  • 12 & MIDTOWN to SHAPE MIDTOWN's FUTURE Daniel
    12th & MIDTOWN TO SHAPE MIDTOWN’S FUTURE Daniel Corporation, Selig Enterprises and the Canyon-Johnson Urban Fund Partner on Atlanta’s Midtown Mile ATLANTA (November 10, 2006) — Daniel Corporation, Selig Enterprises and the Canyon-Johnson Urban Fund (CJUF) today announce plans for 12th & Midtown. Spanning three city blocks, 12th & Midtown is a 2.5-million-square-foot mixed-use development featuring Class A office towers, luxury hotels, premium residences and flagship retail. With this development, the team becomes the largest single contributor to Atlanta’s Midtown Mile. “The City of Atlanta is dedicated to improving the Atlanta experience for residents and visitors alike – and 12th & Midtown is a giant step forward in accomplishing this goal,” said Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin. “We are thrilled that Daniel Corporation and Selig Enterprises have teamed up with Earvin “Magic” Johnson and the Canyon-Johnson Urban Fund again. As a team they are committed to providing an improved quality of life for Atlantans while continuing to contribute to the economic growth for the state of Georgia.” The partners have strategically assembled three city blocks at the intersection of Peachtree and 12th streets to create a robust master-plan in the heart of Midtown, which will feature more than 1.2 million square feet of Class A office space, over 500 hotel rooms, more than 600 residences and up to 150,000 square feet of flagship retail space. The development is designed to enhance the pedestrian streetscape and to maximize views of the Atlanta skyline and Piedmont Park. The street level has been carefully designed to accommodate the demands of world-renowned flagship retailers, including 35-foot-high storefronts and super-graphic displays, for a commanding presence along Atlanta’s Midtown Mile.

  • Parking: Its Effect on the Form and the Experience of the City
    Parking: Its Effect on the Form and the Experience of the City Stephen Taul School of City and Regional Planning College of Architecture Georgia Institute of Technology Spring 2012 ADVISOR: Richard Dagenhart TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract 3 Introduction 4 Historical Background 5 Quantity: The rise of the automobile Ownership: Early parking garages Design: Beginning of off-street parking Recent Practices 9 Quantity: Parking requirements in 10 US cities Ownership: In-lieu fees in practice Design: Current strategies Atlanta Research 20 Quantity: Comparison of parking requirements Ownership: Parcel analysis Design: Building typologies Atlanta Conclusions/Recommendations 42 General Conclusions 44 - 2 - Abstract This paper argues for the rethinking of parking policy to maximize social interaction in the public realm. This proposal is framed by three questions. First, what are the recent findings from urban design and planning research and practice about the proper amount, ownership structure, and design of parking to enable walkable urbanism? Second, what specific characteristics enable parking to be integrated into dense urban districts without sacrificing the social significance of the public realm? Third, what policies and design strategies can be developed, based on the evidence above, to promote the creation of walkable urbanism? Three urban districts in Atlanta are the focus of the detailed analysis of parking. These are Downtown, Midtown and Buckhead. These three districts were chosen because of their similar status as the three largest commercial and financial districts in the city, but unique orientation to the automobile. Their current parking requirements are compared based on quantity as well as other factors. Parcel data is used to show the parcels with parking as a principle land used to roughly estimate the amount of street activity generated by parking.
