ATLANTA, GA (Nov. 15, 2001) - The Borghese, one of Atlanta's most exclusive luxury condominiums and part of the mixed-use residential and commercial Piazza at Paces community on the Smart Side of Buckhead, has opened two new and spectacular model homes designed by the award-winning firm of Chapman Design Group, Ltd.

The 12-story, 62-unit property, which includes an additional penthouse level, is located at the intersection of Northside Parkway and Howell Mill Rd., one mile south of West Paces Ferry Rd. Homes are priced from the $500,000s to over $2 million.

"These model homes perfectly showcase The Borghese's classic Italian style of architecture and traditional Old World appeal, " said Jay Hodgins, an associate of Chapman Design, which also recently designed two model homes at Villas di Broghese, the new townhome development adjacent to The Borghese. "In addition, they point to the international chic and refinement that today's Atlantans are looking for."

For example, model #707, which boasts more than 3,880 square feet, is sophisticated, massive and ideal for entertaining. With two separate wings, highlights include an entry flanked by dramatic Chinese urns; an oversized living room with a 14-panel chinoiserie screen hand-painted in black lacquer and gold; a formal dining room that seats 10 at an inlaid twin-pedestal table, and sculpture niches throughout. The palette is neutral taupe with black accents, adding to an understated but sophisticated feel and progressive flow from space to space. Model #701, with cherry-stained wood floors throughout, is awash in dramatic color with reds, large patterns and daring stripes. Its style - bold, confident and whimsical - is an exciting compliment to the overall elegance and sophistication of The Borghese.

Toronto-based Chapman Design was founded in 1980 and is known for its sophisticated international style. It specializes in the interior design and decoration of common areas, sales centers and models within the residential development industry. Champan has been responsible for such prestigious developments as Baker Square, Boston; Trump Palace Court and 1049 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, and Somerset House, Washington and for private residences at Royal Westmoreland Golf & Country Club in Barbados. The firm also handled The Cotton House Resort on the island of Mustique, which was featured on a recent Architectural Digest cover.

The Borghese's amenities include The Intermezzo Club Room and Dining Room for entertaining, heated outdoor swimming pool, private health club with separate massage room, saunas, library, 24-hour concierge and valet. Residents can take advantage of services at The Forum at Piazza at Paces - a mid-rise office building adjacent to The Borghese - including banking, dry cleaning, car detailing, a sundries shop and fine dining at the new Joël. The Forum, now 75% leased, will be the temporary home of The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, pending completion of its new building just west of The Borghese.

The property was developed by Atlanta-based Southeast Capital Partners, Inc., which has successfully developed over $100 million in luxury condominiums and townhomes in the metropolitan area. Established in 1993, the company's principals are Jay T. Clark and Satish S. Lathi, both experts in the development and construction of luxury residential buildings. The Borghese team includes Alexander Weiner Baker Architects and Hardin Construction Group, Inc. The property's primary investor is Ronus, Inc., the U.S. real estate arm of a European group owned by Ronald de Waal. Coldwell Banker The Condo Store handles exclusive marketing and sales of the property.
