Elyse Moves Into Construction as Buckhead Condo Supply Stays Tight

March 31, 2026 | Read Time: 5 minutes

Elyse has moved from planning into construction along West Paces Ferry Road, marking a significant step for a Buckhead condominium project that had already attracted substantial buyer interest before work began. Located directly next to the St. Regis Atlanta, the development entered its groundbreaking phase with more than $60 million in residences already under contract.

Kolter Urban is leading the project after completing two other sold-out Buckhead developments, The Dillon and Graydon. With relatively few new condominium options entering this part of Atlanta, Elyse is advancing at a time when buyers continue to show interest in newly built residences within established Buckhead locations.

Groundbreaking Moves Elyse Into Its Next Phase

Starting construction turns Elyse from a proposed addition to West Paces Ferry into a project buyers can now watch progress on the ground. The milestone gives the development a more visible presence in Buckhead while moving future residents closer to the community that was presented during its early sales period.

“Breaking ground on the project represents an important step forward for the community,” said Aaron Taulbee, Regional President, Kolter Urban. “It’s a meaningful moment not only for future Elyse residents, but for what it will contribute to the Buckhead landscape moving forward.”

As the site begins its next stage, the pace of progress reinforces confidence in a market where buyers are increasingly focused on projects that demonstrate both clarity of vision and forward movement.

A Location Defined by Legacy and Access

Positioned along West Paces Ferry Road and adjacent to the St. Regis Atlanta, Elyse is rooted in one of Buckhead’s most recognizable and enduring residential settings. This corridor has long been associated with established prestige, while also offering close proximity to the retail and dining destinations of Buckhead Village.

The location places residents within walking distance of dining, retail, and everyday conveniences, while maintaining a sense of separation and residential character that continues to define this part of the neighborhood. For buyers searching for new Buckhead condos, the combination of address and accessibility remains a defining consideration.

New Construction Condos in Buckhead – A Distinct Offering

Planned as a 20-story residential tower with 194 condominium residences, Elyse introduces a wider range of residence sizes and layouts than many recent developments in the area. Residences range from approximately 1,436 to 4,032 square feet, with floorplans spanning from one-bedroom-plus-den layouts to three-bedroom-plus-den homes, accommodating both full-time residents and those seeking a more flexible, lock-and-leave lifestyle.

Pricing is currently offered from $1 million, reflecting the early stage of the project, with a range of home sizes and configurations offering flexibility across a range of buyer needs.

Amenities That Extend the Living Experience

Integral to Elyse is a comprehensive amenity program designed to function as a natural extension of the residences. The building is planned with approximately 63,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities, creating a range of spaces that support both daily routines and social engagement.

Indoor offerings include a series of thoughtfully designed gathering and wellness spaces, such as a social room, game room, residents-only lounge, guest suites, and a spa center with treatment areas, sauna, steam, and cold plunge. Additional spaces include a formal club room, private dining room with catering kitchen, screening theater, and a collection of lounges tailored to different uses—from a sports lounge and simulator space to a dedicated work-from-home environment known as “The Hub.”

Fitness and wellness are also central to the program, with a fitness center, glass-enclosed personal training studio, and movement room designed to support a range of activities. Outdoor amenities extend this experience further, with an elevated terrace featuring an open-air kitchen, fire pit, heated pools with private cabanas, and an event lawn, along with a pickleball court, dog park, and pet wash station.

Demand Reflects Today’s Buyer Priorities

The early response to Elyse aligns with broader trends for new luxury condos in Buckhead Atlanta, where buyers are placing increasing value on well-located, thoughtfully designed residences that support a more streamlined lifestyle.

“We’re seeing strong interest from buyers who have been waiting for the right opportunity in Buckhead—particularly in locations this convenient to the energy of Buckhead Village,” said Anne Schwall of Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty. “The level of early activity at Elyse reflects the confidence in Kolter Urban’s high standards as demonstrated in their past projects.”

Limited New Supply Is Shaping the Buckhead Condo Market

New-construction condominium opportunities remain relatively scarce in Buckhead, particularly in locations with the visibility and established surroundings found along West Paces Ferry. The sellout of The Dillon demonstrated how quickly well-positioned projects can move when they align with what buyers are seeking from a new urban residence.

Elyse is entering the market within that same constrained environment. Its location, construction timing and early sales activity place the development at a stage where buyers can evaluate a project that is no longer simply proposed, but actively moving forward.

As work progresses beside the St. Regis, prospective residents also have a way to examine the project in greater detail. The Elyse Buckhead Sales Gallery provides a closer look at the residences, design direction and broader vision behind the community while construction advances nearby.

With relatively few new condominium developments currently underway in Buckhead, Elyse represents a distinct option for buyers evaluating what is available in the market today.
