Portman pitches scaled-back Amsterdam Walk plan

Why it matters: The long-running debate over how big the developer could build on the roughly 11-acre warehouse district looking on to Piedmont Park will shape the look and feel of the newest stretch of the Beltline.

Catch up quick: Portman has scaled down its development vision for the Beltline frontage property once already after some Virginia-Highland and Morningside-Lenox Park residents voiced concerns about the proposed density and potential car traffic the development might attract.

• Instead of building a mix of towers reaching up to 17 stories as they originally wanted, Portman is proposing three nine-story buildings — think less foxy, more boxy.
• The project's density — 1.2 million square feet — has not changed, according to Urbanize. The developer has slimmed down the public plaza space between the buildings to accommodate the changes.
