Anyone who has visited Atlantic Station has seen ATL Lofts; the residences are on the top floors of six buildings and offer the best of both worlds. Owners can enjoy spacious balconies that overlook the exciting activity in Atlantic Station while being situated above and around many restaurants, shops and entertainment venues that are only steps away. The location of ATL Lofts and the loft concept over retail is unique to ATL Lofts in Atlantic Station and can't be replicated. It is one-of-a-kind product nestled in the District of Atlantic Station amidst it all.
"I love the fact that I don't need a car, even though I have one parked downstairs," says new resident Al Corry, a real estate broker. "I can jump on MARTA or take the free shuttle and go anywhere I want. The overall planning of Atlantic Station is extremely well thought-out."
Many ancillary benefits are experienced by the ATL Lofts residents. In addition to the free shuttle and easy access to public transportation, Atlantic Station has begun hosting "Walking Weekends." Every weekend, the streets in the retail/entertainment district are closed to cars, allowing people to stroll casually through the area. Loft residents won't have to worry about parking for the Cirque du Soleil performance of Corteo, which opens December 15; the "Grand Chapiteau" will be just a short stroll away.
Corry says he enjoys the feeling of safety he gets when he walks around his new neighborhood. "Atlantic Station has excellent security, as well as an Atlanta Police substation," he says.
The new residents are also in a great location for the upcoming holiday celebrations, including the lighting of Atlantic Station, and nightly snowfall. They can also sign up for the A-card shopper loyalty program, which makes them eligible to receive benefits, discounts, special offers and invitations from participating Atlantic Station stores. ATL Loft residents also have the option of joining the Art of Wellness health club and spa, which is open only to residents of Lane Company's communities within Atlantic Station.
Inside, the ATL Lofts are an event in themselves. The residences boast large windows and an open or spiral staircase leading to the mezzanine level and loft bedroom. The living area offers two to three story-high ceilings. A glass-top bar separates the spacious living area from the kitchen, which features stainless steel appliances, a stainless backsplash, granite countertops, pantries and European cabinetry. The bathrooms offer the luxury of separate tubs and glass-enclosed showers.
"The best compliment is that I have a 19-year-old daughter and a 22-year-old son and both are dying to move in with me," Corry jokes.
The one, two and three-bedroom lofts were developed and built by Lane Company, a leading multifamily real estate firm. They are being marketed and sold exclusively by Evolv, a full service real estate solutions group. Prices start in the $300,000s. For more information, visit www.atlofts.com or call (404) 870-9900.
