ATLANTA, GA - Having recently completed construction work on a unique approach to student housing, WestMar Student Lofts brings an array of benefits to the ongoing revitalization of West Midtown Atlanta, including the ability to entice college students to attend school and live in the area. The injection of student residents and, eventually, young professionals in West Midtown will help boost an Atlanta-area economy struggling to overcome an unemployment rate higher than 10 percent, according to the state labor department.
Since 2008, West Midtown has seen a radical facelift. Mixed-used urban centers embodying the live-work-play lifestyle have begun surfacing throughout this upscale neighborhood – an area once dominated by industrial development. Contributing to West Midtown’s resurrection, WestMar opened its doors in Jan. 2011, and renovations and improvements have continued well into spring with the goal of carving a new niche in Atlanta’s real estate industry.
“WestMar is a prime example of modern development and an integral part of West Midtown’s future,” says Drummond. “We have combined the most beneficial elements and resources of traditional student housing with the unique and exciting lifestyle of Midtown Atlanta.”
The concept of designated off-campus student housing is becoming increasingly popular. Pre-existing communities, however, have struggled to master the art of harmonizing the prestigious – and often expensive – Atlanta lifestyle with elite academic resources comparable to major universities. But WestMar’s one-of-a-kind list of amenities transforms the predetermined idea of off-campus student housing.
“Not only are the improvements and additions to WestMar substantially unique, but they are ongoing,” says Nick Drummond, community manager for WestMar. “Our goal is to provide in-town college students with a community and collection of amenities they cannot find anywhere else.”
