Atlantans arriving in Savannah for the first time in a while might find themselves doing a double take—and wondering if they aren’t on Spring Street in Midtown.
Maybe that’s a stretch, but one of the newest and tallest landmarks on the Hostess City of the South’s skyline does appear a copy + paste job by a leading Georgia university known for creativity. At least from a distance.
The 640 Indian St. tower in question is a Savannah College of Art and Design project called, simply, River. When it opened during the spring semester, SCAD officials described it as a “monumental” and “spectacular” residence hall with “breathtaking views of the mighty Savannah River and gloriously sprawling Lowcountry beyond.”
What wasn’t mentioned is that it looks strikingly similar to SCAD’s Forty building in Atlanta, the first phase of the school’s considerable recent growth spurt just east of the downtown Connector freeway.
The 17-story River project opened earlier this year as a hive for up to 800 SCAD bees. Josh Green/Urbanize Atlanta

In Savannah, the 17-story student housing building stands a couple of blocks west of adaptive-reuse Plant Riverside and the most bustling stretches of famed River Street. The (post) industrial area counts attractions like Service Brewing Co. and an influx of multifamily development that includes projects such as Olmsted Savannah. It’s changed a lot in a decade.
Both the Savannah and Atlanta buildings share a similar paint scheme and modern aesthetic, with a white, slightly askew top-floor event space set atop the buildings like the world’s largest crooked shipping containers.
But upon closer examination, the Savannah project is actually much larger than ATL’s: three floors taller with more than 200 additional student beds, for a total of 800 homes for coastal SCAD bees. It’s also L-shaped, versus Forty’s rectangular form. Plus way more palm trees.
We reached out this week to SCAD officials to learn additional ways in which the buildings are similar, or different, but have yet to hear back.
Savannah news station WTOC-TV reported when construction ramped up in 2022 the project was an effort by SCAD to ensure that at least 50 percent of the student population lives on campus (classroom buildings are nearby) by 2025, and to alleviate parking issues in the area.

Another TV station, WSAV, relayed in April the building had instantly become polarizing among students, who either applauded its contemporary design or felt it clashed with Savannah’s more fanciful, historic aesthetic. One student opined: “I feel like it kinda sticks out like a sore thumb.”

RXR Launches 1,100 Acre Apex Mixed-Use Community
RXR Launches 1,100 Acre Apex Mixed-Use Community
RXR has broken down on its first project within the 1,100-acre Veridea mixed-use community in Apex. Phase I of Veridea will include approximately 1,500 multifamily units, 1,100 single-family homes and townhomes built by Lennar Homebuilders, 150,000 square feet of retail, restaurants, and commercial space, 213,000 square feet of industrial, and a new 340,000 square foot campus for Wake Tech Community College.
The community is expected to bring more than 2,300 annual jobs to Apex over the next decade of development. Samet Corporation began construction of Phase I of the $3 billion project, with major clearing, site work and infrastructure work.
Veridea is located two miles south of historic downtown Apex. Upon completion, the mixed-use development is envisioned to include up to 8,000 residential units, up to 3.5 million square feet of retail, hospitality, and civic space, up to 12 million square feet of commercial space, a new Wake County Public School System elementary school and the newest campus for Wake Technical Community College.

Avondale Estates launches ‘tactical urbanism’ work to slow drivers down
Avondale Estates launches ‘tactical urbanism’ work to slow drivers down
Avondale Estates launches ‘tactical urbanism’ work to slow drivers down
Josh Green

As with other pockets of ITP Atlanta, the City of Avondale Estates has started deploying inventive, relatively low-cost measures as a means of slowing drivers down and boosting safety for non-motorists.
Work began this week on a “tactical urbanism” initiative called the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Project on two busy Avondale Estates streets as a means of calming driver speeds and deterring cut-through traffic in residential neighborhoods, according to city officials.
Phase one is focused on stretches of South Avondale Road and Kensington Road near the city’s growing commercial district.
Those streets were picked, according to a city study, because they’re ideal for bike routes, have been a hotspot for resident complaints about driver speed, and are natural cut-throughs.
Traffic-calming measures the city is implementing include new crosswalks and stop signs, parking for bikes and golf carts, and lane shifts, among other changes.
Scope of work for the initial phase of the recently launched Neighborhood Traffic Calming Project. Painted chicanes are defined as “an artificial narrowing or turn on a road.”City of Avondale Estates
The work is considered a pilot project and short-term test case that could convince city leaders to make more permanent investments in street alterations such as curbs and drainage infrastructure in the future.
As with all tactical urbanism efforts, the project is considered relatively cheap, consisting of new paint, a few vertical additions such as stop signs, and bollards (or short posts that thwart car travel).
All of the above could also be easily removed should that need arise, per the city.
Other examples of tactical urbanism have popped up in recent years across Atlanta. Those include a street mural project in Adams Park, parklets in former parking spaces in Midtown, and more recently, a citizen-organized, traffic-calming initiative on what neighbors call a Monroe Drive “drag strip,” among other projects.
In Avondale Estates, once phase one of the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Project wraps, city officials plan to evaluate the timeline and costs for installing additional phases.

At cusp of Piedmont Park, yet another development concept emerges
At cusp of Piedmont Park, yet another development concept emerges
At cusp of Piedmont Park, yet another development concept emerges
Josh Green
Wed, 12/04/2024 – 13:50
Perhaps, in the case of this Midtown corner, the third time will indeed be a charm?
Across the street from a main Piedmont Park entrance, an assemblage of properties has recently come to market at 1084 Piedmont Ave. where two earlier redevelopment concepts with food-and-beverage components did not come to fruition in the growing neighborhood.
It’s a rare case of property along the western flank of Atlanta’s signature park that isn’t already activated with retail or fully built out with residential uses.
Situated at the northwest corner of Piedmont Avenue and 12th Street, across the street from a Shake Shack and Willy’s Mexicana Grill, the property continues to be marketed as 12th & Everything.
According to its new JLL listing, the property’s sale would include two commercial buildings: a 2,400-square-foot brick structure that dates back to around 1930, and a corner building from 1948 with 1,372 square feet.
JLL/12th & Everything
The latter building is where Skate Escape—the oldest roller skate and skateboard shop in Atlanta—had operated since 1979 but shuttered a couple of years ago as its owners retired.
Back in 2022, DAS BBQ unveiled designs for converting the corner building to its third Atlanta location, complete with a rooftop hangout, but those plans fizzled.
More recently, an adaptive-reuse, retro-style makeover that would have turned the building into Old Sol Coffee came before Midtown Alliance in August. But according to JLL’s listing, that concept is also off the table, though previous plans drafted by the seller could be included with a sale, per JLL.

An asking price for the .31-acre property isn’t listed. We’ve reached out to JLL brokers for that information and other details regarding the previous coffee shop concept, and we’ll update this story should any additional intel come.
The property’s current zoning—Special Public Interest District 17, Piedmont North Subarea—would allow for a mix of both commercial and residential uses, whether it be adaptive-reuse “thoughtful renovations” or starting from a blank slate to build a boutique luxury community, per JLL.

That could entail a “very high end” townhome or condo project of up to 20,000 square feet at the park’s “front gate,” per the sellers.
Zoning would otherwise allow for up to 5,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space.

Back in 2022, DAS BBQ unveiled designs for converting the corner building to its third Atlanta location, complete with a rooftop hangout, but those plans fizzled.
More recently, an adaptive-reuse, retro-style makeover that would have turned the building into Old Sol Coffee came before Midtown Alliance in August. But according to JLL’s listing, that concept is also off the table, though previous plans drafted by the seller could be included with a sale, per JLL.

An asking price for the .31-acre property isn’t listed. We’ve reached out to JLL brokers for that information and other details regarding the previous coffee shop concept, and we’ll update this story should any additional intel come.
The property’s current zoning—Special Public Interest District 17, Piedmont North Subarea—would allow for a mix of both commercial and residential uses, whether it be adaptive-reuse “thoughtful renovations” or starting from a blank slate to build a boutique luxury community, per JLL.

That could entail a “very high end” townhome or condo project of up to 20,000 square feet at the park’s “front gate,” per the sellers.
Zoning would otherwise allow for up to 5,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space.

At cusp of Piedmont Park, yet another development concept emerges
Josh Green

Perhaps, in the case of this Midtown corner, the third time will indeed be a charm?
Across the street from a main Piedmont Park entrance, an assemblage of properties has recently come to market at 1084 Piedmont Ave. where two earlier redevelopment concepts with food-and-beverage components did not come to fruition in the growing neighborhood.
It’s a rare case of property along the western flank of Atlanta’s signature park that isn’t already activated with retail or fully built out with residential uses.
Situated at the northwest corner of Piedmont Avenue and 12th Street, across the street from a Shake Shack and Willy’s Mexicana Grill, the property continues to be marketed as 12th & Everything.
According to its new JLL listing, the property’s sale would include two commercial buildings: a 2,400-square-foot brick structure that dates back to around 1930, and a corner building from 1948 with 1,372 square feet.
