Overview
Element stands as Atlantic Station's premier mid-rise condominium, a 322-home community that brought contemporary urban living to one of the Southeast's most ambitious mixed-use developments. Completed in 2007 at 390 17th Street NW, the five-story building occupies a prime position within the 138-acre Atlantic Station district, placing residents within a genuine walk-to-everything neighborhood where groceries, restaurants, entertainment, fitness, and transit all converge outside the front door. For buyers seeking the ease of a car-optional lifestyle in Atlanta, Element remains one of the most compelling and accessible entry points into intown homeownership.
Architecture and Design
Element was designed around a central courtyard concept, with its five stories wrapping a landscaped interior that houses the community swimming pool and sundeck. The contemporary aesthetic favors clean modern lines, a mix of masonry and composite cladding, and a flat roofline that sits comfortably within the low-to-mid-rise character of Atlantic Station. Balconies project from the majority of residences, giving the facade a layered rhythm while providing residents with private outdoor space. At the ground level, a covered parking garage is integrated into the structure, and the building's courtyard orientation creates a sense of enclosure and community that larger towers often lack.
Residences
With approximately 21 different floor plans, Element offers unusual variety for a condominium of its era. Homes range from efficient one-bedroom layouts at roughly 868 square feet to spacious three-bedroom residences spanning approximately 1,605 square feet. Interiors feature open living and dining areas, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and generous closet space. Most units include private balconies that extend the living area outward, and upper-floor residences benefit from elevated sightlines across the Atlantic Station streetscape and toward the Midtown skyline beyond. The current resale market (as of 2026) spans from roughly $194,000 for entry-level one-bedroom homes to $442,000 for the largest three-bedroom plans.
Amenities
Element delivers a well-rounded amenity package anchored by its courtyard swimming pool with sundeck, a natural gathering point during Atlanta's long warm season. A fully equipped fitness center, a residents' clubroom with catering kitchen, and a dedicated conference room provide spaces for both daily routines and private events. The building's secured, gated access and covered controlled-access parking garage offer peace of mind, while the pet-friendly policy welcomes four-legged residents. Beyond the building itself, Element enjoys direct access to Atlantic Station's 7-acre linear park, landscaped courtyards, and on-site tennis courts, expanding the community's outdoor footprint well beyond its own walls.
Location and Lifestyle
Dining and Retail Nearby
Atlantic Station delivers one of the highest concentrations of walkable retail and dining in the city. A full-service Publix supermarket is steps away, joined by national brands such as West Elm, H&M, and Regal Cinemas. LA Fitness sits within the district for an alternative to the on-site gym, and the restaurant scene rotates through a broad spectrum of casual and upscale options. The 17th Street Bridge connects Element directly to Midtown proper, placing residents within a short walk of the High Museum of Art and the Woodruff Arts Center, home to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the Alliance Theatre.
The Lifestyle
Element appeals to urban professionals and anyone drawn to the idea of leaving the car parked more often than not. Atlantic Station's pedestrian-friendly streetscape and on-site amenities make daily errands a matter of walking, not driving. When the evening calls for something beyond the district, the 17th Street Bridge provides a quick pedestrian connection to the cultural corridor of Peachtree Street, the green expanse of Piedmont Park, and the energy of the broader Midtown neighborhood. Interstate access and the Arts Center MARTA station are minutes away for commuters. It is a lifestyle defined by convenience, community, and the simple pleasure of having everything within reach.
