Atlanta Penthouse Auction
Last Updated on Monday, 26 April 2010 01:40 Written by a2e Monday, 26 April 2010 01:40
Grand Estates Auction Co., America’s top luxury real estate auction firm with hundreds of successful auctions of one-of-a-kind properties, is selling two distinctive Atlanta-area properties, including a penthouse owned by a former CEO of Coca-Cola Enterprises, on the same day – Tuesday, May 4. Both will be sold at “absolute” auctions.
For the first May 4 auction, at 11 a.m., Mr. Alm’s penthouse offers stunning views of the Atlanta skyline from every angle and features a 720-plus-square-foot private roof-top terrace with a garden and spa. “I bought it because it allows outside living in downtown Buckhead, which is very unique,” he said. Just minutes from the city’s sporting events, nightlife and finest restaurants and shopping, the 2,600-plus-square-foot home also offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms and an upscale kitchen in a bright and open environment with 14-foot ceilings. The building offers an amenity package to homeowners, including private 24-hour security and concierge, private pool, fitness center and parking. The home is being offered fully furnished.
The second May 4 auction, at 3 p.m., features a French Country estate situated on a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course in nearby Alpharetta, with five bedrooms, seven and a half baths and more than 9,000 square feet. The estate, built in 1990, has recently added the latest energy-efficient technology, chef’s kitchen, entertainment patio and living room, media room, gym and game room. The exterior of the home is just as breathtaking, with a three-tiered waterfall and reflecting pool overlooking three acres of manicured landscaping surrounding the property.
Understanding that casting the widest net will attract the highest number of qualified bidders, Grand Estates’ 20-person team utilizes its broad experience in marketing luxury real estate to produce attention-grabbing marketing materials, said Stacy Kirk, president of Grand Estates, with offices in Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, La Jolla, Calif., Naples, Fla., and Vail, Colo. Advertising and promotion of each property is featured in high-end publications, including Forbes, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
Founded in 1999, Grand Estates has successfully auctioned hundreds of luxury homes, in the $1.5 million to $10 million range.
Grand Estates auctions are open only to registered bidders, who are required to submit a refundable cashier’s or certified check prior to the auction. Prospective bidders and sellers should contact Grand Estates Auction Co. at 800 552-8120 or 704 529-0026 for bid registration requirements and to inquire about the showing schedule before the auctions.

Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction Week Declared in Palm Beach County
Last Updated on Friday, 26 March 2010 09:20 Written by a2e Friday, 26 March 2010 09:20
The Barrett-Jackson Auction Company announced today that Commissioner Burt Aaronson officially declared March 27-April 3, 2010, “Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction Week” in Palm Beach County. Aaronson presented the proclamation to Rick Vymlatil, president/CEO of Palm Beach County Expositions Inc., on Tuesday in honor of the 8th Annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Palm Beach and other automotive-themed events hosted by Barrett-Jackson beginning tomorrow.
“Everyone at Barrett-Jackson appreciates the support of the current Commissioner Aaronson and the Palm Beach County during the past eight years,” said Craig Jackson, Chairman/CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “Dynamic partnerships with area organizations and the enthusiasm of Palm Beach County residents have helped make our annual auction and activities unlike any other automotive event in the country.”
“Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction Week” in Palm Beach County kicks off tomorrow at 3 p.m. with the Inaugural Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach Road Rally. The rally will travel from the Palm Beach County Convention Center to the Gucci Courtyard on Worth Avenue, with local car clubs as participants. The opening weekend continues tomorrow evening with Barrett-Jackson Night at CityPlace from 4-8 p.m.
On Sunday, Wayne Akers Ford in Lake Worth will host the 3rd annual Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach Cruise-In from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Barrett-Jackson executives will attend the Cruise-In to greet local car enthusiasts and select three “Barrett-Jackson Choice Awards.”
“We have taken our presence in Palm Beach to an entirely new level this year,” added Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “Communities throughout Palm Beach County have played a major role in making Barrett-Jackson the premier collector car auction on the East Coast. We have ratcheted up the thrills this year with several grassroots events and of course, another exciting auction on April 1-3.”
Barrett-Jackson shifts its focus to the Americraft Expo Center at the South Florida Fairgrounds on Wednesday, where it will host “The Party” at 7 p.m. For $75 per couple, guests can enjoy great food and entertainment while partying the night away with Barrett-Jackson.
Another Barrett-Jackson tradition will get a new twist this year at the Palm Beach event. Over the past several years, the Darrell Gwynn Foundation has raised funds at Barrett-Jackson by auctioning cars with 100% of the proceeds benefiting its programs. Before each collector car auction starts, the Foundation gives a wheelchair to a deserving child. To further the organization’s fundraising efforts, Barrett-Jackson will also conduct a live auction with several unique items and experiences to benefit the Darrell Gwynn Foundation during “The Party” on Wednesday night.
The Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach collector car auction takes center stage on Thursday through Saturday. The auction action begins with the automobila before moving to the world’s most desirable vehicles crossing the block at No Reserve.
A complete schedule of events for “Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction Week” in Palm Beach County is available at www.barrett-jackson.com.
