I had the opportunity to view Studioplex Lofts on Auburn Avenue and I have to say, I am impressed! What a great combined living space they have. Fantastic retail space/loft combos, as well as indivudal lofts.
It appealed to me because it has a very artsy feel to it. I guess because you start out with a fantastic hand blown glass store right up front. Great work in there and I had a nice chat with one of the owners.
There is an appealing courtyard where you just want to take a stroll and see the shops. Many people live in their lofts with their living accommodations behind their storefronts. How perfect it would be to have your own art studio, shop or business in the front and your living space behind a wall or curtain.
The second floor lofts have wonderfully high ceilings with skylights. Dave and Chuck of my office (Morris & Raper) are quickly selling the last of the units and I can understand why. It is one of those hidden gems tucked away. However, once you discover them, you are thoroughly enchanted.
To add to the flavor of the development, they have an Artists Walk every second Wednesday of the month. From what I hear, their following is getting stronger and stronger with each event. Their last event brought in between 300-400 people. Berlin, the property manager, takes great pride in the development and maintenance. He is a sweetheart.
Aside from the residences, they have the glass gallery, Jack's Art Gallery, salons, interior designers, musicians and so much more. Even SCAD has a space on the outer perimeter with regular art showings.
For anyone looking to live in a unique development that is far from a cookie cutter, then you really should consider Studioplex. Mere minutes from downtown and midtown, it is fast becoming a neighborhood of new developments.
I was thoroughly impressed. It is definitely worth checking out for either your next residence or a unique place to have your shop.
