1010 Midtown Views are spectatcular!

1010 Midtown homes offer amazing views from all sides of the building and from all of the homes. The 10 decorated models in the building showcase a variety of scenes and skylines from Midtown Atlanta, Downtown Atlanta, to even Piedmont Park views.

It's hard to decide which view is better. Looking down the Peachtree corridor into the Downtown Vista is quite spectacular and since the Federal Reserve building sits adjacent to 1010, the views will never be blocked.


From the other side of the building, the views look at the opposite direction into a northern Midtown Atlanta scene with a gorgeous angle of the Four Season, the Atlantic Center Plaza, The Promenade and 1180 Peachtree. This looks even more brilliant at night when the buildings are all illuminated.

The model homes at 1010 Midtown are open for viewing, so you can go by and take a tour to see the views for yourself.

How about some positive figures about the Atlanta real estate market?



While the last few years have been primarily doom and gloom for the Atlanta real estate market, however, a guest column in the Atlanta Business Chronicle, by Steve King with the Greater Atlanta Homebuilder Association provides some refreshingly positive statistics about the state of the Atlanta real estate market

Unsold housing inventory has decreased 31% year-over-year, and fell 42% since December 2006, according to the article. King cites inventory levels have decreased to 2002 levels, largely due to increased incentives by builders, irresistible deals, and remarkably low interest rates.

He predicts that the Atlanta real estate market is on it's way to recovery in a short amount of time. So, if you've been looking for that condo in Midtown, a house in Buckhead, or any other type of home in Atlanta, now may be the perfect time to make that move.

Brookwood Condos to Open Soon




The Brookwood, the new condo development by Regent Partners and Urban Realty Partners is slated to open this month.


The Buckhead condo homes, located at the intersection of Peachtree and 28th Streets, are beautifully appointed and designed by Cecconi Simone & John Oetgen Design firms.


The slated Brookwood amenities include a Junior Olympic saline pool, fitness center with yoga room, Clubrooms, lounge areas, billiards room, outdoor kitchen, dining area, outdoor fireplace, the Great Lawn and Cloister Garden on the green deck, Two guest suites, boardroom, coffee lounge, Climate controlled wine storage, workshop and crafts area, indoor golf practice area, and Dog walk.





Homeownership at the Brookwood automatically enrolls you into the Brookwood Club, including you in homeowner activites and entitling you to premier concierge services.

Probably one of my favorite features of the project is the LEED construction standard(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). Leed construction is a green building design that implements sustainable resources and ecologically friendly construction practices.

LEED certified homes not only make a positive impact on public health and the environment, they also enhance marketability and maximize economic efficiency for the homeowner through decreased utility bills. Currently, very few condominium homes in Atlanta have accomplished this designation. The LEED certification is a performance rating implemented by the US Green Building Council.

Homes at the Brookwood range in price from $500,000 to $1,500,000.
