Midtown Union is a mixed-use development in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. First proposed in 2016 as Midtown Heights, the project would feature multiple high-rises built in midtown Atlanta at the intersection of 17th Street and Spring Street. Construction started in 2019 and was completed in September 2022.
History
[edit | edit source]On August 8, 2016, MetLife announced that JLL had been selected as the master development manager for a new real estate development project in midtown Atlanta called Midtown Heights.[1] MetLife had begun collecting the property, an 8.5-acre (3.4-hectare) parcel at the intersection of Spring Street and 17th Street, in 2006. Around this time, MetLife had planned for a high-rise mixed-use development at that site called "Metropolitan Center," but these ideas were shelved during the Great Recession.[1] At the time of JLL's hiring, the parcel was home to an office building from the 1960s.[1][2] On March 7, 2018, MetLife unveiled renderings for the project and announced that Arquitectonica had designed the project's master plan and Atlanta-based Cooper Carry would lead the building design.[2] By May 2018, the project had taken the name Midtown Union.[3]
On May 30, 2019, Invesco announced that they planned to be a major tenant in the new development.[4] Per their announcement, they would occupy about half of the total office space in the development.[5][6] On October 5 of that year, the office building at the site was demolished to make way for the development.[7] Several weeks earlier, on September 10, the Midtown Development Review Committee had approved a revised plan for the project put forward by developer Granite Properties.[5]
Construction officially began on November 26, 2019,[8] with a groundbreaking ceremony occurring on December 9.[9][10] Brasfield & Gorrie are serving as contractors for the project.[11] The office and residential towers opened in July 2022, while the hotel commenced operations on September 21, 2022. [7]
Site and structures
[edit | edit source]The development will consist of a 26-story tower housing 600,000 square feet of office space, an 18-story residential building containing 355 apartments, and a 12-story hotel. Additionally, the development will feature 30,000 square feet of retail space.[12]
