Atlanta, Georgia A Development of Executive Equities, Inc. St. Si II ons Island A Priceless Work of Art St. Simons Island, nestled on the coast of Georgia, is a cultural environment of amazing natural beauty. Like all creations of worth, man must delicately and tastefully exhibit art treasures for the enjoyment of those lucky enough to appreciate their aesthetic value. And on this island abundant in American history, natural wildlife, and inherent charm, there are two distinctive and elegant year-round resorts, both tastefully enriching the artistic habitat of the island. There's the majestic King and Prince Beach Hotel dating back to the 30's and now elegantly refurbished with antiques, stained glass windows, and bright colors. Add to that superb dining, gracious service, easy entertaining, and one of the most gentle stretches of beach in Georgia and you'll find your special retreat at the King and Prince. For golf and tennis enthusiasts, the Sea Palms Resort is a masterpiece of sporting artistry. A sculptured championship golf course sheltered by liveoaks and bordered by winding waterways and tennis courts nestled among a hedge of island greenery add to the scenic enjoyment of both games. The Sea Palms accommodations range from a room at the Inn, to appealing villas, to elegantly appointed homes. And it's all perfect for families and conventioneers alike. Also, for those who wish to invest in this Georgia island, there are villas, homes, homesites, and other property available for development.

  • Impact for a Sustainable Future Annual Report 2016 Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge Introduction | 03
    IMPACT FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE ANNUAL REPORT 2016 ATLANTA BETTER BUILDINGS CHALLENGE INTRODUCTION | 03 One of my proudest accomplishments as Mayor of Atlanta is the tremendous success achieved through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge (ABBC). The Office of Resilience has partnered with businesses and nonprofit organizations to implement a comprehensive, voluntary program to increase energy and water efficiency in our building stock. The Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge invites participating building owners to commit to a 20 percent reduction in energy and water use by year 2020. With more than 114 million square feet of building space and more than 600 buildings pledged, Atlanta has earned its spot as a leader on the efficiency scoreboard. Since 2011, this successful public-private partnership between the City of Atlanta, Central Atlanta Progress, Livable Buckhead, Midtown Alliance and Southface has positioned Atlanta as a national leader in energy and water efficiency. We surpassed our water reduction goal five years ahead of schedule, and we’re quickly closing the gap on our energy goal, having already reduced our portfolio’s energy consumption by 17 percent. Through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge, participants are saving money on bills now, while helping to ensure a more resilient future for all Atlantans. This program plays a pivotal role in furthering Atlanta as a top-tier city for sustainability. We hope to inspire other cities by our achievements and lead by example as we continue to make big strides in reducing our energy and water usage. Thanks to our participants in the Challenge. Sincerely, IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR BUILDINGS 20 PERCENT BY 2020 Mayor Kasim Reed The goal of the Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Resource conservation efforts not only support the City’s Challenge is to improve the efficiency of commercial, sustainability efforts and lead to a cleaner and healthier institutional, industrial, and multifamily buildings by 20% or place to live and work, but the dollar savings achieved more by 2020.
