  • The Atlanta Preservation Center's
    THE ATLANTA PRESERVATION CENTER’S Phoenix2017 Flies A CELEBRATION OF ATLANTA’S HISTORIC SITES FREE CITY-WIDE EVENTS PRESERVEATLANTA.COM Welcome to Phoenix Flies ust as the Grant Mansion, the home of the Atlanta Preservation Center, was being constructed in the mid-1850s, the idea of historic preservation in America was being formulated. It was the invention of women, specifically, the ladies who came J together to preserve George Washington’s Mount Vernon. The motives behind their efforts were rich and complicated and they sought nothing less than to exemplify American character and to illustrate a national identity. In the ensuing decades examples of historic preservation emerged along with the expanding roles for women in American life: The Ladies Hermitage Association in Nashville, Stratford in Virginia, the D.A.R., and the Colonial Dames all promoted preservation as a mission and as vehicles for teaching contributive citizenship. The 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition held in Piedmont Park here in Atlanta featured not only the first Pavilion in an international fair to be designed by a woman architect, but also a Colonial Kitchen and exhibits of historic artifacts as well as the promotion of education and the arts. Women were leaders in the nurture of the arts to enrich American culture. Here in Atlanta they were a force in the establishment of the Opera, Ballet, and Visual arts. Early efforts to preserve old Atlanta, such as the Leyden Columns and the Wren’s Nest were the initiatives of women. The Atlanta Preservation Center, founded in 1979, was championed by the Junior League and headed by Eileen Rhea Brown.

  • Atlanta Market Overview and Trends Analysis
    ATLANTA MARKET OVERVIEW AND TRENDS ANALYSIS SEPTEMBER 2017 BUCKHEAD ECONOMIC DRIVERS With more than 21.7 million square feet of office space (16.8 million SF of which is class A), the Buckhead office market is Atlanta’s third largest business district (behind Perimeter and Downtown/Midtown), commanding the highest rents of all major metro CBDs in greater Atlanta, with an average quoted office rent of $33.18 PSF overall, and as high as $54 PSF in the premier office towers. The northernmost section of Buckhead (roughly the Peachtree Road corridor north of Piedmont Road and south of Peachtree Dunwoody Road), is considered Atlanta’s financial corridor, where most money management firms house their regional southeast offices. At the heart of northern Buckhead around the intersections of Lenox, Peachtree and Piedmont Roads, is Atlanta’s premier shopping district, with 1 more than 1,500 retail units - where shoppers spend more than $2.6 billion a year. • In addition, Buckhead contains the highest concentration of upscale boutiques in the United States. The majority are located at Lenox Square (caption 1) and Phipps Plaza (caption 2), sister regional malls located diagonally across from each other at the intersection of Peachtree and Lenox Roads. The malls are home to designer boutiques, mainstream national retailers, as well as six major department stores. • In 2014, the ‘Buckhead Atlanta’ (caption 3) mixed-use development, located in central Buckhead, delivered an additional 300,000 square feet of retail and restaurants and 100,000 square feet of boutique offices. Oliver McMillan has planned an additional office tower (The Office at Buckhead Atlanta), which will add 315,000 SF to the greater Buckhead Atlanta development.
