Visited Chelsa Market in NYC, another Jamestown Property. It was great, 1st floor was all retail and food market. The upper floors were apartments and offices. The place was packed with people and very inviting from the street.

Ponce City Market is about twice the size as Chelsa Market. Chelsa Market has 1 million square feet of office space and 100,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Ponce City Market is a 2.1 million square-foot structure with 300,000 square feet of retail and restaurants.

Great video, can't wait for it to open up in 2014. Once the BeltLine gets transit, this will become a landmark that attracts residents and tourist. The Chelsea Market was very authentic, not fake like Atlantic Station.

I agree. Don't diss AS because it is better than what was there previously. Plus the same company that built AS is building another one in Alpharetta called Avalon in 2013. Real cities have a mixture of several types of developments not just one. I actually said I was more excited about BA but I think I like PCM more now that I saw the video

Thanks for posting the video. I was already excited about this project, now, even more so.

I love a couple quotes from the video:
Quote:
We don't throw away anything. We're actually going to reuse it as art.... We are trying to create this marriage between old and new.
Quote:
People want it to be authentic, raw, and real, in a way that makes them feel like their on a bit of an adventure.
That is why I am so excited about this project. It will be one of those things that comes to define Atlanta. Between the Beltline and this, Atlanta's future is so very exciting. We hit roadblocks all the time, but it seems that the negatives are always defeated by something new or reinvented. I love this city.

Fake, like the buildings are cheap looking make from fake brick. AS is great and is very walkable, but it does have a superficial feeling.

I don't think the buildings are that cheap looking but what do you expect developers to do? Go back in time or use an aging machine? Can you post an example of a new development from scratch that meets your criteria (that doesn't include historic structures but brand new from the ground up)? I think the neo-traditional designs using brick at least look better than some of the "modernist" designs with blank walls and multi-colored panels as an architectural feature (how lazy of an architect). Everything was new once.
