New Luxury Condo Breaks Ground Near the St. Regis in Buckhead
Posted in APRIL 2026
A new residential address is taking shape in one of Buckhead’s most established corridors as Elyse breaks ground along West Paces Ferry Road, directly adjacent to the St. Regis Atlanta. This milestone marks a meaningful step forward for a community that has already generated strong early interest, with sales over $60M in residences under contract prior to the start of construction.
Led by Kolter Urban, whose Buckhead developments The Dillon and Graydon are now sold out, Elyse builds on that success with a new residential offering aligned with evolving buyer preferences in the Atlanta market. As demand for new construction condos in Buckhead remains strong—and supply limited—the project’s progression reflects both timing and market alignment.
A Decisive Start with Clear Momentum
The groundbreaking of Elyse signals more than a ceremonial milestone; it represents the transition into a new phase of the project as it begins to take physical form along West Paces Ferry.
“Breaking ground on the project represents an important step forward for the community,” said Aaron Taulbee, Regional President, Kolter Urban. “It’s a meaningful moment not only for future Elyse residents, but for what it will contribute to the Buckhead landscape moving forward.”
As the site begins its next stage, the pace of progress reinforces confidence in a market where buyers are increasingly focused on projects that demonstrate both clarity of vision and forward movement.
A Location Defined by Legacy and Access
Positioned along West Paces Ferry Road and adjacent to the St. Regis Atlanta, Elyse is rooted in one of Buckhead’s most recognizable and enduring residential settings. This corridor has long been associated with established prestige, while also offering close proximity to the retail and dining destinations of Buckhead Village.
The location places residents within walking distance of dining, retail, and everyday conveniences, while maintaining a sense of separation and residential character that continues to define this part of the neighborhood. For buyers searching for new Buckhead condos, the combination of address and accessibility remains a defining consideration.
New Construction Condos in Buckhead – A Distinct Offering
Planned as a 20-story residential tower with 194 condominium residences, Elyse introduces a wider range of residence sizes and layouts than many recent developments in the area. Residences range from approximately 1,436 to 4,032 square feet, with floorplans spanning from one-bedroom-plus-den layouts to three-bedroom-plus-den homes, accommodating both full-time residents and those seeking a more flexible, lock-and-leave lifestyle.
Pricing is currently offered from $1 million, reflecting the early stage of the project, with a range of home sizes and configurations offering flexibility across a range of buyer needs.
Amenities That Extend the Living Experience
Integral to Elyse is a comprehensive amenity program designed to function as a natural extension of the residences. The building is planned with approximately 63,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities, creating a range of spaces that support both daily routines and social engagement.
Indoor offerings include a series of thoughtfully designed gathering and wellness spaces, such as a social room, game room, residents-only lounge, guest suites, and a spa center with treatment areas, sauna, steam, and cold plunge. Additional spaces include a formal club room, private dining room with catering kitchen, screening theater, and a collection of lounges tailored to different uses—from a sports lounge and simulator space to a dedicated work-from-home environment known as “The Hub.”
Fitness and wellness are also central to the program, with a fitness center, glass-enclosed personal training studio, and movement room designed to support a range of activities. Outdoor amenities extend this experience further, with an elevated terrace featuring an open-air kitchen, fire pit, heated pools with private cabanas, and an event lawn, along with a pickleball court, dog park, and pet wash station.
Demand Reflects Today’s Buyer Priorities
The early response to Elyse aligns with broader trends for new luxury condos in Buckhead Atlanta, where buyers are placing increasing value on well-located, thoughtfully designed residences that support a more streamlined lifestyle.
“We’re seeing strong interest from buyers who have been waiting for the right opportunity in Buckhead—particularly in locations this convenient to the energy of Buckhead Village,” said Anne Schwall of Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty. “The level of early activity at Elyse reflects the confidence in Kolter Urban’s high standards as demonstrated in their past projects.”
A Supply-Constrained Market
Opportunities for new construction condominiums in Buckhead—especially in locations of this caliber—remain relatively limited. The sellout of The Dillon underscored the pace at which well-positioned developments can move, particularly when they reflect current lifestyle preferences.
At Elyse, the combination of location, timing, and early momentum creates a distinct phase in the project’s evolution. As groundbreaking moves the community forward, it also provides greater clarity for buyers evaluating what is available now versus what may come later.
