Would love to see this developer add apartments and retail along High Street to mask the parking area.

Atlas' newest owner wants to turn it into apartments
Historic 12-story tower sells for 2nd time in 3 months
Wednesday, March 2, 2011 02:52 AM
BY MARLA MATZER ROSEThe historic Atlas Building has changed hands for the second time in three months, with its new owner planning a multimillion-dollar renovation to turn the Downtown office building, at 8 E. Long St., into apartments.
Schiff Capital Group closed a deal on Friday to acquire the building, erected in 1905 and designed by architect Frank L. Packard, and its adjacent 130-space surface parking lot from Carey Realty Investments.
Michael Schiff, principal of Schiff Capital, said it likely will cost about $15 million to renovate the 12-story building with marble lobbies and detailed stonework into 110 to 120 one- and two-bedroom units.

Just checked out the City Hop Tour stops and the Atlas building is on it! Great to know this building is going to get a major facelift!

The Downtown Commission agenda included an item for conceptual review of the renovation of this building (conversion of upper floors to residential) together with plans to develop the adjoining parking lot to the north on High with ground floor retail below two to four stories of residential. There are also plans for a courtyard and parking structure. Unfortunately, the review has been withdrawn for this meeting of the Commissiom but it is expected to be presented on at next month's meeting.
As we haven't heard much recently on this since it was acquired (see article above), we can rest assured that it is in fact moving forward. And who knows, maybe we will rid ourselves of an unsightly surface lot on High in the process!

Are you talking about the surface lot that Nationwide does the large staged advertising? This may be going away?

That's how I understood it from the way it was written and this is consistent with the news articles referenced above, which note that the adjoining lot was purchased by Schiff at the time his group acquired the building.
Now, I don't know if the parcel he bought includes the entire gap between the Atlas and the Bankruptcy Court. A quick search of the Auditor's site should clear that up...

Nice, I had no idea that the Atlas conversion was going to include a brand new residential and retail building in that adjacent lot. Great news to see one more surface lot being developed. I wonder just how many surface lots have gone away since the 2002 development plan.

Yes, wonderful news to see such prominent land on High being develope! And the Auditor's site confirms that all parcels between the Atlas and the building being leased to the Bankruptcy Court (170 N. High) were acquired by 8 E Long Holdings LLC--the same owner as the Atlas. Hopefully, they have plans to develop the entire stretch!

I saw this in the agenda. Will have to reach out to them for more details. Glad to hear that there's an additional new-build component in addition to the renovation of the existing building.
