $150 million project called 8West that’s bringing 175,000 square feet of office space.

“West Midtown is the place people want to be,” Meyer said.

Other big developments include Star Metals at Howell Mill, Brady Avenue and 11th, where coworking company Spaces signed a lease, and The Interlock, which landed WeWork.

AC/Moxy Hotel Midtown Atlanta Starts Vertical Climb

July 27, 2017 by Thom Abbott

Well gasp! Not EVERY crane in Midtown Atlanta is a rental apartment building. (Mind you that is probably 75-80% of them!) One of those cranes is on 14th Street and belongs to the AC/Moxy Hotel Midtown Atlanta! 

AC/Moxy Hotel Midtown Atlanta Starts Vertical Climb

Marriott AC Moxy Hotel Midtown AtlantaI think I missed getting photos of this parking lot before the construction started on the parking lot between the Four Seasons and the Marriott Suites hotel. But as Curbed Atlanta has reported, we are starting to see columns rise as this hotel gets under way! This unique hotel combo concept is being developed by Noble Investment Group and is a $70 million project!

As reported in the Atlanta Business Chronicle, this will be the first ever combination of the two hotels. The AC Hotel is a contemporary European-inspired property while Moxy is aimed at the Millennial traveler with lower priced rooms and smaller in size. AC will have 155 rooms and Moxy will be 133. 

Look to see guests checking into this cool space sometime in 2018. 

The hotels will share an amenity deck with a rooftop pool and bar! (I like the sounds of that…’cept for the hotel bar pricing?) Maybe it will be a new hot spot in Midtown! 

You can learn more about Moxy Hotels HERE! And you can see the long list of properties scheduled to open, including locations like Minneapolis, Denver, Nashville and Washington, DC…just to name a few!

Check out more information about AC Hotels HERE! Lots of locations in the U.S. including Phipps Plaza Buckhead and Downtown Atlanta for a local view. (Reminds me…I need to pop into one of these and do a follow up report, don’t I?)

Midtown to Add New Art Experiences

April 6, 2017 by Thom Abbott

Midtown to Add New Art ExperiencesYou have to love a neighborhood/community like Midtown! Always something about something, and new things coming for all angles. Now, let’s look a Midtown to Add New Art Experiences….

Spinning Rock to Spin Out of Town

The big spinning rock at the corner of 10th and Peachtree is about to make it’s exit to head Out West! For the last three years, the corner  has been a constant source of curiosity and amusement for all who discovered the 22,000 pound boulder that spins with a push. A new sculpture will arrive in June….no indication of what it will be…but it too will have a 3-year residency. 

Colony Square and the Creative Hive Experience

Leave it to North American Properties and it’s leader (Midtown resident Mark Toro) to take a space and shake it up! I’ve often thought that the Food/Retail Court of that building was so underused. Of course, we know that North American Properties has big plans for a remake of this iconic Midtown space. But until then, enter The artist community Hambidge Center.

Colony Square and Hambidge are providing artists twelve empty retail spaces to turn into art studios and performance spaces. Totally awesome!!!! Check out their website for what’s coming to this space!  

New Stuff at Arts Center Porch

Last year, Midtown Alliance worked in collaboration with the High Museum of Art, their artist-in-residence Jaime Hayon and MARTA to enhance its plaza-turned-“Porch” at Arts Center Station. Through the partnership, Midtown Alliance commissioned site-specific art inspired by exhibit “Tiovivo”, and added a public piano, seating, additional lighting, a bike repair station and Little Free Libraries. Building on The Porch’s success, Midtown Alliance is working again with the High Museum to bring Hayon’s new “Merry Go Zoo” piazza installation from The Woodruff Arts Center campus to Arts Center Station. Hayon is creating a custom, interactive “Shadowmaker” sculpture, featuring a bench base and topped with a hooded figure holding an umbrella-like shade. The sculpture will be installed in June, providing a whimsical focal point in the plaza as well as more seating and shade. Check here for updates on the new installation + events throughout the summer that will be hosted at “The Porch.”

(This paragraph is directly from the Midtown Alliance)

Come on out and see what Midtown is all about….and if you’d like to call Midtown Atlanta home…..
