Rising as one of the three towers at 1105 West Peachtree, the $530 million mixed-use development under construction in Midtown, 40 West 12th celebrated its topping out and the opening of its presentation gallery in October.

The 64-unit condo tower comes on the heels of a partnership agreement between Selig Development and Rockefeller Group to develop the residential community. Engel & Völkers Atlanta put four of the units under contract in just one week last month. The luxury condos are priced from the $800s

The mixed-use development trend shows no signs of slowing down as a slew of new projects are underway or have been announced, including a transformative project for the English Avenue community.

Here’s a roundup of what’s new and on the horizon:

Echo Street West

Lincoln Property Company has begun site work and infrastructure improvements at Echo Street West, a 19-acre mixeduse development in the English Avenue community.

Located at Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway and Northside Drive, the project will also be connected to Atlanta BeltLine’s new Westside Connector Trail, which runs directly through the property.

Lincoln’s $17 million investment in infrastructure upgrades includes replacing the turn-of-the-century utilities, installing a fiber network, improving stormwater retention, paving new roads, and environmental cleanup of the property.

When complete, Echo Street West will have 2.4 million square feet of mixed-use space. The first phase encompasses 285,000 square feet of creative office; 30,000 square feet of retail; a 16,000-square-foot artist and makers colony; 20,000 square feet of event space; 3.4 acres of outdoor entertainment and gathering areas; and 300 multifamily units, of which 20 percent will be affordable.

The outdoor gathering spaces, restoration of an architecturally significant buildings into an event venue and artist and makers colony, and the open-air bar and dining experience will be the first components to open next spring.

The event venue, Guardian Works, will be located in the former Guardian Chemical Company building and feature 6,000 square feet of indoor reception space, nearly 5,000 on an outside patio, and an additional 23,000 of greenspace. Novare

Events has been selected to manage and market events at the space.

The Rhapsody

The Midtown Development Review Committee got its first look in October at Capital City Real Estate’s plan for a 24-story building that will mix apartments and condos on Peachtree Street.

The project at 1429 Peachtree Street would be a high-end building called The Rhapsody and feature 270 apartments and 55 condominiums with separate lobbies accessed from Peachtree. There would be a restaurant on the ground floor with a large to $2+ million.

Located along 12th street in Midtown, 40 West 12th is joining two other vertical components at 1105 West Peachtree — a 31-story office tower encompassing 675,000-square-feet of workspace and the 178-room Autograph Collection Epicurean Hotel. All three towers will be connected by a Sky Plaza, which will feature a hub of small outdoor gathering areas, a central green space and an outdoor restaurant and bar, as well as direct access to the hotel’s resort style pool and poolside restaurant and bar.
