The Proposed Peachtree Street Car

Already 2 or more years in the making (or study process), the Peachtree Street Car is making tracks (no pun intended) towards becoming a reality! The task force issued their findings in March, 2007, and now they are seeking public input into the proposed Street Car. What is it going to look like? This is a picture of the Portland, Oregon Streetcar, and the same type that could be gliding up and down Peachtree Street between 16th Street in Midtown and Downtown within 6 years. (Hey, nobody said we do everything fast in the South, right?)

I attended the first of 4 public meetings that are being held (actually now only 2 left as two of them were today, and the others will be next week and the following week in Midtown. Here is that meeting information:

Wednesday, January 16, 6-8 p.m. AT&T Midtown 2 Building,

725 West Peachtree Street AT&T: (404) 888-0349

Tuesday, January 22, 6-8 p.m. First Presbyterian Church,

1328 Peachtree Street, N.E. First Presbyterian: (404) 892-8461

The meeting will cover the vision of the Street Car, where it initially will go, how long it will take to build and become operational, and MOST importantly, the proposed funding to build it! The current proposed funding will have a long term impact on anyone who lives or owns a business in the proposed special assessment district.

I hope to see many of my neighbors there!

Spire Midtown A Condominium Community

In various posts here, I want to introduce you to the various "vertical communities" with in the Midtown Neighborhood. If you have not had an opportunity to "see inside" these buildings, I hope I'll be able to give you that look. Also, if you are considering Midtown Atlanta for your next home, don't forget stop by our website for more information!


Spire Midtown arrived at 860 Peachtree Street in 2005. It was the first new high-rise construction since The Metropolis was built in 2002.(I'll talk about Metropolis in a future blog!) And what a hit it was! The building sold out in a record 3 weeks time! In fact, when I bought my condo there, I had to lean against the wall in the Sales Center and sign my contract on my leg....it was that busy!

Standing 28 stories tall, the views from Spire are awesome. Of course, the higher you are, the better the view! The building features studio, 1 and 2 bedroom homes. The floorplans are unique in that all 1 bedroom homes do not have bedroom doors or floor to ceiling walls. 2 bedroom homes do have doors and full walls. But this makes for some great decorating options! The sizes of the homes range from 606 sq ft to over 1200 sq ft.

When you arrive in the lobby, one is taken back to an art-deco hotel in Miami Beach (I'm always looking for the ocean!) There is a concierge 24 hours a day, but the building has a unique security system in that you can only access your floor, the amenities floor and the parking garage.

Inside the building, the 2-story Club Room is located on the 7th & 8th Floors. It features fireplaces, pool table, Internet stations, catering kitchen, areobics room, weight room and cardio room. Just to the right of this picture is the pool deck.





Spire offers its residents convenience with the street-level retail area. Currently, Fresh To Order, Firehouse Subs, Fune Sushi Restaurant and Midtown Community Bank are some of the services available.





No visit to Spire would be complete without a glimpse of one of the homes.....

Spire is in the Heart of Midtown's Miracle Mile...a mile long shopping district that is still coming along, but will be awesome once completed! Be sure to click on the link to learn more about it!
