Another new complex is heading to Buckhead.

Atlanta-based Coro Realty Advisors plans to soon begin work on its long rumored apartment complex on Piedmont Road. The complex will be built in place of the former Bridgetown Grill / Bertucci's Pizza restaurant on Piedmont Road, in front of LA Fitness and across the street from Terminus. The restaurant building was demolished a few years ago and has sat vacant ever since.

The artist's rendering seems to show at least a few hundred units and at least a half dozen ground level retail / restaurant spaces.

Coro has been quite active in capitalizing on their existing assets by adding residential components to their properties. In Buckhead Place, Coro previously built "05 Buckhead," a 20-story, 155 unit luxury apartment complex in 2009.

Coro also separated its Brookwood Place property in south Buckhead to create two projects . Brookwood Place would remain intact on the south end of the center while Coro partnered with Grayco to develop a 249 unit apartment complex in place of the northern portion of the center.

As a proud Buckhead homeowner, I'm pleased to see development. I worry though, with over 10,000 new units recently completed, under construction, or announced, that the streets and infrastructure of the area can't support this tremendous boom in residential development.

Especially in the case of Maple Drive and Stratford Road, for there to suddenly be nearly 600 new units on each road, it sounds like an added traffic nightmare.

Below, I've compiled a sampling of Buckhead apartment complexes announced, under construction, or recently completed.

Although not especially close (in its current form) to any of the aforementioned complexes, PATH 400 has the potential to be a wonderful amenity for the Buckhead community. The 5.2 mile greenway path will eventually connect to the Atlanta BeltLine and will offer area residents a great bike / walk / run option close to home.

What are your thoughts on the dizzying number of new apartment units coming to Buckhead? What complex are you most intrigued / angered by? What one thing could the City of Atlanta, the Buckhead Coalition or any other group do to make transit better in Buckhead?
