Density is going to "soar" from two towers? Now that's just sad
This is two in 5 towers that has been announced in a 1-2 block radius. We also have the 3 tower development just a coiple hundreds yards away with a 60 story tower, and two 40+ story towers.
That's nearly 2k units within a 2 block radius....that's a density booster.
And this is all within literally 1-2 blocks of each other. That would be a lot of units in a small area even for the historic dense city of Philly. This doesn't even include development south of 10th or North of 14th.
No because Miami still has way more residential density in it's downtown due to all of the condo highrises. Walkability wise though, probably 2nd after NOLA.
Good for Atlanta. I'm glad some cities are getting denser in their cores. Now they need to make sure things are walkable for these people with ample public transit in certain areas.
I was also reading an article for Chicago, talking about the mini boom that's currently taking place specifically downtown (there's more elsewhere). 2700 new residential units were added in 2013, the most in a single year since at least 1999. 2014 will see another 2000+ being added, and 2015 may see 4000 more. That's 8700 new units at least between 2013 and end of 2016 in downtown Chicago alone.

Midtown has plenty of transit. It has 3 underground stations: North Avenue, Midtown, and Arts Center. The Midtown core is only .76 square miles(2 miles North and around .4 miles wide).
Don't feel like posting anymore. Just a taste of what's to come for Midtown Atlanta. Keep in mind this does not include Downtown, Buckhead or the neighborhoods that surround the core(Old Forth Ward neighborhood has 4 development currently being constructed at this moment within a 3 block radius along the beltline).
It's good there's many proposals, though a handful of these look like they are just proposals. Hopefully they get built and everything can support them.

That's great! I think the Downtown-Midtown Atlanta area has the potential to be just like the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor in the suburbs of D.C. They're very similar in built environment running very linear along a subway line. With this type of development, Midtown Atlanta may be able to eventually get to the density of the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor which has census tracts in the 40k and 50k per square mile range.

Midtown Atlanta will likely be a much better neighborhood than that little corridor. I've streetviewed that area before and it feels so....I don't know...it's not the classic urban at all. I didn't know that corridor had 50k census tracts...that's ridiculously high.
