The same New York City-based firm constructing Atlanta’s tallest new skyscraper in a generation is making a fresh push to offload the last remaining condos in another building a block away.

Sales at 40 West 12th, a rare stack of for-sale condos for Atlanta, began amidst the COVID-19 pandemic year of 2020, and the finished building delivered the following autumn. It brought 64 condos to the submarket in a glass-clad, 19-story tower, developed by Rockefeller and Atlanta-based Selig Development.

The building’s final eight listings—collectively called “The Art Residences”—have recently come to market, with the angle of being designed specifically for displaying and enjoying art. That is, they feature large interior wall spaces and ambient lighting described as optimal for showcasing collections.

Pricing for the Art Residences starts at $1.7 million and climbs to $2.1 million for a penthouse space. All eight of them count three bedrooms and three and ½ bathrooms in 2,400 square feet.

Amenities described as “those typically found in five-star resorts” are meant to help justify price points that stand among the highest in Midtown right now. (Another larger top-floor unit in the building that’s also never sold is asking $2.65 million, with $2,149 monthly HOA fees, marking the most expensive Midtown condo on the market.)

Those perks include the Epicurean Atlanta hotel next door that also services the condos, connected via a 1-acre Sky Terrace with an outdoor pool, cinema, gardens, and grilling stations.

Inside the 40 West 12th building, an all-seasons pool with Midtown views is restricted to condo dwellers, as is a private outdoor terrace, fitness center, lounge, and a full kitchen and bar area. (Here’s a mask-heavy tour of the full property from November 2020, as condo interiors were rounding into shape and what became the Google-anchored office tower component had topped out.)

The Art Residences model home was designed by Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio architects and furnished by 11 Fifty-Nine, with an eclectic variety of art pieces selected by curator Tom Williams of T Williams Design. Williams’ previous work includes Raffles Hotel Istanbul and Atlanta's Gas South Convention Center.

A block west of the condos, Rockefeller is barreling ahead with vertical construction on the 1072 West Peachtree mixed-use tower, which will mark the tallest residential building in Atlanta and the highest skyscraper built since the early 1990s. An Atlanta-based executive with the development firm recently shared insights as to how that project is progressing—and why Rockefeller is confident it’s a viable play.

Swing up to the gallery for a tour of Art Residences' model units—and to see how 40 West 12th amenities are holding up more than three years after they debuted.
