New life and adaptive-reuse development could be bound for a corner in the Pittsburgh neighborhood with historical significance that had devolved into a sore spot of violence and crime.
Invest Atlanta, Mayor Andre Dickens’ office, and the city’s Housing Innovation Lab have released a Request for Proposals in hopes of finding a developer to turn Pittsburgh’s city-owned “Pink Store” site into a hub of activity and affordable housing that boosts the neighborhood.
Situated in the heart of historic Pittsburgh, the 1029 McDaniel St. site has been vacant since the city acquired the corner property in 2017—an effort to put the kibosh on problems around the former convenience store. (The AJC once coined the Pink Store property Atlanta’s “corner of death,” following a string of violent tragedies.) Before all of that, the site operated as a pharmacy, according to city officials.

In an announcement today, project officials call the RFP a significant milestone that follows a collaboration process between the Housing Innovation Lab and Invest Atlanta that spanned several years. Those efforts included community meetings, having the property rezoned for mixed uses and missing-middle housing, and other due diligence. The broad goal is now to turn the vacant property into uses both community-centered and equitable, per officials.
Specifically, the RFP calls for adaptive reuse of the former Pink Store building (possibly with neighborhood retail at the base level and offices or community space above), with new construction for affordable housing behind it on the deep lot.
Priorities include retaining the Pink Store building’s character, long-term housing for low and moderate-income families, services and retail that suit local needs, and “public gathering space that anchors the development in community life,” per the RFP announcement.
Formerly two parcels and uses, the Pittsburgh site is now a single parcel, according to Invest Atlanta. Invest Atlanta

Perks of the location include proximity to Pittsburgh Yards and the Beltline’s Southside Trail corridor, both situated a few blocks to the south.
The corner property “has a deep legacy in Pittsburgh and deserves to be honored with thoughtful, inclusive reinvestment,” said Dickens, who also serves as Invest Atlanta’s Board Chair, in a prepared statement.
Added Dr. Eloisa Klementich, Invest Atlanta president and CEO: “The 1029 McDaniel project represents a chance to uplift the historic significance of an important property through a community-led vision centered on affordable housing, small business activation, and neighborhood character.”
RFP submissions are due by June 20. Find more info and instructions here.

Federal cuts threaten to kill Atlanta’s highway-capping Stitch project

A tax bill recently proposed in Washington D.C. could permanently defund a transformative greenspace and infrastructure project in downtown Atlanta that’s finally nearing construction.
According to representatives with U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock’s office, Atlanta’s highway-capping the Stitch stands to lose a crucial $157.5 million in funding for its initial phase as part of $3.8 trillion in spending and cuts dubbed by President Donald Trump’s administration the “Big Beautiful Bill.”
Funding earmarked for the Stitch in spring 2024 that appeared to green-light the project’s first phase of construction would instead join roughly $4 billion rescinded from infrastructure projects across the country as part of Trump’s tax and spending bill.
The Stitch would lose its funding if the Senate passes House legislation as it currently stands, “effectively gutting the [Atlanta] project before it can even begin,” as John Parker III, Warnock’s deputy communications director, wrote in an email to Urbanize Atlanta.
The Stitch was initially proposed back in 2016 but had been gathering momentum over the past year like never before, with plans to break ground on the first phase in 2026.

Stitch’s initial phase (now envisioned as 5.7 acres) appeared to have secure about $200 million needed to build it, mostly from a federal Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods grant approved by the previous administration. It calls for capping the highway between Peachtree and Courtland streets and upgrading connections to existing street corridors, helping to stitch Midtown and downtown back together across the Connector’s gouge.
Warnock’s office says killing the Stitch would have broader economic implications across Georgia’s economy.
“The Stitch is an economic development catalyst, much like the Beltline, that will create thousands of permanent and construction jobs and a rare opportunity for new residential and retail development in the heart of Atlanta,” Parker wrote.

“What’s more, the Stitch will create new mobility options across I-75/85, reducing commutes and connecting Atlantans to popular destinations on both sides of the highway,” Park continued. “This transformational investment in our city’s infrastructure would help Atlanta continue to be one of the premier destinations in the world for global events for decades to come. Unfortunately, partisan fighting has led to this project becoming a political issue, instead of the economic revitalization opportunity that it is.”
Warnock’s office noted the Atlanta City Council approved in April a new tax system to fund the Stitch project—plans the federal rollback could disrupt.
“At a time when many Georgians are struggling to make ends meet—and good jobs are hard to come by—taking away jobs from people looking for work is not the answer,” wrote Parker.
Project spearheads Central Atlanta Progress and Atlanta Downtown Improvement District released a master plan for the Stitch project in December, following 18 months of public meetings and input from more than 6,000 stakeholders. It lays out a roadmap for three phases of the Stitch, including land-use policies, key development sites (to include affordable housing), and both short and long-term transportation upgrades.
The first phase is envisioned as the green heart of the project, with pathways, native gardens, a plaza, shade structures, pavilions, a playground, restrooms, and other features where the gash in downtown’s urban landscape exists today.
Phases two and three, tentatively scheduled to begin construction in 2029 and 2033, respectively, would require a variety of additional funding sources. Those could include state and federal grants, commitments from the City of Atlanta, philanthropy, and “real estate value capture,” project leaders have said.

The most recent Stitch projections called for 14 acres of new public space eventually being created over the downtown Connector—finishing in roughly 11 years, or sometime in 2036, pending funding.
Another highway-capping proposal, the Connector Park concept in Midtown, officially bowed out of the running for local, federal, and philanthropic funding in July. Meanwhile, design and fundraising work for Buckhead’s highway-topping HUB404 project is ongoing.

Perhaps you’ve seen it peeking up lately from Northside Drive. Or Howell Mill Road. Or the lower reaches of Buckhead.
As legions of ATL development wonks have recently noticed, the city’s tallest skyscraper project in more than 30 years has started to make a definitive mark over the Connector freeway and several neighborhoods to the west and north.
And in terms of vertical stacking, it’s just getting started.
New York City developers Rockefeller Group relayed in April the 60-story 1072 West Peachtree project—set to become both the tallest residential and mixed-use building in Atlanta, and the fifth tallest in the city overall—had finished its base office and retail floors.
As of Saturday, construction crews were working on the 18th story over the tower’s wider base, per our calculations. That means the project has about 22 stories left to climb, not including rooftop infrastructure and glass-panel ornamentation.

As another unofficial milestone, the tower’s height has now surpassed the nearby “Google building,” the tallest, 31-story office component of Selig Development’s tri-tower 1105 West Peachtree project.
Judging by construction progress since our last Crane Watch update in early May, the 1072 West Peachtree project is rising at a clip of about one floor per week as summer approaches.
Rockefeller officials have said the tower will include more than 350 high-end apartments for Midtown. The construction schedule now calls for topping out 1072 West Peachtree later this year.
Described as a “trophy tower” designed by Atlanta-based architecture firm TVS, in collaboration with Brock Hudgins Architects, the project will include boutique, five-star Class A offices and the highest apartment views in Atlanta to date. The 224,000 square feet of office space will occupy floors 11 to 18, with perks that include 10-foot finished ceiling heights, city views on all floors, and flexible layouts, plus a large terrace on each floor. Rockefeller officials have called fitness and spa options for office tenants “unparalleled” for the market. CBRE has been hired to lead office leasing.

Spanning a full acre, the tower’s 10th-floor amenity deck will include collaborative and lounge seating areas and a lawn for games, events, and other gatherings. Also on the 10th floor will be a 30,000-square-foot indoor amenity zone with lounges, meeting spaces, a yoga studio, and other features.
Rockefeller’s plans for the retail component include multiple options for dining throughout the day. Those spaces will see coffee, casual grab-and-go, and sit-down restaurant additions to the block, per developers.
Rockefeller is now forecasting the full building will be finished in spring 2026, in time for global interest in Atlanta during eight FIFA World Cup matches beginning in June.
The 1072 West Peachtree project will ultimately stand 749 feet, making it Atlanta’s fifth tallest high-rise and supplanting Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel for the No. 5 spot. No taller skyrise has been built in Atlanta since 1992.

Crane Watch: True Atlanta skyscraper makes mark over points west, north

Perhaps you’ve seen it peeking up lately from Northside Drive. Or Howell Mill Road. Or the lower reaches of Buckhead. As legions of ATL development wonks have recently noticed, the city’s tallest skyscraper project in more than 30 years has started to make a definitive mark over the Connector freeway and several neighborhoods to the west and north. And in terms of vertical stacking, it’s just getting started. New York City developers Rockefeller Group relayed in April the 60-story 1072 West Peachtree project—set to become both the tallest residential and mixed-use building in Atlanta, and the fifth tallest in the city overall—had finished its base office and retail floors. As of Saturday, construction crews were working on the 18th story over the tower’s wider base, per our calculations. That means the project has about 22 stories left to climb, not including rooftop infrastructure and glass-panel ornamentation.

As another unofficial milestone, the tower’s height has now surpassed the nearby “Google building,” the tallest, 31-story office component of Selig Development’s tri-tower 1105 West Peachtree project. Judging by construction progress since our last Crane Watch update in early May, the 1072 West Peachtree project is rising at a clip of about one floor per week as summer approaches. Rockefeller officials have said the tower will include more than 350 high-end apartments for Midtown. The construction schedule now calls for topping out 1072 West Peachtree later this year. Described as a “trophy tower” designed by Atlanta-based architecture firm TVS, in collaboration with Brock Hudgins Architects, the project will include boutique, five-star Class A offices and the highest apartment views in Atlanta to date. The 224,000 square feet of office space will occupy floors 11 to 18, with perks that include 10-foot finished ceiling heights, city views on all floors, and flexible layouts, plus a large terrace on each floor. Rockefeller officials have called fitness and spa options for office tenants “unparalleled” for the market. CBRE has been hired to lead office leasing.
