After breaking ground in early 2022, an increasingly rare new office high-rise has officially delivered in Midtown, offering what Portman officials call the design, quality, and feel of top-flight hotels the company has developed for decades around the world.

Situated between Spring Street and the downtown Connector, the Ten Twenty Spring tower (formerly 1020 Spring) stands 25 stories as the latest and final piece (for now) of current development at Portman’s Spring Quarter complex, which has transformed a full city block while keeping a historic, landmark structure at its core.  

Portman officials call the glass-clad, Class A office high-rise a first for Atlanta, in that it features immense floor plates like blank canvases spanning 32,000 square feet or more, wrapped with 10-foot-tall windows designed to frame skyline views from floors to ceilings.

Beyond its forthcoming restaurants, the building’s perks include 15,000 square feet of private terraces for tenants seeking fresh air in a post-pandemic world.

The amenity sections for tenants span another 20,000 square feet and include a lounge, indoor-outdoor bar, skyline views around the city, and 10,000 square feet of greenspace.

Portman built Ten Twenty Spring on spec, meaning without an anchor tenant in place. Company officials told the AJC no office tenants have been signed, and that monthly rents are expected to command between the high $40s and low $50s per square foot.  

No other office building in the Atlanta market “offers a more integrated, activated, and amenitized office experience in a mixed-use setting, and there won’t be [one] for several years,” Travis Garland, Portman managing director, said in an announcement.

“As demand returns,” Garland continued, “particularly for new-to-market deals with large-block requirements, we know that prospects will see the competitive advantages of officing in Spring Quarter’s modern and energetic mixed-use environment.”

The Portman venture isn’t the only large office project that’s come together around the city and inner suburbs this year.

Others include Georgia Tech’s Science Square lab tower (370,000 square feet), Dunwoody’s Campus 244 initial phase (405,000 square feet), and the new national headquarters for Truist Securities (250,000 square feet) at The Battery Atlanta, just outside the Braves stadium.

But at roughly 530,000 square feet, Portman’s Ten Twenty Spring is firmly the largest among them.

On the building’s restaurant front, a Japanese modern concept from esteemed Chef Fuyuhiko Ito called Sozou is on pace to open on the ground floor next summer. That team also plans to open an eighth-floor rooftop concept called Omakase by Ito.

As for the rest of the multifaceted Spring Quarter project, Portman officials relayed this week that Sora, the 370-unit luxury apartment tower standing 30 stories over 10th Street, is now 94 percent leased, after opening last fall.

A celebrated contemporary Mexican restaurant from Louisiana, Habaneros, is now on pace to open in a large corner retail space at Sora’s ground level next spring, according to Portman officials. Atlanta-based cardio concept Pepper Boxing has claimed another street-level space. 

The historic H.M. Patterson mortuary gardens, situated at the heart of Spring Quarter, is open to the public and future office tenants, with patios and paseos designed to weave the landmark property into entries for the new towers around it.

Steve Palmer, an Atlanta native and founder of The Indigo Road Hospitality Group, was revealed last year as the restaurateur who will lease and transform all 24,000 square feet of the historic H.M. Patterson Home and Gardens mortuary into what’s been described as a morning-to-night, food-and-beverage destination with multiple facets, set to open next year.

Indigo Road is the Charleston-based company behind local concepts such as West Midtown’s O-KU, Avalon’s Oak Steakhouse, and Colony Square’s Sukoshi.

Fresh visuals, pricing emerge for Midtown’s newest high-rise

Fresh visuals, pricing emerge for Midtown’s newest high-rise

Two years after it broke ground, a high-rise project that filled a long-festering void in Midtown’s urban fabric is expected to start opening its apartments next week.

Fresh visuals and initial rent prices have recently emerged for 32-story Modera Parkside, the latest of a dozen mixed-use and multifamily projects in metro Atlanta put together by developer Mill Creek Residential.

The building is delivering 361 units and a retail space to 180 10th St., about two blocks from Piedmont Park.

According to marketing materials, up to three months of free rent is being dangled as an incentive (like the sky-high amenities) to call Modera Parkside home. No apartments higher than the 20th floor, including penthouses, are currently available, as construction continues.

Apartments range from studios to three-bedrooms with dens. The larger offerings will include penthouses on top floors with what developers have described as preserved and unencumbered views of Atlanta’s skyline and Piedmont Park “on the very edge of high-rise zoning.” The earliest availability listed is Dec. 13.

According to current listings, Modera Parkside rentals start with 560-square-foot studios asking $1,794 per month and up.

One-bedroom options with about 40 more square feet start at $2,117 monthly right now.

The least expensive two-bedroom apartments in the building (946 square feet) begin at $3,025 monthly, while three-bedroom options (1,405 square feet) are asking from $4,050 per month.

The latest exterior designs for the building are a departure from those unveiled in 2022. Tall stripes of color run up the east façade (facing Piedmont Park) as a nod to Midtown’s nearby Rainbow Crosswalk, while a mural is planned for the opposite side of the building’s base that’s not shown in renderings.  

The new design also includes Modera branding a few stories over 10th street—and a gentle redesign of the white parking podium façade around it, according to revised visuals in marketing materials.

Elsewhere, plans for the Modera Parkside amenities package include two lounges on the 30th floor, a rooftop pool deck and gym with wide skyline views, a Full Swing Golf Simulator, fire pits high off the street, valet dry cleaning, coworking stations, a cybercafe, EV charging stations, a game room with foosball and shuffleboard, and bike storage, plus dedicated dog runs and a pet spa.

According to Midtown Alliance, the building will also include 451 parking spaces.

At street level, expect 3,400 square feet of retail for what’s been described as a signature restaurant with outdoor seating along 10th Street. The intent is to add life to what was a blank spot on the otherwise vibrant street for ages.

Modera Parkside broke ground in fall 2022 at a site that had been a fenced-off hole since the Great Recession, when a 19-story condo proposal called Onyx was hit with a lawsuit and ultimately failed to take off.

The Midtown tower joins another Modera-branded complex near the Beltline in Reynoldstown, a two-phase project in Buckhead, and Modera Decatur as Mill Creek’s latest finished ITP endeavors. Elsewhere, the company has started work on a 402-unit community called Modera Southside Trail in Peoplestown, as Modera Westside Trail in English Avenue recently began topping out.

Mill Creek also built the highly amenitized, 29-story Modera Midtown on 8th Street near the downtown Connector seven years ago.

Project officials have previously said Modera Parkside is on pace to finish construction in the third quarter of 2025.

Elsewhere, plans for the Modera Parkside amenities package include two lounges on the 30th floor, a rooftop pool deck and gym with wide skyline views, a Full Swing Golf Simulator, fire pits high off the street, valet dry cleaning, coworking stations, a cybercafe, EV charging stations, a game room with foosball and shuffleboard, and bike storage, plus dedicated dog runs and a pet spa.

According to Midtown Alliance, the building will also include 451 parking spaces.

At street level, expect 3,400 square feet of retail for what’s been described as a signature restaurant with outdoor seating along 10th Street. The intent is to add life to what was a blank spot on the otherwise vibrant street for ages.

Modera Parkside broke ground in fall 2022 at a site that had been a fenced-off hole since the Great Recession, when a 19-story condo proposal called Onyx was hit with a lawsuit and ultimately failed to take off.

The Midtown tower joins another Modera-branded complex near the Beltline in Reynoldstown, a two-phase project in Buckhead, and Modera Decatur as Mill Creek’s latest finished ITP endeavors. Elsewhere, the company has started work on a 402-unit community called Modera Southside Trail in Peoplestown, as Modera Westside Trail in English Avenue recently began topping out.

Mill Creek also built the highly amenitized, 29-story Modera Midtown on 8th Street near the downtown Connector seven years ago.

As seen in years past, the vacant 10th Street site had been surrounded with plywood walls for years. Google Maps

Project officials have previously said Modera Parkside is on pace to finish construction in the third quarter of 2025.

Fresh visuals, pricing emerge for Midtown’s newest high-rise

Josh Green

Tue, 12/03/2024 – 08:11

Two years after it broke ground, a high-rise project that filled a long-festering void in Midtown’s urban fabric is expected to start opening its apartments next week.

Fresh visuals and initial rent prices have recently emerged for 32-story Modera Parkside, the latest of a dozen mixed-use and multifamily projects in metro Atlanta put together by developer Mill Creek Residential.

The building is delivering 361 units and a retail space to 180 10th St., about two blocks from Piedmont Park.

According to marketing materials, up to three months of free rent is being dangled as an incentive (like the sky-high amenities) to call Modera Parkside home. No apartments higher than the 20th floor, including penthouses, are currently available, as construction continues.

Apartments range from studios to three-bedrooms with dens. The larger offerings will include penthouses on top floors with what developers have described as preserved and unencumbered views of Atlanta’s skyline and Piedmont Park “on the very edge of high-rise zoning.” The earliest availability listed is Dec. 13.

According to current listings, Modera Parkside rentals start with 560-square-foot studios asking $1,794 per month and up.

One-bedroom options with about 40 more square feet start at $2,117 monthly right now.

The least expensive two-bedroom apartments in the building (946 square feet) begin at $3,025 monthly, while three-bedroom options (1,405 square feet) are asking from $4,050 per month.

The latest exterior designs for the building are a departure from those unveiled in 2022. Tall stripes of color run up the east façade (facing Piedmont Park) as a nod to Midtown’s nearby Rainbow Crosswalk, while a mural is planned for the opposite side of the building’s base that’s not shown in renderings.  

The new design also includes Modera branding a few stories over 10th street—and a gentle redesign of the white parking podium façade around it, according to revised visuals in marketing materials.

Elsewhere, plans for the Modera Parkside amenities package include two lounges on the 30th floor, a rooftop pool deck and gym with wide skyline views, a Full Swing Golf Simulator, fire pits high off the street, valet dry cleaning, coworking stations, a cybercafe, EV charging stations, a game room with foosball and shuffleboard, and bike storage, plus dedicated dog runs and a pet spa.

Halcyon district lands ‘missing piece’ Trader Joe’s at 5-year anniversary

Five years after the $500-million Halcyon district began opening as a Forsyth County answer to Avalon’s success, project leaders say they’ve filled a crucial void by signing popular California-based grocer Trader Joe’s.

Halcyon developers RocaPoint Partners announced today Trader Joe’s will open a 13,500-square-foot store at the mixed-use hub, joining seven other locations dotted throughout metro Atlanta, including stores in Buckhead, Midtown, and Sandy Springs.

Trader Joe’s will occupy a building on a new flank of Halcyon along McFarland Parkway, near a recently opened Chick-fil-A and the Big Creek Greenway’s trailhead.

RocaPoint Partners principal Phil Mays called the grocery “the missing puzzle piece that fits right in, functioning as a vital service provider that helps to complete our district” in an announcement.

Trader Joe’s is considered part of the 135-acre Halcyon plan’s under-construction third phase. In addition to Chick-fil-A, retailers Five Guys, Chase Bank, and Chewy Vet Care have signed on for the next facet of development.

Halcyon initially broke ground in early 2016 with no public funding support.

Since then, it’s opened hundreds of housing units, added a mile of new trail connectivity to the Big Creek Greenway, preserved 50 acres of greenspace on the property, hosted more than 1,750 events, and tallied around 10 million visitors, according to RocaPoint Partners’ tabulations.

The project centerpiece is the Village Green (completed in phase one), which is surrounded by the six-stall Market Hall and local retailers such as Cherry Street Brewpub, CT Cantina & Taqueria, and Eclipse di Luna.

More recent additions include experiential retailers X-Golf and CMX Cinebistro, along with Embassy Suites by Hilton hotel and corporate tenants that include Morgan Stanley, which added 500 jobs to the district.

Atlantans considering closing out 2024 by partying in some other city might want to keep it local instead.

That’s one takeaway from a new analysis—the “Most Fun Cities in America” for 2024—by personal finance website WalletHub, which ranked ATL in the top five.

According to the study, Atlanta finished No. 4 among 180 cities when it comes to sheer variety of fun things to do, including options that won’t break the bank.

Only Las Vegas (No. 1), Orlando, and Miami, respectively, ranked higher.

Each city was evaluated on 65 key metrics across three categories: entertainment and recreation, nightlife and parties, and costs.

On a per capita basis, everything from beer halls, dance clubs, music venues, comedy clubs, movie theaters, hiking trails, playgrounds, and public park space was considered.

In terms of wallet consciousness, average beer and wine prices, restaurant meal costs, three-star hotel room prices, and general cost of living were taken into account, per WalletHub.

Atlanta shined in the nightlife and parties rank (No. 6) as well as entertainment and recreation (No. 8), but it was squarely in the bottom half (No. 124) when it comes to costs. WalletHub considered only the city proper in each case—and not the broader metro areas.

Their Top 10 lineup of most fun American cities right now looks like this:

Elsewhere in Georgia, Columbus (No. 123) and Augusta (No. 140) made the most-fun cut.

Thoroughly entertaining cities such as Savannah, Athens, and Decatur did not rank, but fear not! That’s because WalletHub’s rundown considered only the top 150 most populated cities in the country, plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state, with those being Columbus and Augusta, respectively, in Georgia’s case.

Atlantans considering closing out 2024 by partying in some other city might want to keep it local instead.

That’s one takeaway from a new analysis—the “Most Fun Cities in America” for 2024—by personal finance website WalletHub, which ranked ATL in the top five.

According to the study, Atlanta finished No. 4 among 180 cities when it comes to sheer variety of fun things to do, including options that won’t break the bank.

Only Las Vegas (No. 1), Orlando, and Miami, respectively, ranked higher.

Each city was evaluated on 65 key metrics across three categories: entertainment and recreation, nightlife and parties, and costs.

On a per capita basis, everything from beer halls, dance clubs, music venues, comedy clubs, movie theaters, hiking trails, playgrounds, and public park space was considered.

In terms of wallet consciousness, average beer and wine prices, restaurant meal costs, three-star hotel room prices, and general cost of living were taken into account, per WalletHub.

Atlanta shined in the nightlife and parties rank (No. 6) as well as entertainment and recreation (No. 8), but it was squarely in the bottom half (No. 124) when it comes to costs. WalletHub considered only the city proper in each case—and not the broader metro areas.

Their Top 10 lineup of most fun American cities right now looks like this:

Elsewhere in Georgia, Columbus (No. 123) and Augusta (No. 140) made the most-fun cut.

Thoroughly entertaining cities such as Savannah, Athens, and Decatur did not rank, but fear not! That’s because WalletHub’s rundown considered only the top 150 most populated cities in the country, plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state, with those being Columbus and Augusta, respectively, in Georgia’s case.
