Unlike any other condo building in Atlanta, The Brookwood knocks it out of the park with an amenities are made for relaxation, interaction and entertaining. From the street level, you would have no idea there is a lap pool, large club house (with a gym, billiards room, media room, outdoor fireplace, catering kitchen, gym, yoga) and an inviting lawn space. It was such an amazing day when I went to photograph. I really wanted to just sit down on one of the many benches and relax for a while, taking in the sunshine and views.

I knew The Brookwood was going to be a really special property when I had my first site visit. There is so much to love about the project and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do. The building is set at the edge of a historic neighborhood (called Brookwood) and this ideal location makes for convenient walks through tree-lined streets, taking in old Atlanta. Living at Peachtree & 28th has it’s advantages. You are minutes away from Midtown’s great restaurants, nightlife, shopping, museums, galleries and so much more.   Click Here for More Photos & the Rest of the Feature

I just left the W Midtown and the Aqua auction. It proved to be quite a success, with all but 4 units sold. There were about 200+/- people in attendance with roughly 30-40 Accelerated Marketing Partners staff running around keeping track of bids, winners and the entire process. 

AMP started off with a practice run on the first unit, so people would feel comfortable once the bidding began. After that, the real bidding started and didn’t stop until almost every unit had been offered. They skipped over two units completely, but didn’t really say why. Two units didn’t get the slightest bit of interest, including the largest unit offered and the lowest floor unit with the largest terrace.

Take a look at the breakdown of what happened.

*Update* 3 of the remaining units were sold after the auction as well. I’ll get more detail on this and update my chart. Thanks Misty!

Many people think auctions have a negative impact on the market, but look at the bright side. All of the remaining inventory will be sold, the new market price has been set, there are no more unknowns about what units will be selling for, the home owners gain control over their HOA and re-sale inventory that has been sitting on the market will have their prices re-adjusted to the new levels.

Most of all, the auction was interesting and exciting to watch. I’m sure this is not going to the last auction we see in Atlanta. I have my thoughts on whose going to be next…. If you want to join me at the next one, let me know! 

In about two hours, Accelerated Marketing Partners will be auctioning off the 20 remaining developer units at Aqua. The actual auction will take place at the W Downtown Atlanta Hotel & Residences. I’ll be attending and will Twitter as it’s happening, so add me to your Twitter list! 

These days, most developers are being kind of quiet about their projects. The Atlantic is no exception. If you have been to Atlantic Station in the past year, you probably have noticed a huge 46 story, 540 feet high building towering over the project. It’s Art Deco in it’s nature, but has some very contemporary twists inside and out.

It’s kind of hard to miss this building because it’s the tallest residential building in Midtown.  Click Here for More Photos & the Rest of the Feature
