Overview
Renaissance Lofts is one of Atlanta's most distinctive residential addresses, a 16-story high-rise loft conversion at 120 Ralph McGill Boulevard NE in the SoNo corridor (South of North Avenue). Positioned between Downtown and Midtown, the building offers a rare combination: authentic loft character at high-rise elevation, delivering panoramic skyline views that most loft communities cannot provide. With 186 residences ranging from studios to two-bedroom layouts, Renaissance Lofts appeals to buyers drawn to urban living with industrial edge and genuine architectural history.
Architecture and Design
Originally constructed in 1974 as the Southeast regional headquarters for a federal environmental agency, the building's mid-century commercial bones proved ideal for its residential conversion. Ahead of the 1996 Summer Olympics, the property was reimagined as apartments and subsequently converted to condominium ownership by the Novare Group. That transformation preserved the building's most compelling qualities: soaring 11-foot concrete ceilings, 40-foot-wide double-pane commercial windows, exposed ductwork, exposed brick walls, and stained concrete floors. The result is an uncompromising loft aesthetic at every level, with sweeping views extending across Midtown, Downtown, and as far as Buckhead.
Residences
Floor plans range from studios of approximately 488 square feet to two-bedroom residences of 1,532 square feet. Every unit benefits from the building's commercial heritage: open layouts, expansive window lines, and volume that smaller condominiums rarely achieve. Many residences have been updated with contemporary kitchens and modern fixtures, while others retain their raw loft character. Resale pricing ranges from approximately $160,000 for compact one-bedroom units to around $325,000 for larger two-bedroom homes, offering an accessible entry point into Atlanta's intown market.
Amenities
The building's amenity package is anchored by 24-hour concierge service and gated, secure entry. Residents enjoy an Olympic-sized outdoor swimming pool with sundeck, a fitness center, a business center with conference rooms, and on-site property management. The community is pet-friendly with a dedicated pet walk area. Assigned garage parking comes standard with ample guest parking, and the property is wired for Google Fiber.
Location and Lifestyle
Dining and Retail Nearby
The SoNo corridor places residents within minutes of some of Atlanta's most celebrated dining destinations. Empire State South, helmed by James Beard Award winner Hugh Acheson, is a short walk away, as is Ecco, a Midtown favorite known for its Mediterranean-influenced menu. The Fox Theatre anchors the cultural scene directly up Peachtree Street, while Ponce City Market and Krog Street Market sit along the nearby Eastside Beltline Trail, offering dozens of chef-driven food stalls, boutique retail, and rooftop entertainment at Skyline Park. The Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, and Centennial Olympic Park are all within a half-mile to the south.
The Lifestyle
The Civic Center MARTA station is less than a half-mile walk, providing rapid transit access to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Buckhead, and Lenox Mall. The I-75/85 connector is moments away for commuters. Central Park is just blocks away, and the Eastside Beltline Trail is roughly a mile east, linking walkers, runners, and cyclists to Historic Fourth Ward Park. The building also sits adjacent to the future Civic Center redevelopment, a 19-acre mixed-use project that will bring new retail and public gathering spaces to the immediate neighborhood. Renaissance Lofts is ideally suited for first-time buyers, young professionals, creatives, and empty-nesters seeking a character-rich condominium in one of Atlanta's most connected locations.
