Looking for a great option for Georgia Tech Condo Housing? Then let me take you to a building near and dear to my heart. I bought a home in Spire in it’s pre-construction sales days when you had to lean against the wall to sign your contract and the building sold out in THREE WEEKS! Wow! I’ve since sold my place, but still love the community feel you get in the building. But, you too would be happy having YOUR Georgia Tech student living in Spire Midtown Atlanta.
Spire Midtown Atlanta was the next “child” of Novare Group after their ever popular Metropolis Midtown. (I’ve yet to review this building…stay tuned!) But, kinda like an automobile design, we learn as we go along. So, Novare improved on Spire with upgraded cabinetry in the kitchen’s and baths, a choice of cabinet colors (but only if you changed floors) and less studio floor plans and more one bedroom plans.
Constructed on the corner of 7th and Peachtree Streets, it certainly has taken its place as a Midtown Mile icon. And the moment you step in the lobby, you will certainly see why. Spire Midtown Atlanta is everything a condominium community should be, yet offers amenities and security that are sure to be important to any parent looking for Georgia Tech Condo Housing.
The lobby is…..striking. You truly like coming home, or welcoming guests here. Not the original color design when built, and in fact has been changed twice to the current design you see here on the right. 24 hour Concierge and Security greet you in the lobby. A secured “second lobby” is controlled access for residents, and the Concierge can send your guests up and control exactly which elevator and floor they are going to. Elevators are also controlled access, and resident can only access their parking level, amenities level and the floor where their home is located.
Spire Midtown Atlanta made quite an impression with their Sky Club on the 7th and 8th Floors. Internet stations, catering kitchen and wet bar, pool table and movie screen room were, and still are quite impressive. The stone and wood accents along with gas log fireplaces make for some inviting conversation areas.
The building is just 5 blocks from Technology Square where students can catch the Tech Trolley or The Stinger for transportation further into the Georgia Tech campus.
Spire Midtown Atlanta offers 18 different floor plans ranging from 678 sq. ft for a studio plan (yes they still did two studio floor plans, to 1,356 for a premium 2 bedroom home overlooking Peachtree Street. This building, I think, will be a timeless addition to Midtown Atlanta, and one you will be proud to call home.

In my first post, we talked about 
As students prepare to finish up the Spring Semester at Georgia Tech, they will be thinking about their housing options for the coming Fall semester. And so will their parents. As I’ve talked before, 
The Landmark Building sits on the corner of 5th and Peachtree Streets. Built in the 1940’s as an office building, it was converted to condominiums in 1999 when the Cornerstone Village project began. Homes in this building range from smaller 1 bedroom floor plans to larger 2 bedroom homes. All of them have exposed brick walls and open duct work, giving them a “loft feel.” Most of the 2 bedroom floor plans in this building are not completely closed off from the living space, but this can be done with some minor remodeling.
Next, we have the historic Manor House, located on the corner of 6th and Peachtree. This famed building was designed by the noted architect, Neil Reed, who has designed numerous buildings around Midtown Atlanta. Most all of the homes in this building are 1 bedroom floor plans, but are quite spacious and were nicely upgraded when the building was incorporated into Cornerstone Village in 1999. This building houses the fitness center, a laundry room (from it’s past days as an apartment building) a movie theater and the property management office.
Lastly we have the Gallery Buildings, often called the 100 and 200 Buildings. These newer buildings were new construction between 1999 -2001, and surround the pool and grilling areas. These two buildings offer the most variety of floor plans, from 1 bedroom, 1 bedroom den to full 2 bedroom homes.
It’s been a few years since I went to college. But the memories are quite fond. Maybe not of studying and final exams, but certainly of college life in general. It was my first opportunity to live away from my parents. (Yippie!) But, I can also remember HOW scared I was at the same time!! Meeting all these new people, fitting in with them in some form or fashion, and also being able to “start out fresh” from high school. WOW…there was lots to think about! Of course, Georgia Tech Parents want to know where their student is going to live?
But after the first year, I was off to bigger and better things, living off campus in apartment or houses. While my parents still paid my rent, or a portion of it, I was still renting. Paying someone else’s mortgage payment. It worked for my situation, but perhaps as a Georgia Tech parent, you might want to look at your students’ housing as a potential investment.
I know, you think “invest in real estate in this market?” Actually, this is the BEST time to invest in the real estate market, especially
