UrbaNerd Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 If I'm not mistaken..aren't those two towers in the last few pics part of Sandy Springs, and NOT Buckhead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 So what? He's introduced some good topics - about architecture and development.The two towers with the funny tops are a bit north of Buckhead, closer to Perimeter Mall, which is kind of like our Woodlands.

The Great Hizzy! Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Those two towers are nicknamed the "King" and "Queen" towers, and are located just north of the I-285 Perimeter Freeway, roughly four or five miles north of Buckhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious as to what a posh mall in Atlanta looks like.Yo, does anyone here think the "King" and "Queen" towers in that middle picture look strikingly similar to the towers in our Medical Center? I wonder if the designs were purposely similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HtownKid Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 The Posh Mall would be Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza located across the street from each other but Perimeter is still very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest danax Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Well at least our posh area isn't named Buckhead . They'd really think we were a bunch on cow pokes with a name like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like I consider Greenway Plaza near the Galleria Uptown Area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunstar Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I was under the impression that Buckhead was more gentrified and variegated than the Galleria; more of an older, established neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamtagon Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Buckhead is not even as impressive as Uptown Dallas or OKC for Pete's sakes!Borrrring.... is correct!<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I'm in Buckhead frequently. Geographically, it's a large part of town which includes the most affluent neighborhoods of the Atlanta area, one of the busiest restaurants scenes in the area, a cluster of shopping centers and malls with almost every possible retail venue (along with train access), one of the busiest nightclub scene, dozens of highrise residential and office towers, and several under construction. Buckhead is far from boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 As I understand it, Buckhead has a large enough population that many people who live there never venture into other parts of Atlanta. I used to see "Buckhead" magazine in Superstand. I don't know many other cities that have magazines just for certain neighborhoods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooner&RiceGrad Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Good for them.Buckhead is simply a self sufficient suburb of Atlanta. God knows I would get flamed off the site if I came and posted pics of Edmond, OK.There is nothing special about Buckhead... besides the cool name!

VelvetJ Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I've always been fascinated with Buckhead for whatever reason. Believe it or not, I actually prefer it's skyline to Downtown Atlanta. I love the architecture there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GovernorAggie Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Pretty cool but doesn't touch Uptown Houston. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not even close. But for poshness--Phipps Plaza takes the cake. Hardwood interiors with marble flooring. It's just amazing to see. Google search of Phipps Plaza images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VelvetJ Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 The latest buildings that are being added to the buckhead skyline have gotten me jealous. IMO, with the exception of Enron II, none of Houston's recent buildings built, going up, or proposed, can even touch these new buildings in Buckhead. All of the excuses that are given for the bland, uninspiring architectural choices for Houston as of late hold no water for me. What is going on in Atlanta that inspires such gems?

An the train access is nice I rode the Marta Train from Perimeter to BuckHead/Lenox Square was nice not to have to drive an surprisingly a clean public train.

strickn Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Just looking around on the Web, it looks like greater uptown has 24,000 units in multifamily residential, mostly in low-rise complexes, where Buckhead (a smaller area) has nearly 13,000 units in midrise to highrise buildings alone. As far as office, the ABCs are roughly 15/5/2 for Buckhead and say 15/9/2 for Uptown (in million (square) feet) We may have to break the tie with mini-storage units.
