This is the 4th Downtown project that includes plans for a new grocery store. Watch out Mandarin, we're coming for you!

"There are not many tracts this large in the area"

Uh............. has he seen 'The District', or 'The Shipyards?'  Or the rest of downtown waterfront....?

I'm assuming they meant large tract [for sale] in the area. The District isn't fully for sale (obviously they're selling portions), and the Shipyards is a total mess politically.

Fantastic news. I hope they develop something iconic that integrates the creek, river, and riverwalk.

The developer has a ton of experience throwing up stick build urban apartment complexes and grocery stores.  I'm sure whatever they propose will be truly uninspiring

I'm gonna miss the mid-century modern building.

I would imagine that for an Atlanta developer, this parcel is actually on the cheap side considering the location and size, as compared to anything similar in Atlanta.

Wow under construction this year.

Like how Berkman II is "under construction?"

I hope this very valuable waterfront property is not wasted on a 5 story stick frame building. This is a great opportunity for mid-high rise project that will allow this site to fulfill its potential profit-making potential.

How about high rise or taller project? Prime location and property IMO.

Was hoping for a LOT better for one of the best riverfront sites in the city.
