[h2]Compound closing[/h2]
Compound, one of Midtown's few remaining big dance clubs, is shutting its doors after New Year's.

But the space isn't going to become condos or high-end retail. Rather, the owners plan to tear down the two existing buildings on the property and rebuild a brand new hotspot by the end of 2008, according to spokeswoman Tara Murphy.
She said the Gidewons, who owned Vision nightclub before it was torn down in 2006 for condos, aren't yet divulging the new concept but they promise more parking.
Compound, in a former industrial area that's rapidly filling up with condos and homes, opened in 2004 and quickly became a draw for musicians, athletes and Paris Hilton types, punctuated by its lovely Japanese outdoor garden, a trendy lounge space and a separate dance club.
The Gidewons purchased Compound in 2006 at about the same time Vision closed.
Murphy said the Gidewons are also building out a dance club and restaurant at 1068 Peachtree St., a space which used to house the Cotton Club and Velvet nightclub. She said they hope to have that still unnamed club open by late winter.
The going-away Compound party New Year's Eve costs $30 in advance and $40 at the door. Go to www.compoundatl.com for tickets. Q100's Dylan Sprague will be there to pop the champagne.
Keep your head up P. All is not lost yet...![]()
