Real estate round-up: Tyler Perry, Greenbriar megaproject and a new hotel
Here's your development round-up.
🎬 Tyler Perry Land: The Atlanta-based media mogul is planning an entertainment district totaling up to 1.3 million square feet on 38 acres he owns at Fort McPherson, according to a state filing.
The property is adjacent to Perry's 330-acre studio complex. The project would include a "variety of building uses, including office space, retail space, theatre, and associated parking."
🏡 Greenbriar's mega project: A New York-based developer wants to build more than 1,000 apartments and 250,000 square-feet of retail on 26 acres near Greenbriar Mall, the AJC reports.
Invest Atlanta, the city's economic development arm, approved a $5 million loan to help New York-based developer Mural Real Estate Partners purchase the land that straddles Atlanta and East Point.
In December 2024, Develop Fulton, the county's development authority, gave preliminary approval to a $23 million tax break for " Project Nexus," a code-named and secretive real estate deal that lines up with Mural's plans.
🏨 Origin's story: A South Downtown hotel that long sat in construction limbo is now open for business.
Origin Hotel Atlanta, a Wyndham hotel, sits blocks away from City Hall and the Georgia Capitol in South Downtown, a likely hub during the FIFA World Cup.
Features include an onsite restaurant and bar, gym and a top-floor event space with skyline views.
🌳 Fairburn mixed-use plan: Portman Holdings is moving forward with Meadow Glen Village, a 323-unit apartment community with a town green and space for retail and restaurants.

David Letterman On Colbert's Firing: ‘This Is Pure Cowardice'

More Wargo/NBC via Getty Images) One week after Stephen Colbert announced CBS would be canceling his Late Show, the late-night program's original host, David Letterman, has weighed in. Letterman, who began Late Show in 1993 upon his move from NBC to CBS, shared his thoughts on his official YouTube channel Friday, speaking with longtime colleagues Barbara Gaines and Mary Barclay. Colbert took the Late Show reins from Letterman in 2015, continuing to host the show from New York's historic Ed Sullivan Theater. He broke the news of the show's cancellation on his July 17 episode. A subsequent statement from CBS said the cancellation was 'purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night.' Count Letterman among that statement's many skeptics: 'This is pure cowardice,' he told Gaines and Barclay. 'Here's what I know: If they were losing this kind of money, you're telling me losing this kind of money happened yesterday? I bet they were losing this kind of money a month ago. I'll bet they were losing this kind of money six weeks ago, or they have never been losing money. They did not do the correct thing. They did not handle Stephen Colbert, the face of that network, in the way he deserves to have been handled.' Letterman, 78, echoed sentiments that Colbert's removal had to do with appeasing the Trump Administration, as CBS corporate parent Paramount aims to complete a $8 billion merger with Skydance Media. Though he once welcomed President Trump on his show in 2015, Colbert has long been one of his harshest critics on television. 'For Stephen, I love this," Letterman said. "He's a martyr…and if you listen carefully, you can hear them unfolding chairs at the Hall of Fame for his induction.' He had less reverence for Skydance Media founder David Ellison, son of Oracle founder Larry Ellison--referring to the pair as 'The Oracle Twins." 'Why don't they just go buy the Dairy Queen or something? Stay out of this business.' The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is set to conclude its 11-year run in May of 2026. It was recently nominated for Outstanding Talk Series at the 77th annual Emmy Awards.

Ben Stiller to Explore His Parents' Legacy in New Documentary, Set for October Release
Stiller called it a "great honor to celebrate" his parents, adding that he has "come to know them in new ways through the making of this film" Ben Stiller is bringing his parents' story to life in a personal new project. The 59-year-old actor and director is joining forces with Apple Original Films to direct and produce a documentary titled Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost, which will chart the lives of his famous parents Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. 'I feel very fortunate to be partnering once again with the incredible team at Apple TV+, this time on a project that is very personal to me and my family," Ben said in a statement. "It's exciting to finally get to share it with audiences; and a great honor to celebrate my parents, both as I knew them growing up, and as I've come to know them in new ways through the making of this film.' Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost will premiere in select theaters on Oct. 17, before coming to Apple TV+ on Oct. 24. Ben's film explores his parents' "impact on both popular culture and at home, where the lines between creativity, family, life and art often blurred," per Apple's logline. Jerry and Meara worked as a comedy act before pursuing solo careers in the 1970s. Jerry went on to star in hit projects such as The King of Queens and Seinfeld. As for Meara, she appeared in Awakenings in 1990, and several TV shows, including Archie Bunker's Place, Oz and Sex and the City. Both stars shared the screen with Ben over the years, with all three appearing in 1995's hit Heavyweights. Meara joined forces with her son on 2006's Night at the Museum, and Jerry's final acting projects involved collaborations with his son in 2016 on Zoolander 2 and the animated TV movie Zoolander: Super Model. After meeting a year prior, Jerry and Meara tied the knot in 1954. They welcomed their daughter Amy Stiller in 1961. Four years later, they gave birth to Ben. Anne died at 85 in May 2015. Jerry followed almost exactly five years later in May 2020 at 92.

Appearing on the Today show after his father's death, Ben expressed joy that his parents were able to reunite in the afterlife, saying, "They found each other and they were there for each other." He continued, "Not to get too sappy, but I feel like they're connected again." During a June 2024 appearance on the Hey Dude…The 90s Called! podcast, Ben said that he had "amazing memories" with his parents, recalling time spent no sets and "going with my parents whenever they would go out and do, you know, do nightclubs or go to see them in the theater." He added that he "loved" being on set with his parents, explaining how much he enjoyed "just to see the behind-the-scenes of what they were doing. I realized pretty young that I loved directing and movie making and was fascinated by that and wanted to learn about that." Ben previously worked with Apple TV+ on Severance. He is an executive producer on the show and has directed several episodes. Read the original article on People
