A Palm Beach developer is breaking ground on a towering luxury condominium building in Buckhead.

Kolter Urban, a division of The Kolter Group, has started construction on an 18-story condo tower at 2425 Peachtree Road called The Dillon, right next to the Peachtree Battle shopping center. The building will offer 144 luxury for-sale units, with prices slated to start at $800K and the penthouses anticipated to reach $2M.

Integra Construction has been tapped as the general contractor while Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty is marketing the units. A press release didn't disclose how construction is being financed.

The project, spanning over an acre, will include nearly 49K SF of amenity spaces, including a social room, a theater with a popcorn bar, a resident-only speakeasy lounge with weekly activities, a game room, a terrace-level outdoor pool, a pickleball court, a fitness center, a yoga lawn and a dog park.

Kolter is underway with $4.9B of residential projects, and also developed The Ritz-Carlton Residences in Sarasota, Graydon Buckhead and ONE St. Petersburg.
