An Atlanta-based developer plans to make sweeping changes to its Berkman Plaza’s tower by converting the apartments into condos complete with a name change.

The existing tenants were told that the condos would have a price tag of at least $170,000. However, long term tenants will be given the option to slightly extend their leases. 75% of the apartments are leased at the moment. They will then either move out or be given the option to buy.

Many tenants though seem to use the apartments as a weekday home and go back to their main home at the weekends.

Neighbourhoods have the potential to change fast given all the development projects going through. Some people dread the changes because it could irrevocably change the character of their area but some others are hoping that the improvements will actually raise the value of their property.

If no hitches come up in the meantime, the number of residences could triple to more than 6000, despite the city’s goal of 10,000 new residences downtown. Some people seriously dispute those figures, saying 4000 would be realistically nearer the mark.

The city has been pumping cash into incentives to encourage downtown development to the tune of more than $58 million which doesn’t include the $111 million for the Shipyards, a scheme currently in deep-freeze.
