High Museum Condo Project Back On In Midtown

A long-delayed luxury condominium project in Midtown appears to be back on again.

The Atlanta Business Chronicle reported this week that homebuilder John Wieland presented plans for “One Museum Place” this week to the Midtown Development Review Committee.

The project on the nearly 2-acre tract across the street from the High Museum of Art was originally intended to be a 23-story, $325 million luxury condo tower where the 96 units would start at $2 million. But that was seven years ago before the Great Recession.

Now, as the ABC reports, Wieland has proposed a five-story project with the 48 units ranging from $700,000 to $2.5 million. The hope is to break ground in April.

In recent years, Wieland twice had the property at 1301 Peachtree Street under contract. But ultimately he balked at letting it go to make way for what would have been a $350 million luxury hotel, or a 320-unit apartment tower.
