Roberts Realty Investors, Inc. Sells 11 Acre Parcel of Land

It looks like Sandy Springs might be getting another multi-family community sometime in the future. Roberts Realty Investors, Inc. recently announced that it has signed a contract to sell its 11-acre parcel of land located off of GA 400 and Northridge Road in Sandy Springs. The piece of land was purchased for a total of $5,363,789 or $24,381 per apartment unit. The company expects to close the sale by October 31, 2011, subject to customary due diligence and closing conditions.

Mr. Charles R. Elliott, the company’s CFO, stated: “Although we had planned to, and would have preferred to, develop and construct a multifamily community on the Northridge land parcel ourselves, we have not been able to obtain the necessary equity and construction financing. We concluded that it is in the best interest of the company and our shareholders to sell the Northridge land parcel to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and provide it with increased liquidity.”

It’s great to see land selling in the Sandy Springs real estate market, which ideally means we’ll also be seeing new construction. As we hear more about this deal, we’ll keep you updated with the status.

Location Draws Home Buyers to Meadowbrook

Meadowbrook is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Sandy Springs. With homes built in the 1950′s, you primarily find ranch homes filled with upgrades and renovations. Of course, there is the occasional homesite in which the original house was removed and a new home built in its place. As an old neighborhood, mature trees line the streets and fill both front and backyards. In addition, the homesites tend to be a bit bigger than what you can find with new construction. While all of these features are appealing, there is one major reason home shoppers flock to Meadowbrook – location.

Meadowbrook sits off of Roswell Road at the very southern tip of Sandy Springs. In other words, the address is basically in Buckhead. Chastain Park, along with many restaurants, shops and other recreational outlets, is within walking distance of the community.

Typically, there aren’t more than a handful of homes available at any given time, with prices starting in the $300′s and ranging to over a million for some of the newer homes. Here are two Sandy Springs homes currently for sale in Meadowbrook:

Increase in Sandy Springs Home Sales
