Overview
Decatur Renaissance occupies one of the most coveted addresses in intown Atlanta: the intersection of East Ponce de Leon Avenue and North Candler Street, directly in the heart of downtown Decatur. Completed in 2005, this six-story luxury mid-rise delivers 168 thoughtfully designed residences above ground-floor retail, creating the kind of mixed-use, walkable lifestyle that defines Decatur at its best. From the moment you step outside, the entire village is at your doorstep: acclaimed restaurants, independent boutiques, and a MARTA rail station just one block away.
Architecture and Design
The building's stucco facade and terracotta-accented roofline lend it a warm, Mediterranean-inspired presence that complements Decatur's eclectic architectural character. A symmetrical composition anchored by a central tower element gives the structure a distinguished profile along the Ponce de Leon corridor. Street-level retail storefronts activate the sidewalk, while private balconies on upper floors provide residents with their own perch above the energy of downtown. The aesthetic is refined without being austere, reflecting the community's preference for substance over spectacle.
Residences
One- and two-bedroom floor plans range from 732 to 1,254 square feet, each designed around open-concept layouts that maximize natural light and livability. Interior finishes include hardwood floors throughout, upscale kitchens with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, generous walk-in closets, and private balconies with views over the treetops of downtown Decatur. Units are thoughtfully proportioned to balance comfortable daily living with the ease of low-maintenance condominium ownership.
Amenities
Decatur Renaissance offers a curated suite of amenities uncommon for a community of its scale. The rooftop swimming pool provides a private retreat above the streetscape, while the state-of-the-art fitness center and dedicated yoga room serve residents who prioritize wellness at home. A 24-hour concierge desk anchors the lobby, providing convenience around the clock. The media room, business center with conference room, and resident clubroom round out the shared spaces, offering areas to entertain, collaborate, or simply relax. A secured parking garage provides covered, protected access to vehicles.
