ATLANTA (Dec. 9, 2013) – iStar Residential, a division of
iStar Financial Inc. (NYSE: SFI), announced today it has hired an all-new sales
team, led by the top-selling high-rise agent in Atlanta, for The Residences
at Mandarin Oriental, Atlanta.
Karen Rodriguez of Dorsey Alston Realtors will lead
the revamped sales efforts. She brings 11 years of experience in the Buckhead
luxury high-rise market to the exclusive, world-class property.
The addition of
Rodriguez is part of an extensive rebranding process that began in May 2012
with the reintroduction of the exclusive, five-star luxury Mandarin Oriental,
Atlanta.
The debt-free property, wholly owned by real estate company
iStar Financial Inc., has been reshaped into one of the top-ranked hotels in
the city. Now, iStar Financial Inc. has shifted focus to the 25-unit
residential units on the top floors of the property.
Before joining The
Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Atlanta, Rodriguez led the sales and marketing
strategy for the nearby $100 million Ritz-Carlton Residences high-rise project,
selling out the property in a mere two-and-a-half years.
The leading luxury high-rise condominium expert in Buckhead,
Rodriguez has also represented many of Atlanta’s top developers, including Post
Properties and the Novare Group.

“Karen brings an
intimate and unparalleled knowledge of the Buckhead high-rise market to this
luxury property,” said John Kubicko, Senior Vice President at iStar
Financial Inc. “We are very pleased to have someone with such extensive
experience lead our sales efforts.”
The Residences currently are being built-out with
contemporary, ultra high-end finishes and sleek, built-in fireplaces with
marble surrounds. Each unit will also feature a 36-inch Viking gas grill as
well as a fireplace on its balcony.
The team is also revamping the common areas with modern
color palettes and sleek marble floors. iStar has partnered with premier local
architectural firm Harrison Design to craft unique layouts that showcase the
spectacular views. Additionally, plans are underway to build out all the
remaining unfinished shells.
Harrison Design
Associates also designed a lavish three-bedroom model home that was staged on
the 45th floor to demonstrate The Residences’ new contemporary appearance.
Decorated by Decatur, Ga.,-based firm GraysonHarris, the model was unveiled in
September and was featured in the November edition of Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles.
