Guildmembers breaking ground in the Atlanta Midtown Arts District
If you live in Atlanta, chances are you’ve heard or read about plans for Trump’s latest endeavor; Trump Towers Atlanta (left). A joint venture between Trump Inc, Wood Partners LLC (a GuildQuality member) and Dezer Properties Inc, Trump Towers Atlanta is a $260 million, 48 story luxury condo/hotel project located in the Midtown Arts District at 15th and West Peachtree. The towers add to an increasingly impressive Atlanta Midtown skyline. Mark Randall, managing partner of Wood Partners, says this won’t be the last we’ll see from the Trump/Wood duo citing potential plans for additional towers in either Seattle or Los Angeles.
Breaking ground only a couple of city blocks away is One Museum Place (right); a John Wieland Homes & Neighborhoods (a GuildQuality member) and OvertonMurphy Interests LLC venture. 
Located at 1301 Peachtree Street, One Museum Place will sit in the heart of the Atlanta Midtown Arts District. This 23 story, “condominium only” tower will be the first of it’s type for John Wieland. At a whopping $365 million, he certainly isn’t easing in. The tower will feature 96 luxurious units; each starting at $2 million. He endeavors to make One Museum Place his “architectural statement in Atlanta”.
For world-class architect and designer of One Museum Place David Chipperfield, this project will also be a first. The London based architect has worked on similar residential projects both in Berlin and at home in London, but never in the US. Plans for the second floor of this Atlanta tower feature a 14,000 square foot exhibition space. After 10 years of operation under the Wieland Family Foundation, the space will be offered to the High Museum at a price tag of $1.
It’s wonderful watching our quality-minded members continually deliver service excellence, especially, here in Atlanta. We will watch, in anticipation, as these towers stretch into the Atlanta skyline.
