One Museum Tower – A Midtown Atlanta Condo Building Reborn!

December 23, 2013 by Thom Abbott

Back before the market crash, I think I had a bit of a “crystal ball” moment. I used to look at all the new buildings going up (and proposed) and said, “This is awesome, all this new construction, but who is going to fill all these buildings?” Well, we know what happened in Midtown Atlanta, and many other cities as well. But times, they do change, right?

One Museum Tower – A Midtown Atlanta Condo Building Reborn!

An article in the Atlanta Business Chronicle states the longtime Atlanta developer John Wieland has brought back One Museum Tower to Peachtree Street, across from the High Museum. On the right is actually a photo I took from INSIDE the High Museum, looking across Peachtree Street to the then vacant site back in 2007. At that time, the site had already been sitting there for well over a year.

At Midtown Alliance’s Development Review Committee last week, the building was introduced again, in a much smaller version. The original plans were for a 23-story building with some 90+ homes starting around $2 Million! (I wondered THEN where THOSE kinds of buyers were coming from?)

(Drawing/photo compliments of Midtown Patch/ABC)

Fast forward to this week, and we now have a very scaled down One Museum Tower… FIVE story building with only 48 homes, ranging in price from $700,000 to $2.5M. (I again have to wonder, are there that many condo buyers out there for this price point of a condo? Another building, Seventh Midtown has also been announced, pricing to start at $600,000 and go to $1M)

While it’s great to see the wheels of construction begin to turn, I hate to see a prime piece of Peachtree Street not see it’s potential when it comes to a high-rise building. Mind you, I’m sure the residents of Ansley Park (just behind this site) are jumping for joy at a smaller project with out the height!
Let’s see what happens with the new and improved One Museum Tower!
Below is the building proposed about 7 years ago!

Viewpoint Midtown Atlanta | Rare 2 Bedroom Opportunity!

November 7, 2013 by Thom Abbott

It’s no secret that I love Viewpoint Midtown Atlanta! I’ve been selling this building since it was first under construction back in 2006!!

Every Midtown Atlanta Condo building has it’s great points. Some love a building for it’s location, others for the gym, and maybe the fact that it has a grocery store on the first level!

But Viewpoint Midtown has a great central location in Midtown, on Peachtree Street between 6th and 7th Streets. Since its construction, the retail portion of the building has floundered…at best. It has recently been sold, and I’m hopeful the new owners of this space will be focused on bringing some much needed retail (and I suspect a restaurant will appear as well) in the near future. But don’t let THAT stop you from experience this great Midtown Atlanta living option.

I just saw this two bedroom home come on the market! It’s the most popular “02” floor plan on the front corner of the building overlooking Peachtree Street. This particular listing is on the 12th floor, giving you skyline views but also just above the beautiful Zen garden on the 11th floor!

If you are looking for a great opportunity to call Midtown Atlanta home…call me and let’s take a look at this home!

NOTE: Listing Compliments of Above Atlanta.

We're sorry, but we couldn't find MLS # 5216943 in our database. This property may be a new listing or possibly taken off the market. Please check back again.

Midtown Atlanta Condos For Sale | Ansley Above The Park Condominiums

November 4, 2013 by Thom Abbott

Ansley Above The Park Condominiums is THE closest high rise condominium building to Piedmont Park! (Yes there are other buildings closer, but NOT a high rise!

Although Ansley Above The Park was built in 1988, don’t let that keep you from experiencing what is unique about this building.

Eleven different floor plans combine for a total of 127 homes. Of course, since the building was built in 1988, the best option is to find a home that has been renovated or it will be dated in finishes. On the flip side of that, a home that has not been renovated will give the buyer more flexibility in remodeling and creating the home they desire!

Each home has a private balcony with electricity, not found in many condominium buildings. I’ve often said this is such an overlooked, but awesome PLUS in a condominium building. You can have a water feature and along with a variety of potted plants….create your own “garden in the sky.” Pretty cool.

Ansley Above The Park amenities include a swimming pool and deck on the 4th Floor, a roof top terrace on the 11th Floor, as well as a club room and exercise room.

Ansley Above The Park also has a guest suite with separate entrance to the pool, full kitchen and washer/dryer. It can be reserved by the residents for up to 7 days at a time.

Underground parking, a 24-hour concierge and newly renovated lobby and elevator foyers complete Ansley Above The Park.

Midtown Atlanta Condos For Sale | Aqua Midtown Atlanta

October 29, 2013 by Thom Abbott

When shopping for a Midtown Atlanta Condo, you will find that every building has it’s own “feel.” Whether that is created by the design, decorating, or something else, you really have to see each building to know what it is like. When I’m working with a condo buyer in Midtown Atlanta, I make a point to show them every building, even if there are no current homes listed in the building, so they get some of that “feel” for the building. One building that has a unique feel is Aqua Midtown Atlanta.

Aqua Midtown Atlanta is located on the corner of 10th and West Peachtree Streets. As you enter into Midtown via the Downtown Connector, this building stands out with its blue glass window front and signature “oval” on the top. This corner location offers convenience PLUS! For the busy traveler, you are just off the Downtown Connector if driving, or just across the street from the Midtown MARTA station if mass transit is best for you to get to the Atlanta airport. Just behind the building is the Midtown Publix Market, located in Plaza Midtown. This location is also just a couple blocks for the restaurants and shopping of 12th and Midtown!

Once inside Aqua Midtown Atlanta, the lobby is graced by a massive water feature along one wall of the lobby. One might think, “Why so many elevator doors?” a unique feature only found in this Midtown Atlanta condo building is semi-private elevators that service the homes. You step on the elevator, select your floor, and the elevator doors open into a private foyer….for your home only!!!

One, two and three bedroom homes offer a variety of floor plans, views and amenities. Aqua Midtown Atlanta was the first condo building to offer 3 bedroom homes…not a combination of two homes, but original design. As such, these spacious homes are well thought out and offer incredible living space and views from the Northeast corner of the building.

If you are looking for a Midtown Atlanta Condo, and want something unique and different, then Aqua Midtown Atlanta is one place you need to see, and “feel.”
