Another corner of Midtown seems to be headed to the winds of change…..StreetLights Residential Proposes 26-story Tower at Juniper and 5th!!
First, to give you your bearings as to where we are talking about, take a look at the map to the right….
There may be one house in the blue square (at the bottom) that may not be part of the site.
This building will rise up some 299 “market-rate” residential units (would this mean a potential change to For Sale inventory would be possible?) over a seven-level parking deck to house some 568 parking spaces. It’s worthy to note that 150 spaces will be assigned to the adjacent St. Mark Church. There will also be a very modest 4,000 sq. ft of retail space.
The project went through the Midtown Alliance’s Midtown Development Review Committee this week. The DRC has some recommendations…
- Moving the retail space to the corner of Juniper and 5th to take advantage of the pedestrian traffic along 5th Street
- “strengthening the exterior design features” and work with the Atlanta City Design Studio due to the size of the building and the location next to the church.
Here is the initial drawing of the building….(dwarfs the church for sure!)
Currently on the site you will find….
The DRC report indicates the applicant will be back for another review after the above items have been addressed.
Stay tuned!
