Growing Roswell teases blockbuster economic win. Any guesses? Josh Green Fri, 01/31/2025 - 16:34 The facts are few, but for one of Atlanta’s toniest suburbs and most lively OTP downtowns, the possibilities seem endless. 

On Monday morning, in Room 220 at Roswell City Hall, Roswell Mayor Kurt Wilson is scheduled to hold a press briefing before metro Atlanta media, alongside government and corporate officials. 

The topic: news on a “major economic development initiative” and “exciting opportunity” for the growing North Fulton County city of roughly 92,000, according to City of Roswell officials. 

But what could it be? 

The only other clues provided in advance by city officials read as follows: The announcement involves “the establishment of a new company headquarters that will bring significant investment and job growth to the city.” (Atlanta lost out, for better or worse, on the Amazon HQ2 sweepstakes, so coul

As World Cup looms, another downtown hotel project moves forward Josh Green Fri, 12/13/2024 - 16:35 Downtown Atlanta’s flurry of high-rise hotel construction in advance of the 2026 FIFA World Cup shows few signs of slowing down.

Developers filed for permits this week to start building a Residence Inn By Marriott on a vacant downtown corner near several marquee attractions where a hotel has been envisioned for more than five years.

Filings with the City of Atlanta’s Department of City Planning mark the first permitting activity for the 355 Centennial Olympic Park Drive site since early 2023.

The project, which would overlook Centennial Olympic Park, came to market in August as a package deal for the land and permitted hotel plans, asking $14.5 million. The current project owner is listed in city records as Soneri Investment Group, a boutique, private real estate investment firm based in Texas.

Located diagonal from downtown’s signature park, the .8-acre site is a former gravel

Avondale Estates launches 'tactical urbanism' work to slow drivers down Josh Green Wed, 12/04/2024 - 16:16 As with other pockets of ITP Atlanta, the City of Avondale Estates has started deploying inventive, relatively low-cost measures as a means of slowing drivers down and boosting safety for non-motorists.

Work began this week on a “tactical urbanism” initiative called the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Project on two busy Avondale Estates streets as a means of calming driver speeds and deterring cut-through traffic in residential neighborhoods, according to city officials.

Phase one is focused on stretches of South Avondale Road and Kensington Road near the city’s growing commercial district.

Those streets were picked, according to a city study, because they’re ideal for bike rout

Developer: Dead Kmart replacement set to (partially) move forward Josh Green Tue, 11/12/2024 - 15:59 The long-planned “urban lifestyle” replacement for a demolished and cleared Kmart in Doraville is gearing up to finally move forward—at least partially.

Miami-based developer Resia, the company behind a five-building residential project on Memorial Drive and another in Douglasville, is gearing up to build the first phase of a sizable multifamily project at 5593 Buford Highway, company officials tell Urbanize Atlanta.  

Resia Lotus Grove’s initial phase calls for a 12-story building—the tallest in Doraville, per project officials—with 456 apartments and perks that include a pool and fitness center.  

Gus Cabrera, Resia’s director of business development, recently told

In Brookhaven, mixed-use district enters pipeline at 32-acre site Josh Green Thu, 10/31/2024 - 13:58 Plans are starting to materialize for a site the City of Brookhaven has pinpointed as primo real estate for mixed-use housing and more density.

Atlanta-based developer Third & Urban wants to redevelop a 32-acre office park wedged between Buford Highway and Interstate 85 into a walkable district that blends retail, housing, and greenspace while catering to the area’s quickly growing employers, especially in the healthcare sector.

The multi-phase proposal could breathe new life into the long-underperforming Corporate Square office park—and its vast seas of asphalt parking. 

The Corporate Square Boulevard site is situated across the interstate from the recently opened Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Arthur M. Blank Hospital and Emory University’s planned Executive Park Healthcare Innovation D

Complex with nearly 600 homes nears opening on Marietta Boulevard Josh Green Mon, 10/14/2024 - 12:37 In what’s been coined Atlanta’s Upper Westside, the transition of industrial properties to retail, brewery, and residential hubs is continuing in a significant way this fall.

After launching construction in late 2022, the BRYKS Upper Westside project has begun pre-leasing at 2200 Marietta Boulevard for what will be nearly 600 apartments spread across two buildings, marking another example of large-scale investment in a corridor linking Atlanta’s Westside to the Chattahoochee River and beyond.

The BRYKS project is a Class A joint venture between global real estate firm Golub & Company, Atlanta-based commercial real estate company AB Capital, and Atlanta entrepreneur Thierry François, among others. It features two distinct apartment buildings joined by a common plaza, and it marks Golub’s debut in the Atlanta market.

First look: Beltline pocket neighborhood aimed at first-time buyers Josh Green Tue, 09/24/2024 - 08:05 Construction has begun on a unique southeast Atlanta project that developers say is geared toward first-time buyers, couples without kids, downsizing adults, or any other intowner generally sick of renting.

The 18-townhome venture is underway at 1160 Boulevard, claiming a vacant, 1/2-acre site that was home to a gas station decades ago and has since been cleaned up, per developers.

The Boulevard Heights location is roughly two blocks south of Grant Park and the Beltline’s Southside Trail corridor, which is undergoing trail construction on both sides of Boulevard. Next door to the east is Chua Quang Minh, Georgia’s oldest Vietnamese Buddhist temple.

The project, led by an LLC called 1160 Boulevard and designed by architecture firm TSW, is another example of an intown pocket neighborhood turning underused, tighter sites i

Developer: Townhome venture just south of Beltline to rise soon Josh Green Wed, 09/04/2024 - 13:24 A southside infill project a few blocks from the Atlanta Beltline corridor that’s grappled with delays is still viable and gearing up for construction soon, according to developers.

Atlanta-based Epic Development is moving ahead with a project that will add for-sale townhome options along the southern reaches of Boulevard in Benteen, a small neighborhood bordering Boulevard Heights and Chosewood Park that includes a namesake greenspace.

Situated south of Grant Park and Zoo Atlanta, the combined sites in question—1304 and 1316 Boulevard—span 2.3 acres immediately north of southside hangout Red’s Beer Garden. Across the street is the immense construction zone that is Empire Communities’ 34-acre Zephyr project.

At cusp of Centennial Park, hotel development seeks buyer, builder Josh Green Thu, 08/15/2024 - 13:44 A downtown hotel project that would overlook Centennial Olympic Park is designed, permitted, and ready to move forward in hopes of capturing 2026 FIFA World Cup crowds. The only missing piece is a company capable of building it.

That’s the word from commercial real estate brokerage firm Marcus & Millichap, which listed for sale today a 355 Centennial Olympic Park Drive site where a 14-story Residence Inn By Marriott is set to move forward with a franchise flag in place.

Located diagonal from downtown’s signature park, the .8-acre site is a former gravel parking lot that’s been fenced-off and used sparingly for several years. The asking price for the land and permitted hotel plans is $14.5 million.

The property is marketed as being in Atlanta’s “hotel zone” and “completely construction

North of Atlanta, 'farmstead' project emerges as homebuyer magnet Josh Green Wed, 08/14/2024 - 08:12 City slickers itchin’ to get their hayseed on might wanna take note.

Promising “farmstead living for modern world pioneers,” a project called Sanctuaire Farms spread across 461 acres in Cherokee County expects to break ground in coming months and capitalize on a post-COVID trend of homebuyers seeking to literally get back to their roots.

According to The Folia Group, a longtime homebuilder in Atlanta’s northern suburbs, the concept has proven an immediate hit. Company CEO Rob Beecham recently said the “interest and enthusiasm has been incredible.” (The developer is also building a project under the Sanctuaire brand in downtown Canton.) 

Described as a master-planned, agri-community with unique amenities, Sanctuaire Farms is set to take shape five miles east of Ball Ground and Int

As the original 900M PixArt project went well, a recurring thought was something like, "what if the model only had to deal with half of the tasks?"

we're discrete here, m'am

Image generation for the PixArt model is technically 1000 discrete tasks it is learning to do. That's a lot. I can't do that many things! We can split the workload in two, similar to SDXL's failed attempt at the same thing. The first stage is composition and depth and then we've got minor repairs and fine details to augment and finish off.

So I switch between playing games from my desk and my couch. I have a long HDMI cable that runs from my desktop to my tv. before I would use a bluetooth keyboard and a bluetooth mouse when playing from the couch with a little table or with a xbox 360 controller.

recently we had a baby and she sleeps a bit less now but still for a few hours at a time during the day. now I feed her and she will fall asleep on me so sometimes I dont really want to move much after she falls asleep but I got pretty into farthest frontier which needs a keyboard and mouse to play. but with baby on my chest I cant really use the desk and a keyboard and mouse is kind of tough to use, the mouse likes to slide around which scrolls the view

Good morning y'all, so I have a server pc that I've been slowly adding bits and pieces to for about a year now. It started off as a barebones board with a nvme on it, and has slowly developed into a Plex box and game server host box.

This morning I just added an AIO. I've been hosting a Palworld server, and it's averaging 35% cpu usage and 27gb of ram. When the sever is on, the poor stock CPU fan is just running all the time. It's so much quieter now!

That's all, just wanted to share. Self Host has been super helpful with learning how to self host!

Under the cover of war, a total of 16 Palestinian villages in the West Bank — collectively home to over 1,000 people — have been entirely depopulated as a result of a surge in settler violence and pogroms against Palestinian herding communities. Separated from their communities and forced to live in tents on land belonging to other Palestinians, the displaced families are all demanding the same thing: to be able to return home.

On the day of the expulsion, the settlers refused to allow them to take anything from the burning village: her husband’s ID card, vehicles, mattresses, cell phones, bags of olives, keys — “and my clothes,” one of her sons adds. Everything was left behind, and much of
