The Midtown Alliance Design Review Committee (DRC) on Tuesday during its last scheduled meeting for 2020 heard a proposal for improvements to 1280 West. The DRC Wednesday published a report outlining its feedback for the project that would bring renovations to the 40-story condo tower on 16th Street between West Peachtree and Spring Street, at 1280 W Peachtree St. NW.
Architectural and design firm Lord Aeck Sargent presented the plans on behalf of the Homeowner’s Association (HOA) for 1280 West, in which the HOA seeks to “update the post-modern building with an exterior ‘refresh’ that includes modifying the building façades and roofing to accentuate the verticality of the tower and to address deferred maintenance items,” according to the DRC’s recap.
“The current scope is limited primarily to new painting and lighting among other minor updates to bring the circa 1989 building up to date with its neighbors.”
The DRC made a handful of recommendations including adding “improvements that would benefit the street-level façades and provide important upgrades to the pedestrian environment surrounding the property.” The DRC also asked that consideratons for landscape and circulation improvements be made in an effort to “create safer accessibility for pedestrians and vehicles.”
Lord Aeck Sargent said it would take the feedback into consideration as it moves to the permitting phase of planning. A timeline for submitting the plans to the City was not immediately made clear.
