What motivated you to start The Views at O4W?  How did the idea come about?…

Having grown up in Atlanta, it is very exciting to see the rebirth of the Old Fourth Ward and it’s surrounding neighborhoods to the vibrant communities they were when I was young. 

For those readers who do not know what the Old Fourth Ward in Atlanta is, can you tell us a little bit about what they should know? 

The Old Fourth Ward has become the epicenter of intown life in Atlanta.  With the anchor of Ponce City Market and the Beltline, a short 3 blocks away, there has been an explosion of restaurants, parks, entertainment venues, and employment opportunities.  The Old Fourth Ward is the rare situation where the opportunity to live, work and play all within walking distance truly exists.

What do you think is special about The Views At O4W? 

In addition to cutting edge architectural features, the central mew, or courtyard, concept fosters a real internal neighborhood feel within the midst of a great community.  Interior finishes are the true definition of luxury living, and the rooftop decks provide some of the most spectacular views of our great city.

What services will the property offer?  

All homes have enclosed garage parking and the choice of fiber internet service from Google, AT&T, and Comcast.  If you like the idea of 1 gig data speeds, we have it!

What are people looking for in this type of Intown property?  

Our buyers are looking for a vibrant lifestyle, exquisite finishes, and an opportunity to enjoy appreciating home value.

What value will your development and design bring to the area?   

Our details and finishes are unsurpassed in our area and are another part of the rebirth of the Old Fourth Ward.

Is Foyer Urban a full service development company? (i.e., design, architects, construction co., brokerage, management, real estate agents)    

Foyer Urban is a development company that focuses on intown living.  We take the project through the entire process, from site selection, product design, entitlement, permitting, and construction.

When did you first become interested in construction and architecture and real estate development?  

I started my career in this field in 1983, beginning in sales, then as a homebuilder, and evolving in the early 1990s to full site development, both residential and commercial.

How long have you worked in the Atlanta real estate market    

With the exception of about six years, since 1983.  About 30 years.

What is your overall approach to the Atlanta real estate market today? Is it cautionary or do you feel there are great opportunities in investing here?  

Atlanta, like any other market, is subject to the influence of location and pricing / value.  The great thing about Atlanta, though, is that we continue to see great job and population growth, and with so much to offer, the city further enjoys the current trend of moving back to intown living.  We will always have ups and downs in pricing and velocity, but I personally feel that Atlanta has a strong market that will continue to grow.
