Atlanta development company JPX Works has released new renderings for its new condo tower at Peachtree Battle. The 21-story building at 2520 Peachtree Road will be called Emerson. The tower’s unique design is an homage to Frank Lloyd Wright’s famous “Fallingwater,” with cascading levels of glass and outdoor terraces. There will be 44 homes in the building with up to three homes per floor, each serviced by a private elevator. The fan-shaped building allows for unit combinations up to 7,200 square feet. JPX Works is expected to open an Emerson sales gallery at ADAC West in Peachtree Hills in May, with groundbreaking anticipated this fall. Burma Weller and Kevin McCarthy of Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty will lead residential sales for the project.

Curbed Atlanta reports that work has begun on a 38-story tower at the corner of 14th and Spring streets that should be the tallest addition to Midtown’s skyline since the recession. The 22 14th St. project by Florida-based The Related Group will be called Spring Midtown, with 390 apartments and ground-level retail, including Whole Foods with pub, microbrewery, cooking school and a variety of food venues.

Condominiums at The Residences at The Mandarin Oriental Atlanta in Buckhead are approaching a complete sellout. Because of this demand, the owners have decided to repurpose four floors of the building that were originally earmarked for expansion of the five-star hotel and instead build-out seven additional luxury condos for The Residences. The homes, which are now under construction, will be released later this spring. Like all of the luxury condominium homes atop the hotel, they will be equipped with high-end amenities such as Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, 360-degree views of the Atlanta skyline and secure biometric keyless entry. The new Residences will feature floorplans unique to the building. KORA Real Estate Group’s Karen Rodriguez is the exclusive listing broker at The Residences.
