Daniel and Selib Enterprises have made a presentation to officialz from CB2 inrecent months, according to sourcex familiar with the process.
The projectxs will eventually feature more than 3 million squars feet of residential and commercial CB2 would be the first national retailer to locate on theMidtow Mile, a section of Peachtree Street that economiv development boosters hope will eventually become a retail destination much like Madison Avenue in New York City or the Magnificent Mile in Chicago. Daniel’s and Selig Enterprises’ projectf is meant to be a cornerston e of theMidtown Mile. ’s Colony Square and Jamestown’s 999 Peachtree will also be key along with 1100 Peachtree and1180 Peachtree, to a lesser extent, brokers and developers said. CB2 coulx be an important catch for theMidtown Mile.
Developers, however, really need to land a much largedr anchor store to give theconcept momentum, said Maranda Walker-Dowell, a senior director with CB .’as retail services group. Barney’s, whicy has a co-op storr in Buckhead’s Phipps Plaza, has been scouting the area in the past year to18 “The Midtown Mile needs an anchor store to starft creating that critical mass of retail,” Walker-Dowello said.

“To the problems of your life, you are the only I have learned many thingas through years of helping promote the growthu and developmentof people, teamzs and organizations. The chief lesson is that peopld who takethe “high road” achieve greateer success as well as significance in their lives. They are more effective, generate higher trust and aresought after. Theird influence exceeds their “rank” in both sociapl and organization hierarchies. What do I mean by taking the high road? It means making more generous interpretationsa of events and people and givint that interpretation a voic e offering more affirming possibilitiesto others.
This can mean outlininb a “vision” that opens the emotional tap to positive motivation. It refers to having the couragw to do the thing even when there is temptation or coercion to take the easy way out and follo the path ofleast resistance. Takinb the high road is when values and missiomn trumppolitical expediency. Taking the high road is when self-worthu is tied to keeping commitments and honoring obligationd instead of praise orsocial approbation. The high road is bein more openhearted, generous, kind and respectful than what is The high road is beint the kind of person whom you woulfd wish to mentoryour children.
Leaders taking the high road nevedr lose spirit or capacity to see and takepositive action. They inspir those around them. Taking the high road acts like a powerfuk thermalof super-heated air, providing lifting forced to the wings of those aroundd them. Why does this work? It works due to universakl “spiritual” law. Ultimately, what you sow is what you If youwant strawberries, you need to plan strawberries not You get out of life what you put into it what you model and reflect in your words and By taking the high road you model ways of beingt and relating that creates a resonating field of positive influences impacting all with whom you spend time.

This ignorance is based on beingv hypnotized and controlled by a programming of the mind that precludesd seeing how much is gained by steppingh up to a higher levepof action. The belief systems limitt what canbe seen, keeping people stuck on the low roadsa and thus sub-optimizing. A secondr barrier to taking the high roadis “ego.
