Lifestyle & Perks
-
History & ambience: If you like character — old brick, high ceilings, architectural features — Palmer & Phelan deliver.
-

-
Blend of old + new: Owners get classic design with modern amenities.
Drawbacks / Things to Watch
-
Because it’s historic, construction standards may differ; some units might require more maintenance than newer builds.
-
Limited amenities compared to large luxury high-rises (no big gym, pool, etc, from what public listings show).
- Being in Midtown, you get noise, traffic, and activity — pros or cons depending on your taste, especially since the buildings are not high rise and are right on, or next to Peachtree Street.
-
Smaller building means fewer “extras” and perhaps less fluid property management resources.
