West Midtown stakeholders have made the argument the best views of Atlanta’s skyline are in blocks around the Howell Mill Road corridor, just west of Georgia Tech.
That’s debatable, but if true, a new events venue that officially opens this week high over the Marietta Street Artery neighborhood is in luck.
Grand-opening festivities are planned Thursday for Summit at 8West, a versatile eighth-floor space that tops the 8West mixed-use complex at 889 Howell Mill Road.
According to operators West Midtown Ventures, the city’s newest rooftop venue is a sleek and modern space with “stunning skyline views” throughout and a “chic rooftop” above. It can seat up to 400 people for dinner, and all rentals include use of a private green room and VIP suite.
Proximity to Georgia Tech, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and other downtown attractions is called a perk of the location.

Full facility rentals start at $4,000 for four-hour slots between Sunday and Thursday, with $2,000 beverage minimums and other fees.
The 8West building delivered in summer 2020 as part of a pandemic-era investment surge around the Howell Mill Road and Marietta Street corridors.
According to developer Atlantic Capital Properties, the complex includes 175,000 square feet of offices and 10,000 square feet of retail space, plus 264 apartments and 680 parking spaces in a deck.

For West Midtown Ventures, Summit at 8West marks one of three new events spaces on tap in the general area.
The other two are called Collier Hall (located farther north on Howell Mill Road) and The Dogwood at Westside Paper (part of the adaptive-reuse project a few blocks from 8West).

Atlanta airport’s ‘ambitious’ expansion project enters next phase

Atlanta airport’s ‘ambitious’ expansion project enters next phase
Josh Green

The quest to make one of the tightest areas for travelers at the world’s busiest airport into a modernized, more efficient, and pleasant experience has marked a key milestone.
The widening of Concourse D—considered one of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport’s most ambitious expansion projects to date—began its second phase overnight by affixing another prefabricated section of the concourse to the narrow one that’s been in service for more than 40 years.
Launched in September 2023, the expansion project is using a unique building technique with prefabricated modules to modernize and widen the concourse while not disrupting operations for thousands of passengers who shuffle through per day.
Today, Concourse D is the airport’s narrowest and is “dramatically undersized,” with a circulation corridor between seating areas that’s just 18-feet wide, airport officials have said.
To expand the concourse while keeping it open, 19 modules are being built at a 6-acre modular construction lot adjacent to the airport, and then installed individually during quieter nighttime hours.

Between Tuesday night and this morning, a section known as Module 6 was transported from the modular yard and attached to Concourse D, marking the start of five-module phase two.
Concourse D was opened in 1980 at ATL’s Domestic Terminal as one of five original concourses.
The expansion will create what’s effectively a new concourse that allows the airport to meet future capacity demands, project leaders have said.
Airport officials say the concourse overhaul, once complete, will increase seating by 1,000 seats (up to 6,400) with hold rooms at twice their original size. It will expand the concourse width by 29 feet and ceiling height by 18 feet, allowing for more larger-capacity jets and boosting restrooms to twice their original size.

All told, the modernized Concourse D will have 75 percent more square footage for passenger boarding, according to project officials.
The concourse will expand from 60-feet wide today to nearly 100 feet overall.
Four more prefabricated modules are set to be moved into place by the end of this month. But according to airport officials, the project won’t be finished for more than three years, with an expected opening in summer 2029.

After two and ½ years of planning, demolition, and financing negotiations, Johns Creek’s long-held dream of building a city center is officially underway as of this week, according to city and development officials.
Atlanta-based Toro Development Company on Monday announced the groundbreaking—and set a firm grand-opening date—for the $560-million, 43-acre Medley district in the well-to-do north Fulton County city.
According to TDC officials, Medley marks one of the only mixed-use projects of such complexity and scale to break ground nationally this year, as a lending environment they described as “frigid” lingers.
Prior to this week’s groundbreaking, Medley has managed to sign leases with more than 25 brands, including the first OTP outposts for beloved intown food-and-beverage concepts. A 350,000-square-foot office building at the site previously occupied by State Farm Insurance Co. has also been razed, while a smaller, four-story office structure will be adaptively reused and woven into new streets and plazas.
According to TDC, Medley is now set to open on Oct. 29, 2026. It will claim a moribund site surrounded by (obviously) alluring demographics where Johns Creek Parkway meets McGinnis Ferry Road.

TDC head Mark Toro said Medley’s broader goal is to create a “third place” from a “dead, suburban office park” where people can socialize and enjoy life outside of work and home.
“Similar to bringing Avalon to life from the rubble of a long abandoned project,” said Toro in an announcement, “Medley will rise from a sea of empty buildings to become the walkable, urban oasis the Johns Creek community deserves.”
In November, Medley secured $560 million in financing despite the headwinds of tough capital markets as U.S. banks remain on the sidelines, especially for retail-heavy ventures, per TDC officials. Phase one funding includes a $158 million construction loan from Mexico City-based Banco Inbursa and an equity investment from Denver-based real estate private equity firm Ascentris.
The Johns Creek City Council in October unanimously approved plans for a 175-key Medley hotel that TDC hopes will replicate the success of Avalon’s hospitality component.
Beyond the hotel, phase one is set to include roughly 180,000 square feet for retail, restaurant, and entertainment spaces, a 25,000-square-foot plaza, and 100,000 square feet of offices.
Residential plans call for 133 Empire Communities-built townhomes and 340 apartments in the initial phase.
Once that opens, TDC plans to host 200 events per year, ranging from live music and outdoor wellness classes to art festivals and watch parties, officials have said.

In terms of food offerings, Medley’s phase one will include the first suburban locations of Fadó Irish Pub and Little Rey, a Mexican concept by chef and restaurateur Ford Fry. Other announced tenants include CRÚ Food & Wine Bar, 26 Thai Kitchen and Bar, Five Daughters Bakery, Summit Coffee, Lily Sushi Bar, Knuckies Hoagies, Cookie Fix, Sugarcoat Beauty, BODY20, and AYA Medical Spa, among other concepts.
All told, Medley is expected to create 900 residences considered luxury-grade (all townhomes and apartments), another 20,000 square feet of retail, and an Avalon-style central greenspace designed for community events and gatherings.
Should Johns Creek’s broader plans fully come to fruition, Medley will eventually be just one facet of the city’s 192-acre Town Center, a blend of housing, hotels, offices, lakes, and greenspace about the size of Piedmont Park.
Some aspects of that vision are under construction now.
“A Johns Creek town center was once considered little more than a dream,” Mayor John Bradberry said in this week’s announcement. “With Boston Scientific [life science facilities] almost complete, Creekside Park construction in full swing, and now the official launch of Medley as the premium mixed-use linchpin, our town center is quickly becoming a reality.”

“A Johns Creek town center was once considered little more than a dream,” Mayor John Bradberry said in this week’s announcement. “With Boston Scientific [life science facilities] almost complete, Creekside Park construction in full swing, and now the official launch of Medley as the premium mixed-use linchpin, our town center is quickly becoming a reality.”

‘Walkable, urban oasis’ in northern ‘burbs officially starts construction
Josh Green
Wed, 01/15/2025 – 12:42
After two and ½ years of planning, demolition, and financing negotiations, Johns Creek’s long-held dream of building a city center is officially underway as of this week, according to city and development officials.
Atlanta-based Toro Development Company on Monday announced the groundbreaking—and set a firm grand-opening date—for the $560-million, 43-acre Medley district in the well-to-do north Fulton County city.
According to TDC officials, Medley marks one of the only mixed-use projects of such complexity and scale to break ground nationally this year, as a lending environment they described as “frigid” lingers.
Prior to this week’s groundbreaking, Medley has managed to sign leases with more than 25 brands, including the first OTP outposts for beloved intown food-and-beverage concepts. A 350,000-square-foot office building at the site previously occupied by State Farm Insurance Co. has also been razed, while a smaller, four-story office structure will be adaptively reused and woven into new streets and plazas.
According to TDC, Medley is now set to open on Oct. 29, 2026. It will claim a moribund site surrounded by (obviously) alluring demographics where Johns Creek Parkway meets McGinnis Ferry Road.

TDC head Mark Toro said Medley’s broader goal is to create a “third place” from a “dead, suburban office park” where people can socialize and enjoy life outside of work and home.
“Similar to bringing Avalon to life from the rubble of a long abandoned project,” said Toro in an announcement, “Medley will rise from a sea of empty buildings to become the walkable, urban oasis the Johns Creek community deserves.”
In November, Medley secured $560 million in financing despite the headwinds of tough capital markets as U.S. banks remain on the sidelines, especially for retail-heavy ventures, per TDC officials. Phase one funding includes a $158 million construction loan from Mexico City-based Banco Inbursa and an equity investment from Denver-based real estate private equity firm Ascentris.
The Johns Creek City Council in October unanimously approved plans for a 175-key Medley hotel that TDC hopes will replicate the success of Avalon’s hospitality component.
Beyond the hotel, phase one is set to include roughly 180,000 square feet for retail, restaurant, and entertainment spaces, a 25,000-square-foot plaza, and 100,000 square feet of offices.
Residential plans call for 133 Empire Communities-built townhomes and 340 apartments in the initial phase.
Once that opens, TDC plans to host 200 events per year, ranging from live music and outdoor wellness classes to art festivals and watch parties, officials have said.

In terms of food offerings, Medley’s phase one will include the first suburban locations of Fadó Irish Pub and Little Rey, a Mexican concept by chef and restaurateur Ford Fry. Other announced tenants include CRÚ Food & Wine Bar, 26 Thai Kitchen and Bar, Five Daughters Bakery, Summit Coffee, Lily Sushi Bar, Knuckies Hoagies, Cookie Fix, Sugarcoat Beauty, BODY20, and AYA Medical Spa, among other concepts.
All told, Medley is expected to create 900 residences considered luxury-grade (all townhomes and apartments), another 20,000 square feet of retail, and an Avalon-style central greenspace designed for community events and gatherings.
Should Johns Creek’s broader plans fully come to fruition, Medley will eventually be just one facet of the city’s 192-acre Town Center, a blend of housing, hotels, offices, lakes, and greenspace about the size of Piedmont Park.
Some aspects of that vision are under construction now.

Warehouse Developer Buys 66 Acres near NE Georgia Inland Port
Warehouse Developer Buys 66 Acres near NE Georgia Inland Port
Alliance Industrial Company purchased 66.75 acres of land near the Northeast Georgia Inland Port in Gainesville, Georgia. The company will develop two speculative industrial buildings totaling 540,408 square feet. Building 100 will be 113,536 square feet and Building 200 will be 426,872 square feet. The park will be named Alliance 985 Business Park.
Avison Young’s Chris Hoag, Jason Holland, and Andrew Joyner arranged the transaction on behalf of Alliance and have been tapped to handle leasing. Stephen Lovett and Zach Tibbs of Norton Commercial represented one of the four parcels of land.
Alliance will break ground on the project in Q1 2025 and is slated to deliver in early 2026. With immediate access to I-985 and within 15 miles of I-85, the park offers excellent connectivity to local, regional, and national distribution channels. Tenants will benefit from proximity to key logistics hubs such as UPS and FedEx.

Mall West End to Close, Owners Reveal Renovations Plans
Mall West End to Close, Owners Reveal Renovations Plans
BRP Companies and The Prusik Group have updated their plans for the Mall West End property after it shuts down. With the mall set to officially close at the end of January, the development team has been working with legacy tenants to ensure that the uniqueness of the West End is preserved and upheld throughout the transformation.
During construction, several long-standing mall tenants will be relocated to a temporary on-site space at 850 Oak Street.
Once complete, One West End will feature 125,000 square feet of retail, including a grocery store, fitness center, diverse dining options, and local boutiques. The residential component will feature approximately 900 mixed-income residences, a mix of studio to three-bedroom units, with affordable units available to those earning between 50% and 80% of the area median income (AMI). Additionally, the development includes student housing, a planned 150-key hotel, and 12,000 square feet of medical office space.
Phase One of the redevelopment is expected to be completed in 2028.

In the shadow of Atlantic Station, a wedge-shaped apartment venture several years in the making has begun leasing efforts where other developments failed to take off.
The infill project by Charleston-based Middle Street Partners—now officially christened “Westside Union”—has taken shape on a previously vacant, 1.4-acre site just north of Atlantic Station’s Target in the Loring Heights neighborhood.
With its unique flatiron design, the 400 Bishop St. development stands 11 stories on land formerly zoned for heavy industrial uses, next to active Norfolk Southern railroad lines.
The project started construction in September 2022 and will deliver 274 units, ranging from one to three-bedroom apartments, according to Middle Street.

Several outdoor amenities areas extend from Westside Union’s north and east faces, and units along Bishop Street at ground level will function as live-work properties, according to plans approved by the city in 2021.
Westside Union amenities are listed as coworking space, a two-story gym, a club room with a gaming area, and a resort-style pool, among other perks. Skyline views from the rooftop amenity spaces, meanwhile, span across Midtown to downtown and around toward Buckhead.
Current rents at Westside Union start at $1,675. That gets a studio (with relatively private sleeping quarters) in 535 square feet.
On the flipside, the largest and priciest rental option currently listed is a three-bedroom, three-bathroom space in 1,709 square feet. That’s going for $3,895 monthly.
Two months of free rent is being dangled as an incentive.

Elsewhere in Atlanta, Middle Street’s debut project in the city is a mixed-use apartment venture fronting the Beltline’s Southside Trail corridor in Grant Park, where a Mellow Mushroom prototype opened last month.
The company is also building two Midtown towers—topped out at 37 and 34 stories, respectively, in a single project—on the former site of longstanding establishments Einstein’s and Joe’s On Juniper. Apartments on Juniper Street are scheduled to start delivering early this year, officials have said.
Other ideas hatched for the 400 Bishop St. site failed to move forward. (Ditto for a pedestrian bridge that would have been built over the adjacent railroad tracks for quicker access between Loring Heights and Atlantic Station.)
Plans that emerged in 2019 by another development group, Track West Partners, called for 130,000 square feet of creative offices above retail in a shorter building.
Other concepts have called for just 26,000 square feet of offices in four stories, with a “post-COVID-era wellness plan” and emphasis on city views.
