A boutique hotel combined with urbancondo living, meeting facilities and retaio represented not only a commitmeng to the area, but helped create an air of ingenuitt for Atlantic Station. Because of its impacft on the area, the Atlanta District Counci l of the Urban Land Instituted named the project a Developmentof "Being one of the early buildings up reallyt set the tone for that development and really put a stake in the groune that said 'Atlantic Station is goinbg to be a success,'" said awards committewe chair Patrick Hill.
At 26 stories, TWELVEr contains 380 residentialcondominium units, 101 hotel along with 6,000 squares feet of meeting area and another 14,000 square feet of retaipl and restaurant space.

"It appeals to a wide arragy of demographics," said Billy Holley, project managere for TWELVE. "Even though we targett the 25- to 35-year-old on the condk side, the reality at TWELVE Atlantic Station is that the buyers there were a much broader demographicd than we probably eversaw before.
I think the hotelp concept had a lot to dowith that." Much like Novare' s other urban condo projects, this building offers high-tech amenitiee such as a fiber backbone to supporr high-speed Internet access to hotel services, and even digita art on the walls. Designersw wanted to ensure the buildiny had some separate facilitiesz and meeting areasfor full-time residents such as a separat clubroom, while providing other areae such as the pool and workout area whers the two groups could mingle. Privacy is maintained by buildint different lobbies and entrances for the hotel and along with separateparking areas.
