100 6th Street: A Skyscraper Begins to Take Shape

The $63 million Midtown apartment high-rise will be a 23-story, 320-unit mixed-use project when complete.

Novare Group and Batson-Cook Development Co.'s planned skyscraper continues to take shape. The project, which broke ground in January will rise to 23 stories, 320 luxury apartments in a mixed use project. The project will cost about $63 million. Immovable media captured some of the recent construction work.

With the Atlanta Development Authority and the Development Authority of Fulton County, who "compete" for the right to dole out these tax abatements through the requisite complicity of the Fulton County Board of Assessors (whose Board members are probably getting brown paper bags stuffed with cash at the local Waffle House once a month for agreeing to this - a Fulton County tradition), it's all a …   more ›

Updated look to the '100 6th Street' parking deck

The $63 million Midtown apartment high-rise that recently broke ground has drawn critics for its parking deck design. Here's an updated look at the structure that will stretch along Juniper Street between 6th and 7th streets.

Last week, Midtown Patch posted an updated rendering of the 131 Ponce de Leon Avenue mixed-use project currently under construction in Midtown. Today, Patch is providing an updated rendering of the parking deck for the $63 million high-rise, 100 6th Street, that broke ground last month in Midtown along Juniper Street between 6th and 7th streets. When Patch was first to post renderings last spring, followers of the project were quite critical of the placement and look of the parking deck that will accompany the 23-story, 320-home high-rise apartment project from Novare Group and Batson-Cook Development Co. In the time since, the developers have added retail frontage the entire length of Juniper and 6th, and street-level retail turning the …

"When, exactly, was the last time Novare approached you about funding a project?" They never have. Likely because they know smart money doesn't play well with terrible developers. We've put funds into projects significantly larger than what Novare does, so it's certainly not a resources issue...   more ›

100 6th Street Breaks Ground Thursday

The $63 million Midtown apartment high-rise immediately creates hundreds of temporary construction jobs and will result in 80-100 long term positions once the 23-story, 320-unit mixed-use project is completed.

Novare Group and Batson-Cook Development Co. broke ground Thursday morning on a second environmentally friendly 23-story, 320-home luxury high-rise apartment community in Midtown. The $63 million high-rise 100 6th Street follows SkyHouse Midtown, which opened this month at the corner of West Peachtree and 12th streets. 100 6th Street will stand behind the existing 36-story Viewpoint condo tower. 100 6th Street, which will be built along Juniper Street, will have floor-to-ceiling glass, wood floors, granite countertops, and other features for which Novare Group has been known since the delivery of Metropolis in the summer of 2002. Similar to SkyHouse Midtown, 100 6th Street will have a “house” on the 23rd floor 230 feet above street level …

You just can't admit when you're wrong can you. Everybody here knows that Peachtree south of 10th is considered low rent compared to north of 10th. It doesn't matter who manages the viewpoint retail, no first rate retailer wants to be there. Your simple minds chalks it up to poor management from both novare and the new company. I chalk it up to your ignorance and uninformed opinions which mean …   more ›

Midtown on the Build: Too Many Apartments?

Immovable Media provides a video peek at the progress of a trio of Midtown apartment projects. 

This week, Midtown Patch looked at Midtown area apartment news with the developers behind Ponce City Market announcing they were shifting from condominiums to apartments and the 12th & Midtown development team acquiring more property in the heart of Midtown in anticipation of buidling more apartments. The SkyHouse Midtown apartment tower (320 units) and the nearby 77 12th apartment high-rise (330 units) are to be delivered this year. Also in 2013, the 100 6th Street apartment tower (320 units) and a mixed-use apartment project (280 units) on a 2.5-acre Midtown property off Ponce de Leon Avenue will break ground. Courtesy of Immovable Media, see the attached YouTube videos depicting a trio of these projects. And for more from Immovable …

I agree. There are a lot of retirees in Midtown. I meet them weekly, when our "kids" aka dogs, decide to stop and sniff each other, lol. I somehow find myself in deep conversation with them, and many of them have huge luxurious estates in another city, but also have a condo in Atlanta. I usually find that they are from other southern states and to them Atlanta is as big city as they want to get.   more ›

Midtown Flashback: The Crazy Moon Fun at Loca Luna

While the dilapidated former Loca Luna building along 6th Street is currently being demolished, let your mind wander back a decade or so when the Latin-inspired Midtown restaurant was among Atlanta's most popular nighttime spots.

There was a time not long ago that when the moon rose, crazy good times ensued at Loca Luna’s original Midtown location at 836 Juniper Street. The moon set several years on the Loca Luna party and the building that once housed one of Atlanta’s earliest tapas restaurants is almost a memory. An Atlanta favorite, Loca Luna was forced closed on Juniper in 2006 and moved to the Amsterdam Walk district as Novare Group moved in to erect its nearby condo tower, Viewpoint. Now the dilapidated former Loca Luna building along 6th Street between Peachtree and Juniper streets is currently in the process of being demolished to make way for another Novare and Batson-Cook Development Company project, a 23-story 320-unit luxury apartment tower known as 100…

'100 6th Street' apartment tower to break ground in January

The city’s economic development arm, Invest Atlanta, announced late this week the approval of tax abatements worth about $3 million for the $63 million mixed-use project that is expected to be completed by late 2013.

The Novare Group and the Batson-Cook Development Company have made it official in stating they will begin next month to build a 23-story 320-unit luxury apartment tower in Midtown known as 100 6th Street. The $63 million mixed-use project will stand behind the existing 36-story Viewpoint condo tower and five percent of its units will be offered as affordable housing. The city’s economic development arm, Invest Atlanta, announced late this week the approval of tax abatements worth about $3 million for the project that is expected to be completed by late 2013. Novare President Jim Borders said he hopes the affordable component of the apartment tower would be enticing to police officers, firefighters, and educators. Invest Atlanta’s Brian …

To the people who are not from Atlanta, midtown is their version of a wannabe NYC. To those of us who are native Atlantans, midtown will always be a ghetto filled with hood rats and homeless people mixed in with people who were conned into thinking they were buying into an upper echelon lifestyle. There's a reason why people in the know stay out of midtown. You're better off in Buckhead.   more ›

SkyHouse Midtown reaching for finish

As one of its Midtown apartment high-rise projects nears completion, Novare Group looks to break ground on its next in early 2013 with "100 6th Street."

The Novare Group and the Batson-Cook Development Company are making progress in soon delivering SkyHouse Midtown after breaking ground on the project in January of this year. Of course, Mother Nature might have her say in the coming weeks as to when the 23-story 320-unit apartment building at the corner of West Peachtree and 12th streets will officially be ready. But whenever so, it will feature studio, 1 and 2 bedroom apartment homes topped by an amenity deck 230 feet above street level. The SkyHouse Midtown sales office is officially open with residential space a reported 15 percent pre-leased in anticipation of a mid-January opening. If you’re interested in taking a hard hat tour, email skyhousemidtown@ram-mgt.com or call 404-892-0777. …

Midtown Rising On Up

Video progress of recent real estate construction in Midtown Atlanta

Earlier this month developers filed plans with the city to build a 23-story 320-unit luxury apartment tower in Midtown called 100 6th Street. Novare Group and Batson-Cook Development Company hope to have the mixed-use, which will stand behind the existing 36-story Viewpoint condo tower, completed by no later than 2014. The project will follow the 23-story 320-unit high-rise apartment building called SkyHouse Midtown that Novare and Batson-Cook are currently developing at the corner of West Peachtree and 12th streets. Some critics have been quite vocal about the parking decks associated with both projects. Here in a recent video from Immovable Media Inc., see the current progress of SkyHouse Midtown and two more prominent Midtown …

Novare Tower Will Have Active Uses Along Entirety of Juniper

Revised plans for "100 6th Street" mixed-use apartment tower in Midtown call for added street-level retail space at the corner of Juniper and 7th streets.

The developers of a Midtown project known as “100 6th Street’’ are set to present revised plans for their 23-story 320-unit luxury apartment community to the Midtown Development Review Committee (DRC) next week. In May, Jim Borders, president of Novare Group, which along with Batson-Cook Development Co. is planning to build the mixed-use tower along Juniper Street between 6th and 7th streets, presented a plan to DRC that included seven variances, six of which were approved at the meeting.   After hearing comments from the DRC, as well as from concerned Midtown residents, Borders and his team will present a revised urban design plan next Tuesday that that they feel will be beneficial to the Midtown community. Patch has learned that this …

Beautifully said, Midtowner. Because our Midtown blocks are so large (600'x600'), it is important to maintain a diversity of facades that face all sides, and preserve the function of alleys, which break the mono-block and provide access to pedestrians. The loss of 109 7th St is a tragedy, not just because it was a Neel Reid designed facade, but because it represented that diversity. What we …   more ›

Midtown on the Build

An update on three major construction projects in Midtown Atlanta

It’s nice to see so many cranes in the Midtown skies these days. Three major projects are in mid-construction and a fourth, Novare Group’s “100 6th Street” apartment high-rise, is in the planning stages. The first to break ground was the dual-branded Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites by Hilton Hotel last August. The hotel has created some 200 construction jobs and will provide more than 100 full-time jobs when it's complete and ready to open in early 2013. Both hotels, which have replaced a parking lot located at 10th and Williams streets, have been constructed at the same time within a 12-story tower.  Combined, the hotels will have 226 units and will feature a 110-seat restaurant and lounge, an outdoor pool and spa, and fitness …
