Dominion Pares Back Raleigh Highrise Plans
Dominion Pares Back Raleigh Highrise Plans
Dominion Realty Partners of Raleigh has submitted plans for the first phase of its Salisbury Square project, which is across from the Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts. The plans show a 7-story residential building with a connected parking deck.
The residential mid-rise tower will have 545 units, with an average size of 856 square feet per unit. The Triad Business Journal reports that Dominion Realty originally planned a 20-story mixed-use tower (photo) with 304 apartments, office and retail space for phase one but changed plans due to uncertainty in the office sector and financial markets.
For Salisbury Square, amenities for the 7-story building will include three courtyards, a swimming pool, club room, game room, fitness center and sky deck and lounge on the seventh floor.
In 2022, Dominion Realty acquired the site at 700 S. Salisbury St. for $35.5 million. An office building on the site was torn down in 2023 to make way for the development.

Atlanta Preferred by CRE Investors
A recent survey of commercial real estate investors ranked Atlanta as a top 10 target among U.S. metros. The market held its spot at #4 among the most attractive markets for investment in CBRE’s 2025 U.S. Investor Intentions Survey.
CBRE’s Shea Campbell added, “The metro’s diversity of educational institutions and employment sectors have driven population growth in recent years, as well as a flurry of multifamily development that peaked in mid-2024. These factors have paved the way for sustained leasing velocity and rent growth, increasing investor confidence for the foreseeable future.”
Investors are strategically focusing on gateway markets offering discounts and high-growth Sun Belt markets like Atlanta, which continues to draw interest due to its growth potential. Other Sun Belt markets that ranked in the top 10 include Raleigh-Durham, Austin, and Phoenix. Dallas maintained its position as the top market for investment for the fourth consecutive year, with Miami ranking second.

IPB, a subsidiary of Bosa Properties announced that on-site work is underway for the first of three towers of the Motley on its development at the site of Midtown’s former dairy factory.
The Nashville Post reports that the Motley will be built in three phases. The first phase will offer a 26-story residential tower with 326 units. It will have more than 14,000 square feet of ground-level retail, as well as an amenity level with a fitness center, dog run, golf simulator and pool.
The next two phases include two more residential towers, one standing 32 stories tall and the other height not yet determined. At completion, the project will include 1,197 units.
In 2022, IPB Properties paid a collective $80.7 million for the Midtown project site in separate transactions.
The land at 1401 Church St. was last home to the operation of dairy supplier Country Delite Farms, which Dairy Farmers of America shuttered in February 2022. A late 2027 completion is expected for the project.

Details, timeline revealed for downtown ATL’s ‘The Pitch’

Downtown Atlanta development hounds are familiar with The Stitch. Now, it’s time to meet “The Pitch.”
That’s the name developers and Invest Atlanta officials have bestowed upon a cleanup and activation project planned for a downtown architectural landmark that’s devolved over decades into one of the district’s most notorious eyesores.
According to an Invest Atlanta committee meeting agenda this week, the city’s economic development arm is planning a grant of up to $3.5 million from the Westside Tax Allocation District Ascension Fund to help set the rehabilitation of the long-vacant Atlanta Constitution Building at 143 Alabama St. in motion.
That landmark building will eventually be converted to 46 affordable housing units with 11,600 square feet of ground-floor commercial space where Alabama and Forsyth streets meet downtown. Invest Atlanta expects the conversion to cost $35.2 million overall.
But first, The Pitch.

In October, the agency selected Wisconsin-based affordable housing developer Gorman & Company to take on the Atlanta Constitution Building job, to eventually include new construction next door. Plans call for completing it in two phases.
The initial phase will see the stabilization and cleanup of the 1940s structure—plus “daylighting” of its ground-floor commercial space—to begin in May and finish a month before FIFA World Cup matches begin downtown in June 2026.
The Pitch, as it’s called, will enliven the space with cultural events and art activations related to World Cup hoopla. (A diagram included with Invest Atlanta paperwork shows a watch party screen, food trucks, DJ booth, kids play area, pavilion, and more positioned around the old building.) Other changes planned for the first phase call for the addition of digital signage.

Conversion of the Atlanta Constitution Building to affordable housing and commercial space will start in August 2026, within weeks of World Cup crowds clearing out, per Invest Atlanta. Plans call for one to three-bedroom units and amenities that include a computer center, community space, and an outdoor gathering area. A breakdown shows some one-bedroom apartments renting for as little as $518 a month.
According to the Invest Atlanta agenda, the conversion will be finished in February 2028.
“The building will be carefully preserved, ensuring that downtown Atlanta has a vibrant and unique architectural jewel where residents live and socialize,” notes the Invest Atlanta overview. “This deliberate redevelopment effort is expensive and exacting.”

After that, phase-two plans call for The Pitch’s open site to become a new building with 197 apartments, with all but seven of those reserved as affordable housing, per Invest Atlanta.
Gorman has designed the transit-oriented project to maximize federal and state historic tax credits, and the developer plans to submit a 9-percent low-income housing tax credit application in May, per the agency.
The new mid-rise apartment building would rise from a current parking lot along Ted Turner Drive, between Five Points and the under-construction Centennial Yards megaproject.
A rare example of Art Moderne-style architecture in the city, the original five-story, 95,000-square-foot structure was built in 1947 for the Atlanta Constitution newspaper, a predecessor to today’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution. That operation departed the building after just a few years.
Georgia Power moved in around 1953 but was gone in the early 1970s, leaving the property vacant ever since. In more recent years, metal shields were placed over windows to prevent encampments. At one point, trees sprouted from the roof.
Invest Atlanta’s quest to remake the landmark building has been a long time coming.
Following a lengthy Request for Proposals process in 2017, a new era for the Atlanta Constitution Building appeared to be dawning, as Invest Atlanta agreed to sell the property to developer Pope & Land, with Place Properties on board to erect a new residential building next door. That scheme wasn’t dissimilar to what Gorman is now proposing.
Initially, those earlier plans called for completing $24 million worth of construction in 2021, but the deal never closed, and redevelopment efforts fizzled.
Companies that responded to the most recent RFP were evaluated on their financial capacity, experience and qualifications, feasibility of their proposal, and redevelopment vision and approach.

In selecting Gorman, Invest Atlanta officials pointed to the company’s swifter, in-house design capabilities and 40 years of experience with historic preservation and downtown revitalization, as well as mixed-use, affordable and workforce housing development. Gorman also “proposed the most advantageous offer or deal structure as a financial partner in the redevelopment,” officials noted at the time.
Gorman has been on a building spree at sites around Atlanta in recent years, debuting its first project in Westview and another near MARTA’s Hamilton E. Holmes station in 2024. Another Gorman development with an adaptive-reuse component, Sweet Auburn Grande, has broken ground, while another proposal near Mall West End has more recently entered the pipeline.

For two-tower Midtown development, fresh visuals, official name emerge

For two-tower Midtown development, fresh visuals, official name emerge
Josh Green

A two-tower project that’s marking the largest mixed-use addition to Atlanta’s epicenter for high-rise growth this year is coming into clearer focus.
Charleston-based Middle Street Partners today released fresh renderings and announced the official name(s) of a Juniper Street development that’s been closely watched since it broke ground in the summer of 2022, replacing a row of longstanding businesses.
Middle Street and its co-developers AECOM-Canyon Partners predict the project, situated just west of Piedmont Park, will “transform Midtown Atlanta” while becoming one of the city’s “most prestigious residential addresses,” per today’s announcement.
Each 1081 Juniper St. tower will have its own name—the taller north tower is The Juniper, while the other is officially called The Reserve at Juniper—and different concepts that stress upscale, highly amenitized, market-rate urban living.
With 320 units in 37 stories, the taller Juniper building will see the full top floor dedicated to programmable amenity spaces, with a hot yoga studio, coworking suites, and a large fitness center. What’s described as “enriched private club service offerings, with every detail thoughtfully curated” will also be offered in the building, according to Middle Street.

The Reserve at Juniper, meanwhile, is leaning more boutique, with 167 apartments in 34 stories, all “designed for the ultimate luxury living.” That means large floorplans with top-flight finishes, a private rooftop pool, a cold plunge, salt and infrared saunas, and five-star services for tenants, per the development team.
Leasing for both buildings is slated to begin this spring. We asked today for information on rent prices and the size of floorplans and were told it’s too soon to release that information.
At street level, two 5,000-square-foot retail spaces are being built at the bases of both buildings, wrapping 11th and 12th streets’ corners.

The Atlanta-based Brock Hudgins firm has served as project architect—both bronze-clad towers are intended to “bring warmth and beauty to the Midtown skyline,” per today’s announcement—while Naples, Fla.-based CID Design Group handled interior and brand designs. The nature-inspired interiors nod to Atlanta’s signature park nearby.
“We believe Midtown Atlanta, specifically the area adjacent to Piedmont Park, is the most dynamic submarket in the Southeast,” Ed Alexander, a Middle Street development partner, said in a prepared statement. “We set out to create a residential destination befitting the neighborhood and an addition to the skyline that will stand the test of time.”
Both towers along Juniper Street were topped out by last summer.
The buildings that had housed two Midtown drinking and dining staples at the site—Einstein’s and Joe’s on Juniper—were razed in 2022, along with neighboring bungalows that’d been reshaped as businesses. The Metrotainment Cafes concepts, both hubs for Atlanta’s LGBTQ community, had operated on the block since the 1990s.
Elsewhere in Atlanta, Middle Street has started delivering its flatiron-shaped 400 Bishop development near Atlantic Station’s Target in Loring Heights, with 274 apartments in the pipeline there. And the company’s debut project in the city—the 323-unit The Boulevard at Grant Park—opened in 2023 along a stretch of the Beltline’s Southside Trail corridor now closed for construction. A new Mellow Mushroom prototype overlooking the Beltline has opened at that project’s base.

For Midtown, the two-pronged Juniper Street project will continue a building spree that’s stretched for a dozen years now.
According to current construction schedules, Midtown is expected to pack on another 15,000 square feet of retail space and nearly 1,100 more apartments between spring and fall this year, as “the [district’s] momentum continues to surge,” per a 2025 outlook recently compiled by Midtown Alliance.

For two-tower Midtown development, fresh visuals, official name emerge

A two-tower project that’s marking the largest mixed-use addition to Atlanta’s epicenter for high-rise growth this year is coming into clearer focus. Charleston-based Middle Street Partners today released fresh renderings and announced the official name(s) of a Juniper Street development that’s been closely watched since it broke ground in the summer of 2022, replacing a row of longstanding businesses. Middle Street and its co-developers AECOM-Canyon Partners predict the project, situated just west of Piedmont Park, will “transform Midtown Atlanta” while becoming one of the city’s “most prestigious residential addresses,” per today’s announcement. Each 1081 Juniper St. tower will have its own name—the taller north tower is The Juniper, while the other is officially called The Reserve at Juniper—and different concepts that stress upscale, highly amenitized, market-rate urban living. With 320 units in 37 stories, the taller Juniper building will see the full top floor dedicated to programmable amenity spaces, with a hot yoga studio, coworking suites, and a large fitness center. What’s described as “enriched private club service offerings, with every detail thoughtfully curated” will also be offered in the building, according to Middle Street.
