At least they got the traffic going in the right direction.

Question?
Does anyone else get the feeling that the designers forgot to take traffic flow into consideration when they were putting the towers together? It seems like it would make more sense to have the Trump waterfall and grand entrance facing West Peachtree rather than Spring St. Well that's my 0.02 have a great day!

An even better reason than the traffic flow is that West Peachtree Street just feels more like the "front door" than Spring Street. Given the probability that the new Symphony Hall will be built right across West Peachtree over the MARTA Arts Center Station, this location is looking better all the time. But these are shrewd people and I'm sure they are aware of this, so I doubt they're going to show their backside to West Peachtree.

What do ya'll think are the chances of Hines redeveloping that parking deck across from the proposed towers? Looks like it was an "add-on" anyway and it seems to me, with Trump going in next door, the land would be much more valuable as anything but parking (hotel, office, mixed use, whatever). Across the street from Trump Towers... sounds like a good address to me.

I don't think there's much of a chance of Hines redeveloping the parking deck. For one thing, there are still plenty of other building lots available nearby. For another, the need for parking is strong and growing. In fact, that parking garage might be even more useful for after-hours parking if the new Symphony Hall gets built next door above the Arts Center MARTA Station (as I suspect it will).

I wonder if it would be practical to partially renovate the parking garage to add two floors of retail space along West Peachtree -- similar to what was done to the parking garage Downtown at the NW corner of Peachtree and International? That might kill two birds with one stone -- if it will work.

The Trump renderings show the bottom floors with a masonry facade....perhaps they're hoping for a retro-fitting as well...

Perhaps if all the lots in the area are all built up, and the demand for commerce and residential is still high for the area, they may reconsider building more underground parking.

Some information regarding Trump Towers Atlanta

Hello everyone, I am new to this site but am happy to have found it. I first heard about the Trump Towers project about 2 weeks ago while walking through Lenox mall in Atlanta, and became interested in actually purchasing one of the homes. I have been in contact with one of the sales people (in person and in email) regarding build dates and prices etc. Here is the information that I know (I haven't seen it posted, thats why I am posting it)

Trump Towers Atlanta
Price Range

Model / Size Type View /Price Range

A1 - 1,008 sq. ft 1 bedroom/1 ½ baths N - $570,000 - $655,000

A2 – 1,076 sq. ft. 1 bedroom/ 1 ½ baths N -$521,000-$686,000

A3 – 1,244 sq.ft 1 bedroom / 2 baths plus den S - $705,000-$865,000


B1 – 1,301 sq. ft. 2 bedrooms/ 2 ½ baths N - $633,000-$851,000

B2 – 1,532 sq. ft. 2 bedrooms/ 2 baths N - $801,000-$1,056,000

B3 – 1,536 sq.ft 2 bedrooms/ 2 ½ baths S -$816,000 -$1,099,000

B4 – 1,656 sq. ft. 2 bedrooms/ 2 ½ baths N -$834,000-$1,081,000

B5 – 2,037 sq. ft. 2 bedrooms/ 2 ½ baths plus den S -$1,109,000-$1,349,000

B6 – 2,027 sq. ft. 2 bedrooms/ 2 ½ baths plus den S -$1,078,000-$1,303,000

B7 – 2,137 sq. ft. 2 bedrooms/ 2 ½ baths plus den S - $1,103,000-$1,112,000

B8 – 2394 sq. ft. 2 bedrooms/ 2 ½ baths plus den S - $1,392,000 - $1,597,000



**PENTHOUSES AVAILABLE-PRICES UPON REQUEST**

Prices and availability subject to change


---> the earnest money is 10% at the time of writing a contract and then 5% in about 1-2 years when the building is close to being finished. The penthouse floor plans can be customized somewhat. The space available is anywhere from 2800 - 8000 sq ft. They are priced between $800 - $850 a sq ft.
The way it works with the penthouses is you would come in to the office and
meet with our designer. You will say approx. how many square feet you want, how many bedrooms, what side of the building etc. He will then put a floor plan together for you.

--->We have been selling for 6 months now and already sold 125 homes. It has been a huge success especially in the slow market.
We are due to break ground in the next couple of months, and completion should be the early part of 2010.



The above paragraphs were responses to questions I had regarding penthouse floor plans, availability, and completion date. Hope this is of some valuable information to the board.

Wow! 125 have already been sold? That's much better news than I think any of us expected.

Did anyone else get invited to the cocktail reception sponsored by Trump and Maserati? I'm thinking about going.

^Not to be a downer but it was reported back in July that the first tower was one-third sold (1/3 of 363 units = 121 units)...so I'm not sure how good of news it is to hear they've sold 125 units 3 months later. But then again who knows for sure, the sales agent could've been quoting old sales figures.

I agree...I dont think they are going to be running out of any prime floorplans any time soon...

Anyone know when work will begin? It has to be soon for them to pass on the parking revenue. Also, will there be a webcam!?

10% earnest money 2+ years before it's set to be completed?! That's a little absurd when the average unit price is $1M. With interest compounding, that's going to cost would-be owners an additional $15-$20k for no good reason.

With how sophisticated I would expect buyers are who can afford these units, I could imagine that being a sticking point. With how slowly they're selling, though, I wonder if one could negotiate around it.

Well, I looked at a unit during the opening gala for Atlantic. I had a maybe 25% interest in a unit but they wanted if I remember correctly $40,000 down at that time and occupancy was over 2 years out. Maybe I was just not the type of buyer that buys into these condos because I couldn't justify that type of commitment and not even a guarantee that occupancy would occur when projected. During that first week of the Atlantic they sold around 30 units though or 7% of them to my surprise.
