Novare Looks to Build 23-Story Mixed-Use Project on 6th

According to draft agenda for next week’s Midtown Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting, a new application has been submitted for the construction of a mixed-use project located at the northwest corner of 6th and Juniper streets in Midtown.

The “Novare Residential” application calls for a 23-story building including ground floor retail and 320 residential units.

Parking will be in an adjacent deck at the southwest corner of 7th and Juniper streets according to the application.

The location currently is home to dilapidated structures that occupy a stretch of 6th Street between Peachtree and Juniper streets. It has been empty for more than five years since the property owners, Novare Group, told the owners of a several businesses such as Loca Luna and McCrays to relocate so it could construct its condo tower,.

Viewpoint is located on Peachtree Street between 6th and 7th streets. A representative for Novare Group could not be reached late Friday afternoon for comment.

What do you think of the news that Novare Group is finally looking to build on this property?
