Atlanta May Get Its Way On A Prime Piece Of Beltline Property
2007-08-09 12:53:20
Last September, we spoke a bit about the Gwinnett County developer, Wayne Mason, who took his ball (a 70 acre piece of proposed Beltline property) and went home. Well, Beltline officials announced, Tuesday, that a portion of that property may be sold to an investment team and developers to further advance the Beltline project.
If the deal closes, it would give Atlanta
city officials complete control over this property in regards to how it’s developed. There haven’t been a lot of clues as to the details of the deal, but here’s a small segment of what was released earlier this week.
The question of how much development will be allowed won’t be answered until a master plan is finished in about a year, Montague said. Here are some details she did release:
• The city’s share would be less than $25 million, what Mason paid for the out-of-service railroad corridor.
• The city would borrow the money from banks and private investors and repay the loans with pr

Where Am I? #1
2007-08-20 13:33:47
“Shall we play a game?”
Sorry, I saw bits and pieces or the 1980’s movie classic “Wargames” this past weekend, and I couldn’t resist. What I am not kidding about is our new contest here entitled, Where am I. Plain and simple, earn fame and fortune guessing, by the picture below, where I am.
P.S. Be as specific as possible. “Somewhere in Atlanta” isn’t nearly as good as “You’re in Metropolis”, which also isn’t nearly as good as “You’re on the 3rd floor, unit 301 of Metropolis”.
P.P.S. Metropolis is not the answer!!!
Dekalb Ave. Condos and Townhomes, Oh My!
2007-08-17 14:39:34
Who’s been on Dekalb Avenue lately? If you haven’t, you are in for a real surprise. For those of us who live in the area, Dekalb Avenue has gone from a lonely road full of warehouses and small industrial complexes to condo and townhome central. In the past two years, there have been 8 or so projects completed, getting started, or just breaking ground on Dekalb Avenue. So, I have decided to focus on just the new ones that are still being built or have not yet started. Otherwise, this blog entry would be two pages long, and you would lose all interest.
Axis: I don’t know what the final product will be like (there are pictures on the website), but man is their marketing superb. Located at 1300 Dekalb Avenue, they boast of their “exciting, sophisticated, and contemporary floor plans.” The 3 phases of Axis include green space, a dog walk, and my favorite thing – blue wood Earthcraft homes. Good for the architects and builders to go green on this one. And the price seems to stun
Atlanta Real Estate Developers Take Your Pet Needs To Heart
2007-08-17 07:10:58
I stumbled across this article in the AJC on Wednesday and decided that kudos should be given to some area developers who seem to have the best interests of pet owners in mind. With the addition of attended dog parks, grooming services and other pet friendly amenities within or attached to new developments, buying and living in an intown Atlanta
loft or condo is becoming much easier for you and your pet.
“There really wasn’t any area you could go and walk the dogs without being in the middle of the city,” said Giradot, who ended up buying a condo at the Art Foundry in Atlantic Station, which includes a large, tended dog park.
Scott Leventhal, president and CEO of Tivoli Properties, is prominently promoting the pet-friendly aspects of his new luxury development in Buckhead, Mezzo. In addition to an indoor pet respite area, Mezzo will include a space equipped for grooming and bathing.

Not two seconds after I posted the information about construction beginning on The Streets of Buckhead

It turns out that one of the hotels will be a “green hotel”. Barry Hotel
Partners is partnering to develop 1 Hotel & Residences, a 175 room luxury hotel with 100 condo units a spa and a restaurant within. They’ll start this portion of The Streets of Buckhead sometime in 2008 with a completion date set at 2010.

Triumph Lofts on Memorial Drive
2007-08-31 16:39:59
The Triumph Lofts
are being built in what else - an old Triumph Motorcycle parts distribution warehouse. How fabulous is that? Especially since you can see the old conveyor belt lines on the ceilings of some of the lofts. Tagged as “close to everything,” these lofts boast floor to ceiling glass windows, are very spacious, have individual balconies, and the Triumph spa pool with the immersion sun deck is very Miami even on Memorial
Blvd., and quite frankly, I think it is going to work. The view (even on a cloudy day) from the roof top deck is incredible as you look out over the old Cabbagetown mill stacks to the city where it spans from downtown to mid-town.
I had the pleasure of touring the construction site with Robi Sarkar of Triumph Development Partners who I promised I would quote. Here goes: Mr. Sarkar said, “Priced from 289K to the mid-300’s, Triumph’s 30 units (10 on each floor) offer a unique value to this developing corridor.&rdquo

Historic Oakland Cemetary gets a Green Neighbor

I thought I would ride my bike to the new Oakland
Park condos on Memorial Drive since I was going to go learn about the newest and true green condos in Atlanta, but then I got lazy and drove. I did walk a couple of blocks after parking though. I digress. Oakland Park condos are sexy, sleek, and way green, and being green is what makes them so fabulous. As the only condo in Atlanta that is seeking LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification - believe me, LEED is a difficult process for builders and developers, - this building has placed the standard very high for other condos going up in Atlanta. I will be very surprised if anyone else comes close to creating such a green building in the near future. Call me if you do.
Close to Cabbagetown, Grant Park, Reynoldstown, and even the Capitol, the condos offer bike racks, low volatile organic compound paints, large windows, bamboo floors, Energy Star appliances, rain barrels on the patios, and my favorite, the dou

Strolling in Castleberry Hill
2007-09-14 13:18:15
I decided to take a little stroll in Castleberry Hill today with my dog, Brutus, to get ready for the Loft Tour in October as well as the 4th Friday Art Stroll on September 28th. If you have not done the art stroll, I must tell you it is really cool. Of course, I am not sure I am cool enough, but alas, I have done it. Atlanta’s art district, as far as I am concerned, is in Castleberry Hill. You won’t believe the number of galleries amongst the lofts in this area. It is great. So today, Brutus and I did not do the whole “stroll,” but instead stuck to a bit of a circle going from Peters Street to right on Haynes then left on Walker, and then back left on Peters Street. The Art Stroll is much bigger and many more streets are involved. In fact, Castleberry Neighborhood Association is kind enough to tell individuals what galleries, businesses, and restaurants are involved in the stroll.

Castleberry Hill Shines
2007-09-13 08:56:54
I know that for some people, Castleberry Hill is “old news.” After all, many of the lofts have been there for a few years now. But I find Castleberry Hill more fascinating now than ever. If you have not been to the area, you must indeed go. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Castleberry Hill is the most complete warehouse district in Atlanta. Situated in the Southwest area of downtown Atlanta, the neighborhood offers exactly what in-town loft dwellers desire - or at least what I think they should desire. I will be doing a couple of posts on Castleberry Hill in the next week or two, so please come back for more groovy information. In the meantime, put the famous Castleberry Loft Tour on your calendars. On the 20th and 21st of October, see where “Atlanta’s hippest neighborhood opens its doors.”
