The long wait is just about complete as the Astoria at the Aramore building will be complete and open by the end of October. The photos here are the most recent shots of the Astoria exterior, and, as you can see, these luxury Atlanta condos are just about complete. Notice the floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase beautiful views of the downtown Atlanta skyline and the Buckhead skyline. You can also see the amenities deck, which features a swimming pool, heated spa and outdoor fireplace. What you are not able to see is the completed interiors of the units. The Astoria condos were designed with the ultimate luxury in mind, which means fine finishes and intricate detail can be found throughout each home.

However, it isn’t possible to give a list of the standard features found in every home, because the same features are not found in every home. When you buy a new Atlanta condo at the Astoria at the Aramore, you are given creative freedom to customize your unit any way you want. An interior designer will work closely with you to help determine which fine finishes and luxurious features will be perfect for your style and needs. This ensures that your condo is truly one-of-a-kind and made specifically with you in mind. (more…)

The High Museum of Art is already selling tickets for the exhibit that will come to the art museum later this fall. If you have not yet heard, China’s Terracotta Army will be on display in Atlanta from November 16, 2008 to April 19, 2009. This is such a tremendous opportunity for Atlanta residents that are interested in history and culture. The First Emperor exhibition is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for the High that is expected to draw tourists from all over the East Coast.  This extraordinary exhibition is inspired by one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century, and includes complete terracotta warrior figures. The famed terracotta army was discovered in 1974, but over the years ongoing research has revealed that his army stood guard over a vast underground palace. It represents one of the most important groups of works relating to the First Emperor ever to be loaned to the United States, and it is coming to Atlanta. (more…)

Although the Buckhead location of the Astoria at Aramore has always been a top selling point, now that the neighboring restaurant Holeman and Finch Public House was voted “Restaurant of the Year” by Atlanta Magazine, condos and penthouses are sure to go even quicker. The restaurant is owned by Chef Linton Hopkin’s and is a great mix of unique dishes and a trendy, urban bar atmosphere. Focusing on a different type of Southern cuisine, this more upscale menu is definitely different in offering home made salami, pork belly and sugar doughnuts, but also has a few classic seafood and vegetable meals for the more traditional customer. The hand made and creative cocktails are a great experience and will not be found anywhere else in Atlanta. The Astoria is a perfect extension of Holeman and Finch’s creativity. Buyers have the creative freedom to customize their home by picking from an array of high end finishes to reflect their personal style. Options can turn the same condo from a modern, sleek urban “loft” feel, to a more tradition Southern home. The Astoria at the Aramore is near completion, and owner’s are now closer than ever to the best dining Atlanta has to offer.
