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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@DoctorRickSanchez Atlanta population does not compare to Chicago or LA; nor does its skyline compare to Chicago.. But its Downtown/Midtown Skyline excels LA's in sIze and number of buildings (though not height)
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.
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.
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
@@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 .
@@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.
_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._
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
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.
@@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.
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.
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!!!
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) ..

Even when Houstons goes 30miles out from the core and incude The Woodlands (43.9 sq miles area ) 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) , you truly see that 204 sq miles of development in the ATL area excels All of Houstons 684 Sq Miles .

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.
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
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.
