Midtown Exchange project would feature apartment, office towers

By Collin Kelley

Developers Selig and RJTR have proposed a new mixed-use project called Midtown Exchange on a parcel of land bounded by 12th Street, 13th Street, and Peachtree Walk.

The Midtown Development Review Committee (DRC) got its first look at the proposal, which would feature two towers organized around an internal courtyard – at its April meeting.

Plans show a 37-story residential building with 465 units and street-level retail at the corner of 13th Street and Peachtree Walk and a 26-story office tower located along 12th St.

The project would be served by a shared 10-story parking deck with 1,608 spaces at the northeast corner of the site.

Midtown Exchange would also be adjacent to the Midtown Art Walk, a public promenade and shared street concept that will provide an enhanced pedestrian experience incorporating creative arts, sustainable landscaping, and unique lighting from the Fed Plaza at 10th Street to the Woodruff Arts Center at 15th Street.

The DRC had a long list of recommendations for the developer including reconfiguring and reducing the size of the parking deck, creating more access points to the courtyard, moving the residential building east to provide a greater setback along Peachtree Walk, and more.

The DRC is expected to take up the project again at its May 10 meeting at 5:30 p.m. in the 5th-floor conference room at 999 Peachtree.
