Internet provider clears its Midtown space for cell phone company.

Sprint is opening a Midtown location.

The cell phone company will replace Clear Wireless Internet, in its Viewpoint space, according to Anthony Broussard, a contractor on location.

“This time next week, the space will look like a Sprint store,” Broussard told What Now Atlanta on a trip to the space Friday.

Clear removed its belongings Thursday, he said.

The internet service provider was not immediately available for comment.

  1. didn’t sprint just cut a deal with clear so they wouldn’t file for bankruptcy? I’m sure they will start replacing all of their stores.

  2. Wish they could fill out the remaining retail spaces and they need to do something with the front of the building… Novare is such a disgrace. Viewpoint and Twelve have the absolute worst street level interaction/streetscapes I’ve ever seen for a newer building. Metropolis and Spire aren’t bad, but I really wish Novare would crawl into a deep hole and never come back… they absolutely suck at what they do.

  3. This is very good news. It would be optimal of course to have an Apple Store there (surely the space and location are perfect for that) or a high end restaurant, but hey I will take a national level retailer like Sprint any day over the doomed for failure Clear. Now that 12th and Midtown are finally full, it will push development down toward 5th street which is the best part of Peachtree anyhow. Novarre is the worst kind fo developer but even they can only screw up things so long on a pice of real estate like Peachtree before market pressure finally does its thing., Hopefully this will bode well for the rest of Viewpoint and Spire filling their retail space (with something other than another frickin’ hamburger joint PLEASE).

  4. This is fantastic since you can actually get high speed coverage with Spring in Atlanta… unlike Clear. I couldnt even get Clear coverage on Myrtle Street a few blocks over from their fancy little office. Also, that you cant get hardly any AT&T coverage inside the AT&T headquarters building adds to the humor. I love Sprint and will be a returning customer as soon as I can justify paying $80-90 a month for a smartphone again.
