W Downtown Atlanta Hotel & Residences atlantaSKYrise.com

The W Downtown Atlanta Hotel & Residences is scheduled to go into foreclosure as early as September 7th according to a Georgia Public Notice filing on August 12th. Since it opened, the W has had it’s fair share of troubles, including a complete absence of condo sales. They sold one penthouse unit upon opening, then nothing. After some time, they “dramatically” reduced their pricing, but even that failed to capture buyers. The condominiums are beautiful and designed to perfection. Perhaps the modern aesthetic doesn’t appeal to Atlanta buyers? In this market, it’s all about price, price, price. Could be we seeing another condo auction sometime in the future? I’ll keep you posted. If you are curious about the foreclosure notice, take a look after the break.
