wasting midtown

novare is destroying another bit of historic midtown, in spite of their statement in 2006: "marrying old Atlanta and new, the project includes an historic Neel Reid building that will be preserved, converted into luxury residences and incorporated into the new development."

 located at 109 7th street between peachtree and juniper it sat next to an excellent craftsman-style apartment building which novare demolished as t hey built viewpoint --- both buildings were in fine condition and had been fully occupied when these images were taken in march 2006 ---

fine corporate citizens, yessiree

meanwhile, the not-a-big-developer who owns 121 8th street just spent a whole bunch completely rehabbing it and it's fully occupied --- and the old apartment bldg next door at 8th and juniper has long been condos with a conservation easement on the facade -- it's nice to know a few old buildings will be here a few years longer
