Awesome picture james2390! Atlanta lights up so well!

james2390 · April 7th, 2005, 07:46 PM

Agreed. That looks like the old C&S on the left of the pic, but I don't think it's the correct location. Does anyone else know what that tower is?

^The picture was taken from the newer addition to the Georgian Terrace-I've got an interesting picture of the inside of that glass cylinder, I'll try to post it tomorrow. The Ponce is the building in the lower left corner.

james2390 · April 8th, 2005, 05:29 AM

^Cool, thanks. I was getting confused because it didn't look like it was in the right spot.

(four0four) · April 8th, 2005, 07:24 PM

The Georgian Terrace sat boarded up for years before a local developer found a partner to renovate the original building and construct the addition. I can't remember his name but, he also renovated Baltimore Row near Crawford Long and The Brookwood Exchange near (cleverly enough) Brookwood.

Question? I know where the Row is but where is the Brookwoood Exchange?

If you're heading north on Peachtree, its the second building on the left after Deering Road (Amtrak Station). Broodwood Exchange is light colored brick with a green tiled roof. It's interesting inside...it was a U-shaped building that was turned into a 4-sided courtyard with glass skylight - worth a look if you're in the neighborhood.

Cool building I have been inside on a few occasions.

300M Office-Hotel-Retail Project Gets Environmental Green Light
By Alex Finkelstein
Last updated: April 22, 2005 11:22am

ATLANTA-Barry Real Estate Co. plans to break ground April 26 on 55 Allen Plaza, the second 346,000-sf office phase of its planned $300-million, 1.8-acre Downtown office, retail, condominium and hotel complex. The 260,000-sf 30 Allen Plaza building was topped out this week. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources has conditionally approved the entire Allen Plaza project.

The state agency says the developer can go ahead with the three-building venture providing the firm first cleans up chemically hazardous portions at the site, four blocks from Centennial Olympic Park. Barry will also need to haul off tainted soil where a planned four-level underground parking structure will eventually be built, the agency says.

"We're thrilled to break ground on our second building at Allen Plaza so quickly after topping out the first tower," says Hal Barry, chairman, Barry Real Estate Cos. "This groundbreaking is a celebration of the bright future of Downtown Atlanta and the vision and momentum behind Allen Plaza.

"Our development represents a vibrant and tangible sign of progress for Downtown Atlanta."

Allen Plaza is being developed at the north end of the central business district where a Heineken billboard currently overlooks the Downtown Connector road. Allen Plaza is named for the late Atlanta Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. who guided the city through the civil rights period in the 1960s.

Southern Co.'s new headquarters will be a 14-story, 260,000-sf building Barry is building at 30 Allen Plaza. Southern has signed a 12-year, 130,000-sf lease at an estimated aggregate rent of $31.2 million, Downtown office brokers familiar with the project tell GlobeSt.com. Southern will be relocating from Richard Bowers & Co.'s 270 Peachtree St. Building where the utility company has been the anchor tenant since 1995, occupying 162,500 sf.

Barry has also signed Ernst & Young to an estimated 15-year, 135,000-sf lease at what will be the 55 Allen Plaza building. Ernst & Young will be moving from the Bank of America Tower in May 2007, as GlobeSt.com previously reported.

At a total 1.2 million sf, Allen Plaza will be metro's second largest office site next to the 55-story, 1.3-million-sf, 1,023-foot tall Bank of America Tower. Financing for the planned 250-room hotel at 45 Allen Plaza is in the preliminary stage. The total amount of retail to be developed is also being determined. At least 100 condominium units are also planned.

^Cool. Got any renderings?

Its not about me · April 26th, 2005, 12:51 AM

The Atlanta Business Chronicle has an article in their print edition this week on a new 24-story retirement center condo in Buckhead. This is an expansion of Lenbrook, and is proposed for the 3700 block of Peachtree Road. This is on the northern fringes of Buckhead, near the Dekalb County line.

Nick in Atlanta · April 26th, 2005, 01:23 AM

^Regarding Micropundit's post^

The Ernst & Young building will be breaking ground on Wednesday, April 27. As far as renderings go, I would assume it's going to look like the rendering that was on the front page of the AJC a few months ago, that showed all Barry's projects in Centennial Hill. I think I have a pic, which I'll try to post later.

Nick in Atlanta · April 26th, 2005, 05:00 AM

The building that's supposed to break ground this Wednesday is the 14 story building on the right side of this rendering. It has some lit up lettering on the top or roof of the building that says "Ernst & Young," which will be its primary tenant.

They may just be a little over-optimistic, but I have heard Barry say a couple times that they have several potential candidates lined up to anchor the larger tower and that it could come sooner rather than later. They may just be blowing smoke though.......

james2390 · April 26th, 2005, 02:15 PM

Wow, the metro's second largest office development? I wonder how that's going to go.

Nick in Atlanta · April 26th, 2005, 06:39 PM

I didn't realize that Barry developed the new Southern Power HQs. I knew about his 55 Allen project, but apparently that also includes the Southern Power building, too.

Does anyone have the surrounding streets for the E & Y building? Is it going to be Alexander (Allen Blvd) on the south end, Williams on the west side, Mills Street (or where Mills Street should run) on the north side, and Spring Street on the east side? The reason I'm asking is because I assumed that that city block was going to be shared with Barry's hotel project, which I assumed would take up the eastern half of the above described block.

I know. The last story I read about it gave me the impression that it was almost a certainty to start next year.
