The Irby, a new luxury multifamily development in the heart of Buckhead’s preeminent entertainment district featuring boutiques, restaurants, businesses, history and culture, welcomed its first residents this month. Located at 65 Irby Avenue Northwest, The Irby offers walking access to The Shops Buckhead Atlanta, the city’s destination for luxury retail and dining, as well as the iconic Buckhead entertainment scene. Named after Henry Irby, the man widely believed to have founded Buckhead in the 1800s, The Irby is an instant Buckhead landmark.
 
Designed by The Preston Partnership, The Irby features 12 stories for a total of 277 luxury studio, one- and two-bedroom units positioned above 13,150-square-feet of ground-floor restaurant and retail space. Sustainably designed and built, The Irby received the National Green Building Standard (NGBS) Green Certification in recognition of high performance in six key areas: site design, resource efficiency, water efficiency, energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and building operation and maintenance.
 
With magnificent ironwork, curated artwork, elegant herringbone wood floors and other richly designed details, The Irby provides a modern take on old-world style. Natural light is abundant and skyline views are plentiful through the expansive windows in each residence. Each open-floorplan unit is appointed with soaring ceilings; sophisticated custom cabinetry; stylish quartz counter tops; expansive kitchen islands; gas-powered ranges; stainless steel GE appliances; luminous tile backsplashes; upscale spa-like bathrooms; hardwood-style flooring; built-in USB ports; custom entry mud benches; and keyless door locks. Residents may select from two designer finish packages, featuring either sleek, matte black, brass or brushed nickel features. Additional extravagance is offered in 22 spacious penthouse units with a third custom finish package showcasing powder rooms, private wine coolers, soft-close cabinets and matte black Moen spring faucets.
 
“Sophisticated residents are seeking curated experiences in addition to a wealth of amenities, both within their community and in a walkable neighborhood that meets their lifestyle. The Irby delivers all of that and more,” said Alliance Residential’s Southeast Managing Director, Todd Oglesby. “Residents are choosing to rent for longer periods of time rather than purchase, so they select developments with a strong sense of community combined with the unique amenities and conveniences that accommodate their upscale and active lifestyles.”
 
Residents at The Irby will be able to mingle with their neighbors, entertain guests or spend a relaxing afternoon or evening in the many smoke-free amenity spaces available, including a high-rise lookout terrace; Skylounge with a chef-inspired demonstration kitchen and family-style dining area, theater room, game room and private bar;  and elevated courtyard with fire pit, grilling station, TVs and private cabanas. Other amenities at the community include a resort-style saltwater pool; 24-hour athletic club featuring a yoga studio, luxurious dry sauna and Peloton bike; bike storage with repair station; pet spa; 24/7 package concierge; valet dry cleaning; a guest suite; and complimentary wine tastings.
