Checking in on these changing Midtown blocks, from high above

With the drone back from the repair shop and summery skies upon us, it's time for another installment of Aerial Tours over the changing landscape of intown Atlanta. 

Today we're hovering over the Spring and West Peachtree street corridors of Midtown, where the city's tallest new building since the early 1990s (and fifth tallest project overall) is starting to rise up, and another two-pronged development with 70 total stories is wrapping up, among other significant changes. Buckle up, and welcome aboard!

Let’s start by looking east toward Piedmont Park, where a flock of construction cranes includes work, from left, on Dewberry Capital’s slowly progressing Campanile project, Middle Street Partners’ two-tower 12th and Juniper, and Mill Creek Residential’s topped-out, 32-story Modera Parkside building:

The block at center below—situated between 12th and 13th streets and Peachtree Walk—was cleared in winter 2023 by veteran Atlanta firm Selig Development.

Selig plans to replace the fenced-off site with mixed-use venture Midtown Exchange, which calls for a residential tower standing 37 stories and a 26-story office building. In between would be a central courtyard accessed from Peachtree Walk, while 24,500 square feet of retail would be placed at street level. We asked Selig reps for an update on the project’s status in April, but those emails weren’t returned:

As seen looking southwest, Momentum Midtown’s two towers brought 70 total stories of new construction between West Peachtree and Spring streets, just north of 10th Street. The project’s least expensive rental option listed to date is a 500-square-foot studio going for $1,970 monthly:
