Awesome Atlanta Skyline Views

[@jatall2797]

Born and raised in Atlanta. I’m a 55 year old black gentleman. Seen a lot come and go! Honestly, I hated gentrification, but I have to admit, I can’t believe how much Atlanta has grown and changed, and I love it! I hate the cost of living now, but hopefully it will get better! This is a beautiful video production! As a native Atlantan that has traveled the world, no matter where I visited, it always made me appreciate Atlanta even more! I have always loved living here, and still do! But BY FAR.., out of all the skyscrapers and amazing growth.., my absolute favorite thing in all of the changes… IS THE BELTLINE! I am crazy about the beltline! And not just the main circle.., but all the connecting trails everywhere as well! The beltline is a home run!!! The gentrification overshadowed everything for a long time, but hopefully the real laid back spirit of southern charm will dominate as the prevailing culture! … Southerners speak to each other, we check on neighbors, we are courteous drivers, we say please and thank you, we hold the door open, we give hugs, we respect adults and elders, we don’t use profanity in front of children and older people, etc… that’s the southern way! We understand that people in the north don’t speak, don’t make eye contact, stay to themselves, can be rude, disrespectful etc as the norm… but you’re not up north.., you’re living in the south now.., so chill out.., relax, calm down, slow down… maybe you newcomers will get it after a while.., we native Atlantians certainly hope so! There is a lot of money and business here! No need to come with the criminal minds or toxic behavior! You can make legit money in Atlanta! Start a business, change your life, get to know business people around you.., Atlanta is that place! All the crime, gangs, and hustlers from other cities.. just know you’re in Atlanta now.., it’s not cute.., you look ignorant and out of place here bringing all the toxic drama. Just stop it! You’re in an entrepreneurial city, a professional city, with amazing people.., leave the old craziness behind.., and start you a brand new life here in Atlanta.., it’s the right place! We must keep it that way.., it will take all of us to make sure that happens!… Meanwhile.., welcome.., we hope you love and appreciate Atlanta as much as we do!

Thanks for your comments. Well said! Atlanta is a beautiful place .

Lived in Atlanta late 70s and then again early 90's. Explosive growth, multiple skylines and there is no end in site. WOW. I must say of all the skyline drone vids I have seen, this is the most complete. You include all angles from all areas and include new buildings with a multitude of cranes signifying...they're not done yet. Outstanding!

[@TheSkylineKing]

Thanks for your viewing and comment! The growth in ATL is amazing. In the last 5 years Atlanta core has outpaced every US city except NYC in number of High-rises/Skyscrapers. In the Last 25 years Metro Atlanta is fourth (behind NYC,Miami and Chicago)

This is the best one yet. Love the sharpness and color contrast of the video. O4W and West Midtown looks unrecognizable with all the growth from the past few years.

Most cities would love just to have the Buckhead skyline,, amazing.

[@TheSkylineKing]

Uptown ATL (Buckhead) listed seperately would literally be the 19 largest ( # of buildings) and the 24th tallest skyline in the US

[@Dazzed-kj5kf]

I can recall when Atlanta was the size of Birmingham. That place has grown so much

[@TheSkylineKing]

Thanks for viewing! There has been an incredible amount of growth in Atlanta.

I love Atlanta! I was there in June this year as tourist from the Czech republic, Europe. Every place was clean, people so kind, lots of attractions. It was better to be in Atlanta than in New York. I must definitely go back next year.

[@TheSkylineKing]

It is an awesome city with a wonderful energy! Thanks for viewing.

[@mambamba]

I agree I am from The Netherlands. I love Atlanta, very clean, people are very friendly for such a big city. I love the urban greenery as well, and most all is well maintained. I love the MARTA too and got around the city by it, and I think people (Americans) in general are fearful type of people for not using it based on incidents. Just take precautions.

[@tedcnnturner]

​@@mambamba I was in New Yourk last May, living in Manhatan and I met a guy from The Netherlands there :-) He was also living in the same flat (via Airbnb) at the same time. I was there with my fried from Poland (I am form the Czech republic). I must definitely return to ATL this year (probably in May again).

This is a great video. A few things. Yes Atlanta is really spread out and massive. It has many parts. Very beautiful drives here if you get a chance. Also Atlanta is in the middle of one of the biggest (temperate) Forrests in the world. There is tons of green so you can’t always see everything until your on street level because of the trees but that is one of the things that makes Atlanta so special. Thanks for this awesome video.

Love your drone videos! I can't believe how big Midtown Atlanta is getting, wow. I just read an article they're about to build a tall skyscraper there that should be finished by 2025. Atlanta is gonna be unrecognizable.

[@TheSkylineKing]

Thanks for the views! Midtown is really filling in. At 733ft, the skyscraper, 1072 W Peachtree, should be a great addition to the skyline. Foundation work has been ongoing since late April. A crane should be rising in a few weeks.

[@DaleyWhaley91]

Thats so exciting, can't wait to see it being built and the finished product. Love ATL, I"m in Columbus, GA 90 miles south of it, its actually growing outrageously too. @@TheSkylineKing

[@TheSkylineKing]

@@DaleyWhaley91 I visited Columbus last fall.. It's a beautiful town.. I was surprised at the amount of growth occurring there.. The downtown area was very lively with great energy/vibe. A good mixture of restaurants, shops and bars; the river front with the gentle white water rafting was great too. The city really should market itself as a great weekend getaway for those in metro ATL, Birmingham, Tallahassee, and Montgomery.. It should truly rival Savannah. Most people would be pleasantly surprised .

[@DaleyWhaley91]

@@TheSkylineKing yeah it’s gotten a lot better I will give it that. I’m a little over it but I do think it’s got a lot of potential. Crime is still kind of high but it’s getting better.

[@vj5225]

What makes Atlanta very unique in its own way is it is one of the only major cities in the United States to not border a large waterfront such as a river, lake or ocean. A big achievement.

[@TheSkylineKing]

Thanks for viewing! Dallas and Phoenix come to mind also.

[@vj5225]

@@TheSkylineKing Very true that's why I say "one of the only" and not the only city as it is one of very few to achieve this status 😉

[@willp.8120]

Is this your work, because if it is I must say you did a fantastic job? The clarity of the images, the angles, the altitude for the proper perspectives, a mix of day and night, multiple skylines. It truly shows someone how the city truly looks in person, instead of the terrible angles and altitudes that some people use. I also think this was shot on a beautiful day where the sun glare worked to the best of the video. After all these years, the King and Queen still look as eloquent as the 80s when they were built. They were truly ahead of their time. It would be nice to see another few tall skyscrapers in the vicinity of them to give the Perimeter Center area more of a cohesive look like Buckhead, Midtown, and Downtown.

[@TheSkylineKing]

Thanks! The King and Queen buildings have certainly aged well. A few buildings dispersed in that area will make it more cohesive.

[@DoctorRickSanchez]

_Did you know there is another new tower coming to Georgia? It's at 1072 West Peachtree said to be about 10 feet taller than the Westin Peachtree plaza hotel & built right near the One Atlantic Center._

[@TheSkylineKing]

Thanks for viewing.. Yes.. well aware of 1072 W. Peachtree by the Rockerfeller Group. We follow Build_Atlanta on IG. They have photos of all the ongoing highrise and skyscraper developments in various stages in Metro ATL

3rd best skyline with its 17 skyscrapers?

[@antonioguglielmetti2661]

@@laingman0727"on it's way to arguably having" does not equal "is". Atlanta also has many mid sized buildings that hold the skyline together. People usually have high regards for Pittsburg's skyline despite being half the size of Atlanta.

Pretty decent skyline though it still has yet to even be mentioned in the same conversation as the top dogs NYC,Houston,Chicago,Paris, Singapore etc cuz we all know it’s still light years behind!!!

[@TheSkylineKing]

No American city can be listed in the same breath as NYC or Chicago. Paris? not much of a skyline there... AtL does not excel Houston in Avg Height of its top 50 (Houston #4, ATL #6) .. However, ATL downtown/midtown complex excels Houston (Houston has no answer) In terms number of buildings over 200ft within 10 mile core of Metro area,, ATL 326 Houston 275 Buildings.. Even when Houstons goes 30miles from the core(Woodlands 43.9 sq miles) ) It only has 312towers over 200ft ATL 327. People compare Houston( 640sq miles) to ATL (134sq miles). If you add Perimeter Center(Sandy Springs Dunwoody), and Cumberland (70sq miles) and you truly see ATL 204 sq miles of development excels All of Houstons 684 Sq Miles . Singapore excels Houston and ATL

[@Miss_TEXAS_713]

@@TheSkylineKing The fact you think tht Atl dwntwn && midtwn excel tht of Houston is laughable in itself🤣When Atlantas dwntwn or midtown doesn’t even compare to Dallas or Austin let alone#Houston And you should really do you research on Houston’s skyline bcuz it’s just as iconic as nyc Chicago && Paris and nothing in Atlanta even comes close in comparison bcuz not only does Houston beat atl in height it also wins in density && architecture as well, Obviously you’ve Either never been to Houston or at the very least you’ve never viewed it from the right angle bcuz Htowns skyline is massive and will only continue to grow,Not just tht but rubyhomes northwest analyzed over 895 million instagram posts featuring location hashtags for the top 25 largest instagram cities in the u.s and narrowed it down to the top ten (1)New York city(2)Los Angeles(3)Chicago (4)LAs Vegas (5)San Francisco (6)Washington Dc (7)San Diego (8) Seattle (9)Austin (10)Houston So srry to disappoint but Atlanta obviously didn’t make the list at all And just bcuz you think it’s skyline is all tht doesn’t necessarily mean everyone else will agree🤷🏿‍♂️And I could almost guarantee if you were to come to Htx and go up on the sky lawn at post Houston and see all those tourists up there taking pictures of themselves w/ tht gorgeous skyline as their backdrop like their posing in front of the Eiffel tower in Paris then you’ll see exactly wht I mean,So again Atlantas mediocre skyline is only observable domestically meanwhile Houston is recognizable internationally!!!

[@TheSkylineKing]

​@@Miss_TEXAS_713 I am speaking only on objective numerical data. The IG ranking you present only speaks to frequency of post about the city and nothing to do with quantification of objective skyline data. Houston is an awesome city.. It excels quite a few cites in average height of top 50, But when you get beyond that top 50, objective data shows that It is excelled In many ways by Miami, ATL and LA and in some ways by SF. Outside of the US, Houston skyline doesn't get much notice (It's really just NYC and Chicago). You are entitled to your subjective opinions and emotions, but they should be bothered and tempered by facts.

[@jarvisstradford7211]

The tallest building is the breaking American Building why they they put it in the middle between downtown and Midtown

[@TheSkylineKing]

In hind site, one of the best things to happen to the city of Atlanta skyline was the placement of One Atlantic Center (former IBM Tower) in 1987 and then the BoA Plaza in 1992 away from the city core. Both were built in close proximity to Arts Center and North Ave Marta Stations. One Atlantic Center, became the tallest in the city when completed, later surpassed by BoA Plaza and Truist Plaza in 1992. The placement of those towers created a central spine of sorts along which the skyline has formed. That 3.6 miles spine of development is the 4th longest in the USA (behind NYC, Chicago, Miami) ; Miami's downtown development is a lot more sparse north of the causeway. The ATL skyline is really becoming more cohesive and is shaping up to be the third largest skyline footprint in the USA as the rapid development around and between those towers increases.

[@TheSkylineKing]

Tallest in Midtown One Atlantic Center 820ft , Rockefeller Tower (currently under construction) 733ft, Promenade II 691ft, Tower Square 677ft and 1180 Peachtree (King&Spalding) 657ft Tallest Downtown Bank of America Plaza 1023ft Trust Plaza 871ft (with circular antenna 902ft) 191 Peachtree Tower 771ft Westin Peachtree Plaza 723ft Georgia Pacific Tower 697ft

[@TheSkylineKing]

The Bank of America Tower was actually built as Citizens and Southern Bank (C&S Bank) before a merger with Sovran Bank to become Nations Bank . C&S Bank originnaly had 19story circular tower on the site. That tower was demolished 1yr after the BoA Tower was completed. So placement of the existing BoA Tower likely simply related to land ownership.

[@jarvisstradford7211]

@@TheSkylineKing how is the Bank of America Plaza the tallest I just Google that they still saying it's a tallest building in Atlanta. That's why I like Chicago building better than a combined together Atlanta is spread out

[@TheSkylineKing]

@@jarvisstradford7211 Most northern cities are significantly older ,more dense, therefore less car-centric, so they tend to have one major skyline. All sunbelt cities (LA, Phoenix, Dallas, Houston,Atlanta, Miami) are highly car dependable and tend to have multiple skylines with several nodes of commercial/business development.

There is no such place as West Midtown. That area is the Westside. West Midtown was made up by gentrifying developers.

Westside is a lot larger than what was shown. Most of what is shown is Blandtown and Homepark (as noted in the video) I'm not a fan of the West Midtown moniker either but it seems to have gathered more traction than Upper Westside. My preference is Blandtown , or maybe Howell Mill
