"The return to in-town living has been a remarkable development here in the last five years...Beginning with the 1996 summer Olympic Games, when several daring developers built in- town complexes and converted downtown buildings into lofts, the urban market has been sizzling...Condominiums are rising in parts of downtown and Midtown that few Atlantans would have visited a decade ago. Old buildings are being converted into lofts, a new concept here, and new buildings are being designed to look like old loft conversions. Prices are astronomical for the market."
