The story of Renaissance Walk is truly a story of a rebirth and renewal of a neighborhood. The Sweet Auburn district was a story of urban neglect in the 1970s and 80s, but by the 1990s new development was sprouting in the area. Now with the resurgence of new mixed use developments, including the GSU dormitory buildings the area is poised for renewed prosperity in the new century. The neighborhood is vibrant, and a great place to buy a new Atlanta condo.
Renaissance Walk is a $45 million development at Piedmont and Auburn which opened in November. This unique Atlanta condo project is the result of a partnership between The Integral Group LLC and Big Bethel AME Church.
One bedroom homes in Renaissance Walk start in the high 100s and two bedrooms start in the mid 200s. The residences are on top of 30,000 square feet of retail space, and the amenities include a pool, a rooftop tennis court, fitness center, Club room, sky deck, and spectacular views of the downtown Atlanta skyline. “Renaissance Walk is one of the key initiatives that is at the center of the changes taking place in Downtown East and on the Auburn Avenue corridor,” said Egbert L.J. Perry, Chairman & CEO for The Integral Group.
The partnership with a church is unusual and an innovative approach to Atlanta condominium development. Many members of the Big Bethel have moved to suburbs, so by investing directly in the development of the neighborhood, the church attracts middle class residents back to urban living, and increases the possibility of some of those new residents becoming members. By partnering with an experienced developer, the church has fulfilled a social mission as well as reaped an economic benefit which extends to the community.
