Avignon at Vinings is currently in the process of constructing a relaxing, pristine pool for all residents to use. Meaning, in a little over one month’s time, residents will be able to cool off from the heat in the brand new pool - just in time for the final hot months of the year. The pool will add to the surroundings a peaceful and serene feeling. It will be molded into the classic shape of a clover, but to add a unique twist it will have squared off edges. Come and relax from a hard day at work in mid September when construction is set to be finished. This pool will be a new oasis in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the Vinings area. Bear in mind this is only one of the luxurious amenities Avignon at Vinings will provide its homeowners. Kairos Development truly goes above and beyond any expectations you may have about a new community in Atlanta. So, with the completion of the new Atlanta townhomes and now the pool, there has never been a better time to visit Avignon.

Most people don’t go throughout their day thinking about the overburdened social welfare system and the tons of kids that slip through the cracks and face very dangerous situations at home. But the Finance & Technology Director for Kairos, Amy Johnson, decided to be a friend and advocate for these children by volunteering as a CASA in Rockdale County. CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate, and describes an ordinary citizen who is trained and then appointed by a judge to be the voice of one of these children. Amy Johnson and others like her typically only take on one case at a time, and commit to finding their child a safe and permanent home. Everyone from Karios would like to congratulate Amy, and thank her for doing something great for the children in Rockdale. If you would like to follow in Amy’s footsteps and become an advocate for a child in your community, check out the CASA national website.

Amy Johnson, who is the finance and technology director for Kairos Development Corporation, recently graduated from the Leadership Rockdale program. In the photo is Amy Johnson with Georgia’s Attorney General, who spoke at the ceremony, and the Leadership Rockdale class facilitators. The fact that Amy took the time to attend all of the courses and meet all of the requirements to graduate shows the devotion and dedication Kairos employees have to their surrounding communities. Amy is now thoroughly involved in Rockdale and will contribute the knowledge gained to the bright future that she hopes the area will soon achieve. Leadership Rockdale is a series of six full-day sessions and one retreat. The idea behind this program is to increase knowledge and awareness of the community and its leaders. Many topics are discussed throughout the duration of the program, like the justice system, government, education, community wellness and industry. Once again congratulations to Amy and we are thrilled to see Kairos so involved!

While I am sure you have heard numerous reports about a declined real estate market, the Vinings real estate market has continued to produce hot sales numbers. Recently reported in an article in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, prices have jumped 57% in the Vinings area from last year and the number of homes sold increased by 22%. Bear in mind that the average for the metro area was a decrease in home sales of 22%. So, what makes Vinings immune to the slump in the real estate market? Well, Vinings is the perfect blend of the hustle and bustle of big city life, plus the feel of small town life and the safety and comfort of the suburbs.

The first residents at Avignon at Vinings have officially moved in. So, a grand welcome to Allen and Margie Ray! The couple has recently moved into a beautiful, new townhome in Vinings and is among Avignon’s first customers. The community’s high architectural standards and ideal location were deciding factors for the Rays in the purchase of their Atlanta new home. In addition, the Rays were pleased with Avignon’s variety of unique floorplans and personalized touches. They chose to customize many finishes in their luxury townhome including a “dramatic application” of wainscoting paneling in the dining room, going with a five-foot application. You can start living a life of luxury in this unique community developed by Kairos Corporation just as the Rays have. The ideal location and fantastic amenities are reason alone to make Avignon your home, but of course one cannot overlook the dramatic, old-world Europe architecture that give residents the feeling that they are living in another world. While conveniently located in the heart of Vinings, close to I-285, I-75 and the Cumberland Mall area, you will feel miles away from the big city as soon as you come through the gates at Avignon.

If any of you have been down Peachtree Street recently, near the intersection of Peachtree Battle, you may have noticed the brick exterior being applied to the Astoria building. In addition to the beautiful brick accents being added to the exterior of the building, many other construction milestones have been passed. One of the most extraordinary is the fact that all of the residential levels have been completed. You also can’t miss the fact that the windows have been put in and the terrace railings have been secured. As for the interior, sheet rock through level ten is in place, and cabinet installation and tiling will begin on floors four through six. There are also hopes for the amenity terrace to be completed in early August along with the grand lobby. It won’t be much longer before homeowners of these luxury condos in Buckhead will be able to officially move-in, and start living the elegant lifestyle that Kairos Development has incorporated at the Astoria at the Aramore. So, if you have been in the market for a new home in Atlanta that promotes a live, work, play atmosphere, the Astoria is the end to your search.

Great recognition must be given to Kairos Development as their community service efforts will be giving thanks to former US soldiers this June 14th by volunteering their office suites in Buggyworks to be used by Veterans Affairs (VA), a government organization aimed at providing care and support for veterans. Stand Down is an all day quarterly event beginning at 7 am that seeks out homeless veterans in order to help the former US soldiers rehabilitate their mental and emotional issues, as well as aids them in finding suitable housing. As more and more soldiers come back from war with health issues, VA’s programs are becoming of the utmost importance to repay the veterans for their service to our country. More than 300 people are expected to attend. Thanks Kairos Development for helping our community!

Kairos Development’s office building at Jefferson Stations is so appealing that the City of East Point is relocating several departments from their current offices to the new development Jefferson Station at Buggy Works. Over 23,900 square feet will be occupied by the City Clerk, Human Resources, Finance, Government Operations, Parks and Recreation, Planning and Zoning, Economic Development and Purchasing. Moving in on August 1st, these city offices will reside in Jefferson Station for at least five years. It’s a rather big honor for Kairos Development to have such support from the City in their development of the historic industrial district.
Jefferson Station at Buggy Works is a four-story, historic factory building that was originally constructed in 1930 and offers office space in East Point. (more…)
