Emerson ascends in Buckhead.
Atlanta-based real estate development firm JPX Works LLC has announced its plans for a highly anticipated Buckhead condominium tower project. Located at 2520 Peachtree just north of Lindbergh Drive and rising 21 stories, the luxury building, dubbed Emerson, is destined to be a beautiful addition to Buckhead’s skyline. The tower’s profile, with views of Peachtree Battle and beyond, mimics the design of Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic “Fallingwater” design. Cascading levels of 44 homes will feature abundant glass in addition to beautiful outdoor terraces. Josh Herndon, development director at JPX Works, explains, “While unique in its character, the design exhibits a long tradition of modernism in Atlanta and is contextualized by the narrative of Buckhead’s Peachtree Battle neighborhood.”
The Emerson condos also will feature elements that incorporate Atlanta’s appreciation of trees and green space. “The building is raised from the ground, allowing the landscape to flow through and under it,” Herndon illustrates. “As it ascends vertically, the building takes the shape and transparency of an urban lantern, surrounded by landscaped outdoor terraces.” The design is both sculptural and artistic. Herndon describes the building as “architecture as art.” Excluding the prestigious penthouse, two- and three-bedroom units for the first release can be pre-purchased for $1.8 million to $4.5 million. The project will break ground this fall.
