The Premiere at Fox plaze will actually front Ponce de Leon Ave. only the parking deck for the 615 Peachtree building needed to be demolished for this new project. The portion of the lot facing Peachtree and North will become a park until market demands allow for a second phase to be built. This is much like the useless plaze by Bellsouth a few blocks up Peachtree. With all the dead plaza space diagonally across the intersection at the BofA building, there is enough for this corner of town. 2. There are countless surface parking lots in town that beg to be redeveloped. I'd rather see them built up into something more usefull, urban, and appealing. Otherwise, I do like the Cousins development. Let's hope that it is a home run so they'll start a second phase on Peachtree and North right away.

I like the music. It makes it feel like a mini-documentary (which it is, so that's appropriate). Awesome! Just finished watching it. I like the music.
