Here now, an aerial tour of West Midtown’s changing skyline Josh Green Fri, 08/23/2024 - 14:25 It’s been a year since we’ve floated a drone over the Howell Mill Road corridor and surrounding blocks, and with this being Atlanta in the twenties, much has changed since.

Several large-scale developments have recently delivered or are nearing the finish of construction phases in West Midtown places such as Home Park, Blandtown, and Marietta Street Artery.

So it’s time for an update on what that means for the metro’s latest emerging skyline, which in terms of height and bulk is starting to resemble subdistricts such as Cumberland, Dunwoody, and the Emory University area—with significantly taller ambitions in the pipeline.

For this Aerial Tours installment, let’s have a sky-high look at the 1050 Brickworks spec office tower, the (nearly topped-out) Stella at Star Metals building, Interlock’s completed second phase, and the nearly 200 apartments that have recently opened at the landmark Goat Farm Arts Center.

All aboard—to the gallery above!
