Wayne Mason Pulls His Beltline Offer,

|

October 4, 2006

According to several news sources Gwinnett County Developer Wayne Mason who owns the entire Northeast corridor of the beltline along with his Beltline partnership group have pulled their rezoning application from the city. In my opinion this is a huge loss for all of the citizens of the City of Atlanta.

The funny thing is with my experiences earlier this year this whole story comes as No surprise to me. Every meeting I attended furthers the comments by Roy Barnes about the City being asleep at the wheel. Imagine it… A sharp business man thinking he could come in and actually get something done???
Not gonna happen in Atlanta. No Sir!
Can we say Peter Principle?


More recent stories about the Beltline:

“He’s just like any developer,” Coyle fumes. “He makes threats, but he won’t carry through with them. It’s the [Atlanta] City Council that will say what’s appropriate. They’ll come up with some middle ground.”
Giles- I guess not Ms Liz Coyle, vice chairwoman of NPU-F

AJC reports on Sembler North Druid Hills Project,

|

October 2, 2006

The AJC reported this Saturday on a whale of a story… The article claims that Florida based Sembler Company is in talks with property owners and Dekalb County over the nearly 100 acres at the intersection of North Druid Hills and Briarcliff just off of I-85 (see map below).  Developments of Regional Impact (DRI) like these would be quite a hefty price tag.

In fact… let’s do a bit of math on the subject.  According to the AJC, one of the parcels being looked at is a 73-acre piece containing the Park at Briarcliff, a 1,017-unit complex of apartments and town-homes owned by the Housing Authority of DeKalb County (important note, Dekalb doesn’t own the land just the buildings). Based off of that acreage and unit count we could deduce the following:

Semblers Brookhaven Place Project:

Paid 66,000,000 for Peachtree Garden Apartments, or $1,315,527 an acre (50.17 acres), or $126,195 per door (523 units).

So based off of those numbers is it possible that this piece could be worth 96 million???  I seriously doubt it but i guess we will see.  It is also notable that no Sembler representatives were quoted in this article making me wonder if this story is simply fishing for some news.  

I also want to thank the team over at Sembler for working with me on Brookhaven Place especially Heather Correa Duffy, Jeff Fuqua and Kathy Zickert (their zoning attorney).  Since my house is the closest house to the project I certainly had some big concerns.  Sembler has gone into high gear to address those concerns and they have worked diligently to be prepared for numerous neighborhood meetings other than ours.  I feel they have made light years of progress on the Brookhaven Place proposal.  They have put together an expensive and thorough landscaping plan that certainly wasn’t required of them and I am certainly grateful.

Here is a clip of the story:


The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 09/30/06 A Florida-based developer known for fusing big-box retail and smaller stores and restaurants with housing and offices is negotiating with DeKalb County officials to build what could be one of the biggest mixed-use projects in metro Atlanta.  Sembler Co. is deep into talks with the DeKalb school system and the county housing authority about the proposal, which involves about 100 acres off Briarcliff and North Druid Hills roads near I-85.

It would bring major change to the area and could cause the relocation of highly ranked schools and perhaps 1,000 residents in a government-owned rental complex.
