MARIETTA, Ga. (July 2, 2008) – On Thursday, June 19, 2008, over 120 Marietta residents and public officials, including Marietta Mayor Bill Dunaway, attended the preview of Meeting Park, Marietta’s new mixed-use neighborhood developed by Winter Properties. Guests were impressed with the walkable community and its proximity to the historic Marietta Square, which is only two blocks away.

“Meeting Park has been designed to appeal to an inter-generational market of young professionals, urban families and empty nesters,” said Winter Properties president Bob Silverman at the grand opening. “Meeting Park will be a true community of successful people, young and old, who want to live in a traditional neighborhood where you can walk to restaurants, shops, theatres and museums.”

When complete, Meeting Park will be a community of approximately 280 homes, townhomes and condos; seven restaurants and 10,000 square feet of neighborhood retail and office buildings for professional firms. Homes range in size from one-bedroom (starting at 1,244 square feet) to large three-bedrooms, with prices ranging from $238,900 to $578,900. The development is in keeping with a hometown feel while enhancing the existing Marietta lifestyle.

“As a preservationist, I fell in love with Marietta over 25 years ago. I saw this historic city in Cobb County as the ideal village in America’s most vibrant metropolitan area,” continued Silverman. “We expect that Meeting Park will be the model for the redefinition of suburbs, especially the close-in suburbs. We have chosen Marietta as the ideal American City - one of the few ‘All American Cities’ - to demonstrate what a suburban community can be. We describe Meeting Park as having a village heart and a Marietta soul and expect that Meeting Park will enhance all that Marietta represents.”

In addition to picking out the finishes of the constructed townhomes, Studio M Interiors president Marni Ratner personally decorated the model home, which shows off the four-story townhome’s optional features that appeal to buyers of all ages such as the two rooftop terraces and the elevator. Fifteen townhomes are complete (and are available to close within 30 days) and construction on an additional 17 townhomes will begin in the fall. Reservations are currently being accepted for the first 60 luxury condominiums, which will range from $220,000 to $578,900. Construction on the condominiums will begin this winter.

Sales and marketing is provided by Coldwell Banker The Condo Store, the market leader in the sales and marketing of condominium and townhome neighborhoods. Meeting Park’s sales center is located at 218 Roswell St., Marietta, GA 30060 and is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday noon to 5 p.m. For more information, please call 770-423-1233 or visit www.MeetingParkMarietta.com.
