Luxury 1010 Midtown High-Rise to “Top Out”

12th & Midtown Phase I - 1010 Midtown TowerFirst Phase of Massive Midtown Atlanta Mixed-use Development Nearing Completion
ATLANTA (April 3, 2008)—The 1010 Midtown development team will celebrate a significant construction milestone on April 4, 2008 by placing the tower’s last beam. This 35-story Midtown Atlanta high-rise features 443 premium residences and 50,000 square feet of retail and dining space. Homeowners will begin moving in this Fall.

The team’s commitment and vision to set a new standard for mixed-use development in Midtown has given way to this premier project. Architecture firm Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio designed 1010 Midtown to accentuate the natural curve in Peachtree Street creating an elegant high-rise with breathtaking panoramic views. The tower’s commanding presence on Peachtree has helped to establish 1010 Midtown as one of Atlanta’s premiere addresses.

“We are very pleased with the pace of construction that Brasfield & Gorrie has achieved,” said Steve Baile, senior vice president, Daniel Corp. “This has been a first-class project from day one.”

1010 Midtown’s upscale design and central location attracts buyers—from young professionals to empty nesters. One-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans with stunning views will feature 10-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, stone baths and large balconies. Residents will also enjoy resort-inspired amenities, including a state-of-the-art fitness center, clubroom, swimming pool, and private deck-top plaza with panoramic views of the downtown skyline. The wide variety of floorplans with prices ranging from the $200s to over $1 million has helped to ensure that there is an option for everyone.

“Homebuyers are attracted to the convenient, sophisticated lifestyle 1010 Midtown provides,” said Jason Winburn, vice president of sales and marketing, Daniel Corp. “As such, we have received an enthusiastic response by homebuyers.”

1010 Midtown homeowners will enjoy a private reception later this month during which they can visit their new home and mingle with future neighbors at a nearby Midtown restaurant—one of over 40 that are within walking distance from the high-rise.
