As 2021 draws to a close, Midtown’s status as a densifying boomtown within the city shows few signs of abating.
Indications are that three more high-rises could join Midtown’s “under construction” ranks soon. With planned heights between 26 and 61 stories, the projects would be located within a few blocks of each other, either on the rapidly developing West Peachtree Street corridor or just east of it.
This week all three proposals came before the Midtown Development Review Committee, an appointed board that vets proposals and provides recommendations to the city’s Office of Planning. The projects are: 80 Peachtree Place, which is a mixed-use, mostly office venture called Stratus Midtown. Plans call for 464,000 square feet (43,107 square meters) of offices over a parking podium. A second project is 887 West Peachtree Street, which will bring offices totaling 408,000 square feet (37,904 square meters) plus sidewalk retail. And the third is 1072 West Peachtree Street, which will deliver 350 market-rate apartments and 212,000 square feet (19,695 square meters) of offices.
