Midtown West Atlanta Condos
For over a century, Midtown West was an industrial area and
was the center of the livestock meat processing trade in the southeast. Cattle
and other livestock were shipped from the western states to Atlanta where the
buildings along Marietta St. and Brady Ave. were utilized as barns,
meat-processing plants. The group of buildings here is architecturally
significant because it clearly exhibits, in a single neighborhood, the shift
from wood and masonry to steel curtain wall construction, and from arched
windows and doors to larger steel framed, factory-sash windows.
The architecture is in part what makes these
buildings so desirable as converted condominiums and lofts. These buildings also offer efficient large
and open floor plans for businesses, which will aid in that phase of the
revitalization of this area. Already
boasting trendy restaurants, shops and lofts, the development in West Midtown
is not over yet! With its location next
to Georgia Tech and the interstates, this area is prime for a burst of new
energy.
