PRESS RELEASE

A Refreshing New Way to Enjoy Life in Atlanta's Ideal Neighborhood

Condominium Homes Designed For Luxury Living From the Inside Out

Priced from the $500s to over $1 million

ATLANTA, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- The Brookwood will be a stylish new address in one of Atlanta's most prestigious communities. Located on Peachtree Road between 28th Street and Palisades, The Brookwood will be the first luxury condominium residence in the heart of Brookwood, providing walking access to Brookwood Hills and Ardmore Park, as well as to the shops and dining district surrounding this vibrant part of Peachtree Road. Construction is now underway on the 20 story building that will include 219 luxury condominium homes and signature penthouses ready for occupancy in the summer of 2009. The homes at The Brookwood will be offered from the $500s to over $1 million.

"We intentionally chose this location along Peachtree because we believe its scale, extensive retail offerings, and surrounding historic neighborhoods offer the opportunity for The Brookwood to be at the center of what will become one of the most walkable and pedestrian friendly sections of Peachtree," said Mark Riley, principal developer for The Brookwood. "We put a premium on exceptional architecture and great streetscapes with the goal of having the project relate to and improve the existing urban fabric."

"We believe the exceptional architecture and space planning will help create long-term value for our homeowners," added Riley. "Therefore, we challenged our architects and designers to push the envelope -- and instead of designing a building that people fit into -- we asked our team to start with the lifestyle of busy, professional people and design a building that functions for them. The process began by studying and understanding the way successful people want to enjoy urban living, and then we used these criteria to meet design objectives," explained Riley.

For residents of The Brookwood this translates into large living spaces that visually open to the outside and maximize each home's floorplan; five- star luxuries and amenities designed as integral components of the building; a sustainable design that provides healthy and resource-efficient living inside and outside each home; and most importantly, The Brookwood creates a personal refuge that combines the vibrancy of city life with an oasis of calm and casual elegance.

The Brookwood's Distinctive Architecture & Interior Design

Located at 1820 Peachtree Road, The Brookwood is destined to become the focal point of this charming, in-town neighborhood that retains community life reminiscent of a time when people walked to the store and knew their neighbors by name. The architecture of The Brookwood blends with the gracious surroundings of the neighborhood -- an area of 1920's and 30's brick and stone buildings and meticulously restored classic Southern homes and towering trees. Designed by world renowned architects, Smallwood, Reynolds, Stewart, Stewart & Associates of Atlanta, The Brookwood's façade incorporates red brick above a cast-stone base in the tradition of Georgian style architecture inspired by Neel Reid's Brookwood Train Station. Cornices and other details create a strong expression of base, middle and top which recalls period buildings in a contemporary manner. Broad bays at the base of The Brookwood are designed to accommodate retail shops and a signature restaurant, as well provide opportunities for signage, awnings and other pedestrian inviting elements. Stately floor-to-ceiling windows and large terraces add to the architectural statement while providing residents of The Brookwood with panoramic views and an outdoor connection to the neighborhood. In addition, The Brookwood also features a private garden terrace of almost an acre which includes a pool, specimen gardens, clubhouse, gazebo, and outdoor summer kitchen.

Inside, each home is uniquely designed to maximize the living space and take advantage of natural light. Spacious floorplans for two and three bedroom homes range from 1200 to 2900 square feet, plus larger signature homes and penthouses. By turning a traditional floorplan by 90 degrees, the designers have expanded the amount of naturally lit space in each home. Sight lines are a key consideration so that most homes offer a direct view from the point of entry to the windows -- visually linking the interior to the exterior. The floorplans incorporate the core space for living, dining and cooking with all other spaces radiating from this central focus. These key areas constitute the hub of the home and are intentionally designed as zones rather than rooms to provide expanded space. This 'radius' approach to the architecture eliminates wasted hallway space and jogs in walls providing a visually clean and inviting space.

An Amenity Rich Environment

Life at The Brookwood will include its own exclusive membership club -- The Brookwood Club. Like any fine social club, The Brookwood Club will provide an array of personal services to assist with daily chores as well as provide five-star hotel type services such as:

  -- A community woodworking and craft room
  -- An indoor golf practice area

  -- An indoor catering kitchen for events
  -- Private residential parking including a select amount of enclosed
