Buckhead Condos & Lofts in Atlanta, GA |
Buckhead is often referred to as the "Beverly Hills of the South", and Robb Report magazine has consistently ranked it one of the USA's "10 Top Affluent Communities" for "some of the most beautiful mansions, best shopping and finest restaurants in the southeastern United States".
While much of west and north Buckhead maintains itself in single-family unit residential, forested settings, the Peachtree Road corridor has become a major focus of high-rise construction. The first 400-foot office tower, Tower Place, opened in 1974. Park Place, in 1986, was the first 400+ foot condominium. 1986 Also saw the completion of the 425-foot, 34-story Atlanta Plaza, then Buckhead's tallest and largest building. In 2000, Park Avenue Condominums upped the ante, pushing the record to 486 feet. Since that time, a wave of development has followed. Currently the 660-foot Sovereign and 580-foot Mansion on Peachtree are in a race for the sky (both set for completion in late 2007). Today Buckhead has over 50 high-rise buildings, almost one-third of the city total.
