The Brookwood
A Refreshing New Way to
Enjoy Life In Atlanta’s Ideal Neighborhood
Condominium Homes Designed
For Luxury Living From the Inside Out
Priced from the $500s to
over $1 million
ATLANTA --
The Brookwood will be a
stylish new address in one of Atlanta’s most prestigious communities. Located
on Peachtree Road between 28th Street and Palisades, The Brookwood
will be the first luxury condominium residence in the heart of Brookwood,
providing walking access to Brookwood Hills and Ardmore Park, as well as to the
shops and dining district surrounding this vibrant part of Peachtree Road.
Construction is now underway on the 20 story building that will include 219
luxury condominium homes and signature penthouses ready for occupancy in the
summer of 2009. The homes at The Brookwood will be offered from the $500s to
over $1 million.
“We intentionally chose this
location along Peachtree because we believe its scale, extensive retail
offerings, and surrounding historic neighborhoods offer the opportunity for The
Brookwood to be at the center of what will become one of the most walkable and
pedestrian friendly sections of Peachtree,” said Mark Riley, principal developer
for The Brookwood. “We put a premium on exceptional architecture and great
streetscapes with the goal of having the project relate to and improve the
existing urban fabric.”
“We believe the exceptional
architecture and space planning will help create long-term value for our
homeowners,” added Riley. “Therefore, we challenged our architects and
designers to push the envelope -- and instead of designing a building that
people fit into -- we asked our team to start with the lifestyle of busy,
professional people and design a building that functions for them. The process
began by studying and understanding the way successful people want to enjoy
urban living, and then we used these criteria to meet design objectives,”
explained Riley.
For residents of The Brookwood
this translates into large living spaces that visually open to the outside and
maximize each home’s floorplan; five-star luxuries and amenities designed as
integral components of the building; a sustainable design that provides healthy
and resource-efficient living inside and outside each home; and most
importantly, The Brookwood creates a personal refuge that combines the vibrancy
of city life with an oasis of calm and casual elegance.
The Brookwood’s Distinctive Architecture & Interior Design
Located at 1820 Peachtree Road,
The Brookwood is destined to become the focal point of this charming, in-town
neighborhood that retains community life reminiscent of a time when people
walked to the store and knew their neighbors by name. The architecture of The
Brookwood blends with the gracious surroundings of the neighborhood -- an area
of 1920’s and 30’s brick and stone buildings and meticulously restored classic
Southern homes and towering trees. Designed by world renowned architects,
Smallwood, Reynolds, Stewart, Stewart & Associates of Atlanta, The Brookwood’s
façade incorporates red brick above a cast-stone base in the tradition of
Georgian style architecture inspired by Neel Reid’s Brookwood Train Station.
Cornices and other details create a strong expression of base, middle and top
which recalls period buildings in a contemporary manner. Broad bays at the base
of The Brookwood are designed to accommodate retail shops and a signature
restaurant, as well provide opportunities for signage, awnings and other
pedestrian inviting elements. Stately floor-to-ceiling windows and large
terraces add to the architectural statement while providing residents of The
Brookwood with panoramic views and an outdoor connection to the neighborhood.
In addition, The Brookwood also features a private garden terrace of almost an
acre which includes a pool, specimen gardens, clubhouse, gazebo, and outdoor
summer kitchen.
Inside, each home is uniquely
designed to maximize the living space and take advantage of natural light.
Spacious floorplans for two and three bedroom homes range from 1200 to 2900
square feet, plus larger signature homes and penthouses. By turning a
traditional floorplan by 90 degrees, the designers have expanded the amount of
naturally lit space in each home. Sight lines are a key consideration so that
most homes offer a direct view from the point of entry to the windows --
visually linking the interior to the exterior. The floorplans incorporate the
core space for living, dining and cooking with all other spaces radiating from
this central focus. These key areas constitute the hub of the home and are
intentionally designed as zones rather than rooms to provide expanded space.
This ‘radius’ approach to the architecture eliminates wasted hallway space and
jogs in walls providing a visually clean and inviting space.
An Amenity Rich Environment
Life at The Brookwood will
include its own exclusive membership club -- The Brookwood Club.

services to assist with daily chores as well as provide five-star hotel type
