Colony House is part of the Colony Square complex. Built in the 1970s, it introduced the concept of a mixed use development to the Southeast. Based upon Le Corbusier's Unite d'Habitation in Marseilles, France, Colony Square was designed by the award-winning Jova/Daniels/Busby architectural firm and features classic modern details including: floor-to-ceiling windows, the prominent use of textured poured concrete, oversized floorplans, and a rhythmic facade. Colony Square is also home to a retail mall with numerous restaurants, an office building, and an upscale hotel.
The Colony Square complex occupies a prestigious location on Peachtree Street between 14th and 15th Streets. It is across the street from the Woodruff Arts Center, the High Museum of Art, and the 14th Street Playhouse, and just a few short blocks from Piedmont Park and the Atlanta Botanical Garden. Residents enjoy easy access to all of Midtown's restaurants, shops, clubs, and major arts venues. To go further afield, you can simply walk across the street to the Arts Center MARTA rail station and hop a train to Downtown, Buckhead, or the airport. This location also offers exceptionally easy access to I-75/85, and from there to GA 400, I-20, or I-285. This area is convenient to Georgia Tech and Emory University. There are many nearby shopping districts, including the massive Atlantic Station development and all of the Buckhead business district. Major new development is planned in the area as well. The new 2.5 million sq. ft. "12th & Midtown" multi-use development is just a couple of blocks away, as well the new Trump Towers (at 15th and West Peachtree).
Midtown is a lively and energetic community. Its residents are predominately young professionals who are active and civic-minded. Midtown greatly benefits from both a strong and effective neighborhood association and business association. The Midtown Alliance spends millions of dollars to provide additional community services and to improve infrastructure. Two of the organization's initiatives are Midtown Blue (a full-time, private police force staffed by off-duty police officers) and Midtown Green (an environmental maintenance crew that scours the area to eliminate debris and visual clutter).
