We had over 30 participants at the Loews Atlanta Tweet Up, when originally we had said we would only be taking 25 12th & Midtown followers. Many Atlantans were anxiously awaiting the exclusive tour of the luxury new hotel that we were offering, and it was just impossible to keep the cap at 25. Those in attendance were given a detailed tour of the hotel, which included the conference center, restaurant, exhibit hall and guest suites. We couldn’t be happier with the response! All participants chronicled their journey with live updates on Twitter and some even went into more detail after the event by writing a blog post about it. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and @TheGreatDanaJ was our lucky winner of a two night stay at Loews Atlanta.

The 12th & Midtown Loews Tour Tweet Up was such a success, that there was no other option than to host a similar event for the 1010 Midtown condos. Unlike the Loews Tour that took place during lunch, the 1010 Midtown condos tweet up will be a cocktail hour in the evening. What better way to unwind after a long day of work than by enjoying tasty appetizers and refreshing cocktails?

1010 Midtown recently received a Walk Score of 94 out of a possible 100. And, according to the Walk Score definitions, any community receiving a score between 90 and 100 is considered a “Walkers’ Paradise: Most errands can be accomplished on foot and many people get by without owning a car.”

Being able to reside in Atlanta without having to own a car is one of the greatest luxuries a community can offer. A rise in gas prices will have absolutely no effect on you. Plus, without a monthly car payment and insurance, you will have much more money every month to devote to yourself - whether you want to see a musical, pamper yourself at a local spa, try a new restaurant or shop. And, walking to all of your destinations is a much healthier way of life. Simply by completing your daily tasks, you are getting more physical exercise and increasing your daily steps. All in all, it seems life without a car is superb.

In an economy where stores seem to be closing left and right, 1010 Midtown had its own concerns about attracting stores to the great new high rise. The concept and location is fantastic, but would that be enough? And if stores and restaurants filled the floors of 1010 Midtown, would they thrive? Such questions crowded the heads of the luxury tower builders.

With the opening of a few great restaurants, those concerns have been squashed. The business men and women who have chosen to open a new restaurant  in 1010 Midtown believe the  prime location more than outweighs the recession.

1010 Midtown is adding four new “tasty” additions to the high rise, giving Atlanta diners something to buzz about. The high rise has already attracted lots of attention from Atlanta for its beautiful design - now the residential and commercial high rise has everyone talking about the new restaurants opening this year.

The prominent location was the biggest draw for Scott Kilpatrick, co-founder of RA Sushi, one of the new restaurants that recently opened in 1010 Midtown. According to an article in the AJC, Scott didn’t have any regrets about opening a new restaurant despite the recession. It was 1010 Midtown’s  great location that made him feel secure.  The restaurant naturally has a high energy atmosphere boasted by lively music.

This holiday season Atlanta has attracted much recognition for its spectacular exhibits. One in particular can be found at the Atlanta Civic Center, who has welcomed King Tutankhamun plus many valuable objects from his tomb as well as artifacts from some of the most significant rulers of ancient Egypt. This extraordinary exhibit will send you on a journey through the life of the most popular Egyptian pharaoh in the modern world: from the discovery of his remarkably preserved tomb in 1922 to the ancient curses that shaped his world. While King Tut is the main attraction for the exhibit, you will also have the privilege of learning more details about other Egyptian rulers and the stories behind them. For all history buffs and those that enjoy a great story, the King Tut and the Golden Age of Pharaohs Exhibition is a can’t-miss opportunity, and 1010 Midtown is helping to ensure that you partake in this experience by offering free VIP tickets on a first-come, first-served basis.

Finally, interested homebuyers are able to visualize life at 1010 Midtown by touring any of the 10 fully decorated model homes that are now open at the luxury new Atlanta condos. We have been describing the fine finishes, luxurious features and breathtaking city views for months and months, but a description does not do these new Atlanta condos justice. Thus, it is time to see these amazing attributes showcased in each model home. Since each model is meant to highlight the luxurious lifestyle 1010 Midtown provides its residents, it makes perfect sense that they have been professionally decorated by three of Atlanta’s top designers: Artefacto, Cantoni and Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams. No two model homes are alike as they have been specifically designed to illustrate different personalities and lifestyles. Among the concepts: an ultimate bachelor pad for a savvy, sophisticated single male; a home fit for a design-conscious couple just starting out; an elegant, shabby chic condominium; and a home designed for married, working professionals who want their residence to reflect their appreciation for Midtown art and entertainment.

1010 Midtown is causing quite a buzz in midtown Atlanta as it seems most everyone wants a sneak peek into the luxury Atlanta condos, or at least the success of the Artefacto event last week would lead us that conclusion since the main event of the night was a preview of the furniture that will be on display in one of the model homes. So, if you missed last week’s event, there is no need to worry because tomorrow night Cantoni is hosting a party also highlighting furniture that will soon be found in a 1010 Midtown model home.

The first “upscale resident” has now moved to 1010 Midtown, the initial phase of the massive 12th & Midtown mixed-use development underway in the heart of Midtown Atlanta.

The jackal-headed god Anubis was believed to be the guide and protector of the dead in ancient Egypt, and has arrived in Midtown to pave the way for the new exhibition “Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs,” which opens November 15 at the Atlanta Civic Center.

This new exhibition spans 2,000 years of history and highlights some of the most significant rulers of ancient Egypt, showcasing the lives and splendor of the Egyptian pharaohs. With more than 50 treasures from King Tut’s tomb and more than 70 priceless artifacts from some of the most powerful pharaohs in Egyptian history on display, visitors will get a sense of how life – and art – evolved under various rulers.

Anubis has served as the protector of King Tut’s treasures in Vienna and London, where he approached the city floating down the River Thames. At five tons and 25 feet, Anubis makes an imposing guide and protector for King Tutankhamun’s treasures and we are thrilled to now welcome him to Midtown Atlanta.
