Where Can I Buy Furniture for My Midtown Atlanta Condo | IKEA

July 20, 2014 by Thom Abbott

Where Can I Buy Furniture for My Midtown Atlanta Condo | IKEA

IKEA Atlanta at Atlantic StationCongratulations! You’ve closed on your new Midtown Atlanta condo, and you are moving in. As you moved out of that old rental apartment, you started to toss! I mean, I’ve got a new place! I want NEW stuff! I want it to be stylish and cool and you know….

Which probably means that old couch and maybe a recliner…they did not make the cut for the moving van! So now the question is, Where Can I Buy Furniture for My Midtown Atlanta Condo? We will look at numerous options in the Midtown area…and beyond. But let’s start with a close favorite….IKEA!  The Atlanta IKEA store is located alongside Atlantic Station off of 17th Street!

The IKEA concept comes from the idea of providing home furnishings that are affordable. If you’ve ever purchased anything at IKEA, you know the one way the keep costs down is to have you assemble the furniture yourself. Hence, you will see much of the items in big flat boxes. If the assembly gig is not for you, never fear. They now even have a service that will come and do the work at your condo for you!

IKEA AtlantaI’m not going to dish them, but I have purchased some items that did not hold up well, and others that are outstanding. My office desks/tables are all from IKEA! I once managed a corporate condo that was almost entirely furnished from IKEA…as you can see, it looked pretty nice!

But you can truly furnish your entire condo from this store! From silverware in the kitchen to towels in the bathroom, you can get most everything you need here. I’ve never purchased a bed from here, so I can’t speak for them. One thing I like about most of their furniture is its clean, simple lines. That big pillow sofa that your parents gave you may have fit in the apartment, but may not work well in your condo space. The furniture here is just designed to work well in the kind of space you get in a Midtown Atlanta condo!

If you are going to visit IKEA, here is the number one piece of advice I can give you….

DO NOT GO TO THE STORE ON A SATURDAY OR SUNDAY. EVER!

IKEA stores are known to draw from a wide geographic area. Look at this map of where stores are in relation to Atlanta…

IKEA STORES NEAR ATLANTA

 

The Atlanta store draws from Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee! So it’s a weekend destination! The store will be crowed, the parking lot packed, and the lines…..UGH!

You live locally, so take advantage of evening visits! Walk the store, get your ideas and either buy them then, or make a return visit, but just NOT on Saturday or Sunday. If you have a weekday off, stop by the IKEA restaurant for a breakfast special to fuel you for the store.

Why? If you’ve never been to an IKEA, they are HUGE! But the store is well laid out with displays that lead you through all the parts of the home. Everything is labeled, and you find most of it in the IKEA Marketplace, on the lower level. Furniture is found in the self-service area past the Marketplace and before you check out.

IKEA Atlanta! A perfect answer to the question, Where Can I Buy Furniture for My Midtown Atlanta Condo?

Black Friday Bash at Atlantic Station| November 23, 2012 2-9pm

November 20, 2012 by Thom Abbott

Atlantic StationFinally, something about the Thanksgiving holiday that is not what time the stores will open or what are you eating! How about a concert in Central Park with the Jam Out at Black Friday Bash @ Atlantic Station! 

What Is Atlantic Station?

If you’ve just landed in Atlanta for the holiday weekend, or just have not ventured ITP (Inside The Perimeter) from the burbs of Atlanta, Atlantic Station is one of the most successful brownfield redevelopments in the country! (The name comes from the Atlantic Steel Mill which use to occupy this site.) Now, Atlantic Station is an almost model live-work-play community located across the Downtown Connector from Midtown Atlanta proper. ( Exit 17th Street via I-85/75 North or South to get to Atlantic Station)

Some 45 merchants and restaurants await you when visiting Atlantic Station. The list (and their hours of operation on Black Friday are below!)

Who Will Be Performing at Black Friday Bash?

Some great groups will be on hand to entertain from 2pm until 9pm!

Jam Out at Black Friday Bash at Atlantic Station

 

You Said There were some 45 Merchants at Atlantic Station?

Yes…I did…and it even kind of surprised ME!

Atlantic Station Stores and Shops

I just might be dancing on the streets and in the Park! Hope to see you there!

Miami’s Crescent Heights to buy unsold Atlantic Residences condos

January 21, 2012 by Thom Abbott

Atlantic Condos Sold to bulk BuyerVia Scoop.it – Midtown Atlanta Condos

An affiliate of a Miami real estate company has reached an agreement to purchase the remaining unsold condos in Midtown’s 401-unit The Atlantic Residences, according to sources familiar with the transaction.

An affiliate of Crescent Heights is the buyer, according to sources. The company could not comment, said Roman Speron, operations manager at Crescent Heights. The company is known for intown Atlanta projects, including the 34-story Mayfair Renaissance.

It’s unclear whether it will keep The Atlantic units as condos or convert them to rentals. The 47-story building rises over Atlantic Station and is one of the most visible towers on the Midtown skyline.

WOW…..if they all become apartments…..imagine the 73 owners and what they will be able to do, (or NOT) with their condo.

On the flip side of this….this will take a HUGE chunk of inventory out of the market if in fact they convert them to rentals. For Sellers, less competition. For Buyers…less to choose from? What will the outcome be for the market?
