ATLANTA, GA (Feb. 11, 2015) – Real estate investment and
development company, The Trillist Companies Inc., announced today that
construction has commenced on the highly-anticipated YOO on the Park tower
located adjacent to Piedmont Park and in the heart of blossoming Midtown.
YOO on the Park is the first in a platform of exquisitely
designed and branded luxury residential rental buildings to be developed by The
Trillist Companies, Inc. in a strategic partnership with London-based YOO
Studio, which is a global design and lifestyle brand and the result of a
partnership between property entrepreneur John Hitchcox and the
ubiquitous designer, Philippe Starck.
In November 2014,
Trillist launched sales of YOO at Metropica, a 263-unit, 28-story condominium
tower located in the Metropica master-planned community in South Florida.
“The commencement of YOO on the Park not only represents the
addition of an incredible development in Midtown that will elevate residential
living within this city, but the launch of an exciting partnership with YOO
Studio that was formed to develop luxury branded residential buildings in major
cities throughout the United States that will forever redefine living,” said Scott
L. Leventhal, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Trillist
Companies, Inc.

will have the opportunity to enjoy amenities and finishes not yet seen in this
market.”
YOO on the Park will be a highly appointed 25-story,
245-unit luxury apartment building located at 207 13th Street, between
Juniper Street and Piedmont Avenue in the heart of Midtown.
It is conceived as a veritable extension of the park itself,
reflecting its greenery, fitness-focus and liveliness, while adding superb
luxury finishes, state-of-the-art technology, and inventive, unexpected design
touches which may be found in YOO’s impressive portfolio of design-centric
communities around the world.
