3630 Peachtree is moving along now that the pool deck has been poured. I took some photos of the upper portion of the tower to show you the setback for the condos. Pope & Land, and everyone else involved in the project, has kept their information to themselves. I would have expected some information would have been released regarding what is happening to the condos. Ritz Carlton Residences? 

The Developer, Pope & Land, has owned the property for more than 20 years and graciously allowed the Church (and other community groups) to use the property for free. Though the Church has benefited from the property as a primary parking lot for all of those years, the Church has never owned the four-acre site. 

As always, the minute I hear something, I’ll let you know. There are some additional photos in this post.

Is the Ritz-Carlton planning to put their luxury brand name on the condo’s at 3630 Peachtree? I have heard this from a number of different sources, so I am wondering if there can be some truth to it. I think this would totally make sense for the project. I have heard the condo prices are going to be starting at $1,000,000. 

Consider this: 3630 Peachtree has no tenants lined up for the office/retail portion of the building (not that I am aware of). Also, I have no information on the condo portion of the tower other than what I have already posted. Wouldn’t it make sense to have a Ritz-Carlton branded residence at the project? 

That would make the entire building work, including the second tower that isn’t being built. Perhaps the second tower will turn into a new Ritz-Carlton hotel? Will they leave their property across from Lenox Mall in favor of a new, more modern hotel? 

The Ritz-Carlton in Buckhead was built in 1983 and was renovated in 2000. While still beautiful, the hotel is quite old and needs some serious attention to bring it into the modern world. Ritz is currently undergoing a much needed change and has begun to modernize their properties in lighter color pallets. No more dark trim! Atlanta is definitely ready for a change. 

Maybe this really is going to happen because the St. Regis is such a huge success. I for one am very curious to find out if this is true. As always, I’ll keep you posted… and I’d love to know what you think.

Construction is well underway at 3630 Peachtree. The first residential floor has been poured and they are now working on the upper portion of the tower. After a slow start and scaling back on the project, this is great news! These photos are for Phase 1 – South Tower.

I have it on good authority a major luxury brand will be sitting on top of the building, with condo prices  starting at $1,000,000. (I do mean major.) I can’t reveal what brand this is, but they are extremely well known and service and quality. The million dollar price tag seems to follow the trend for the major luxury condo projects being built in Atlanta. At press time, there were to be 137 residences, but I expect we are going to see a change in this number.

3630 Peachtree is well underway, it’s smoky glass facade enveloping the structure, rising from the ground. When I last inquired whether any tenants had leased space in the building, I was told they have not. I was surprised to say the least. I really want this project to succeed. The building is going to be a welcome addition to Buckhead. I think they are being very smart to only build one tower. They can always add the second tower later if they can lease all the office space and sell the 137 condominiums. You can view the webcam at the bottom of this post.
