Terrace Court
The Terrace Court Apartments are a landmark 46-unit apartment building at the corner of Highland Avenue and 20th Street South near Five Points South. The six-story building was constructed in 1907 and includes retail and office space on the ground floor and first floor. The construction was billed as being sound-proofed and fireproofed with sand and terra-cotta packed in the spaces between the floors.
In 2006, Boothby Realty and its investment partners announced a $5 million plan to redevelop Terrace Court as the Terrace on Highland Condominiums. Plans call for 26 condominiums, ranging from 875 to 1,928 square feet, designed by Cohen Carnaggio Reynolds architects. The units are priced at $298,000 to $695,000. The courtyard and lobby areas will be restored closer to their original appearance, including a pre-Nazi party swastika design in the lobby tile. A fitness center and concierge are planned amenities for residents. Completion of the renovations is scheduled for 2007. Only the spot occupied by Dave's Pub would remain as commercial space.
