Leaving Behind All But The Hanging “Animal Heads”
Saskatoon Restaurant will soon meat its end at 360 Pharr Road in Buckhead. This steak, fish and wild game eatery which served items such as elk tenderloin, ostrich fillet, buffalo flank steak and venison rib chops, originally opened in February of this year (bull testicles, anyone?).
Taking space that had just undergone $1,000,000.00 in brand new improvements, furniture, fixtures, equipment, HVAC, and grease traps by previous tenant, Harry Bissett’s of Athens, the tenant was buying into a location that had already seen a multimillion dollar build-out.
The landlord is allowing Saskatoon to stay open while space is being marketed and is up for lease through the Shumacher Group.

This past Thursday, Aug. 26, Starwood Capital Group held a grand reopening Gala at The Atlantic to relaunch Starwood Properties in the Atlanta Market which include The Brookwood Condos located at 1820 Peachtree Road in Buckhead.
Starwood Capital Group foreclosed on The Brookwood, a 20-story luxury condo tower at a foreclosure auction Jan. 5– a $109 million loan secured by the building, according to Databank Inc.
Starwood is believed to have purchased the note for at least 35 to 40 percent of the original value of the loan, which was originated by the failed Corus Bank of Chicago, says Doug Sams with the Atlanta Business Chronicle.
