Yes, there is a demand for condos in Atlanta!

As stated in a recent Atlanta Business Chronicle article, “the Atlanta Condo Market  is Recovering”.  As you can see from the below press release,  2010 was a good time to make a smart buying decision.

Coldwell Banker NRT Development Advisors (NRTDA) is pleased to announce for 2010 that it was the exclusive sales and marketing company for three of the top four condominium communities in Atlanta based on last year’s sales volume, as reported by SmartNumbers. Combined, Coldwell Banker NRTDA closed nearly 150 units and over $55 million in sales in the following condominium developments:

10 Terminus Place – One of the most coveted addresses in Buckhead, this 32 story luxury high-rise offers 137 studio, one, two and three-bedroom homes. Residents enjoy amenities like a daytime concierge, 24/7 doorman, furnished guest suites, dog walk park, saltwater pool and spa and clubroom with catering kitchen. The community was developed by Cousins Properties.

1010 Midtown – a 35 story architectural wonder with 425 units in the heart of Midtown Atlanta. The homes feature expansive window walls, tiled baths with garden tubs and 10-foot finished ceilings. Homeowners have access to a “Park in the Sky” with signature swimming pool, cabanas and manicured gardens, a club room, and 24-hour concierge. The community was developed by Daniel Corporation, Selig Enterprises, Inc., MetLife and Canyon‐Johnson Urban Funds.

Gallery - A distinctive marriage of classic and contemporary architecture, this luxury building offers 27 stories of spacious, magnificently appointed residences. A wide range of amenities and services include a 24 hour concierge, fully-equipped fitness facility, sparkling swimming pool and landscaped sun deck, tennis court, business center and conference room and elegantly furnished guest suites. The community was developed by Novare Group and Coro Realty Advisors.

 These three communities are marketed under Coldwell Banker Previews International®, the first real estate marketing program to go beyond the reach of the local real estate market and specialize exclusively in marketing luxury properties to a national and international audience. Today, Previews® is widely considered to be the world’s consummate marketing program for successfully promoting luxury properties to a local, national and international marketplace.

In addition to its success marketing luxury high-rise properties, for the fourth consecutive year, Coldwell Banker NRTDA was number one on TrendGraphix’s list for listing sales volume of residential attached homes. The company also topped the list in 2010 for sales units in Buckhead for residential attached homes priced at $750,000 and above.

 “Despite another challenging year for condo sales in metro Atlanta, where, according to FMLS, new construction sales declined 16 percent, NRT Development Advisors led the market by providing strategic, sound marketing and sales strategies for our developer clients,” says Brad Horner, president of Coldwell Banker NRT Development Advisors. “Coldwell Banker Previews International marketing platform provided invaluable exposure for these condominium developments through an unsurpassed luxury broker network, national media exposure and leading technology.”

Mosaic at Millenia closes more than 100 condos in less than five months

After receiving local, and even international, media coverage for bucking the trend in the current real estate market and securing multiple purchase contracts per week, Orlando’s Mosaic at Millenia followed up that success by closing more than 100 contracts within a five-month period.  Nearly 50 additional homes are currently under contract and waiting to be closed.  Most notable about these sales is that the majority of contracts were submitted by international buyers.

Coldwell Banker NRT Development Advisors, which manages marketing and sales for the property, ignored traditional real estate marketing practices to sell the units and instead tapped its global network of brokers to identify potential investor buyers.  These investors shared the company’s vision of Mosaic at Millenia as an attractive purchase with the opportunity for  a positive cash flow in an enviable area (near local attractions, a high-end mall and more).
“Securing contracts for these tenant-occupied condos was only half of the process,” said Alec String, Coldwell Banker NRT Development Advisor’s Florida vice president of sales.  “Much of the Mosaic at Millenia’s success can be attributed to the sales team’s follow-up process, as they had to oversee each time-intensive step from contract to closing to ensure it was seamless process for the investor buyers.  The team’s deep relationships with the investor representatives and title companies were key.”

The one-, two- and three-bedroom homes at Mosaic at Millenia – which feature private patios/balconies, 9-foot ceilings, crown moldings, chair railings, assigned parking, designer kitchens, valet trash service and alarm systems – are listed from the high $60,000s to the high $90,000s and have historically offered a return of $700 per month in rent.  The community is located within a Greenbelt area, yet only walking distance to Mall at Millenia’s boutique shopping and restaurants, and includes a lighted tennis court, pool, business center, media room, outdoor grilling area, sand volleyball court, billiard room, theater room and playground.

Mosaic at Millenia’s sales manager, Joe Wake, can be reached at 407-493-6736 (office) or 407-493-6736 (cell). The community is located at 3573 Conroy Road, Orlando, FL 32839. www.MosaicAtMillenia.com
