WHERE YOU
LIVE MAY
DETERMINE
WHETHER
YOU’RE ABLE
TO STAY DURING
OLYMPICS
Residents of Rivermill Apartments won’t
be displaced by the Olympics this summer, but
residents of some of Dr. Fred Moorman’s prop-
ties downtown will.
Landlords vary on a case-by-case basis as
to whether they'll be evicting their own ten
ants in favor of higher-paying Olympics visi
tors; some are still undecided which tack to
take.
“We’U just do the usual thing,” said Marty
Rhyne at Rivermill recently.” As far as we’re
concerned, the Olympics is not coming.”
“There will be some good prices to be had
from the Olympics,” said Dr. Fred Moorman,
the dermatologist/downtown student housing
entrepreneur.
In regard to renting his apartments to
Olympic visitors, Moorman said, “1 believe
we will certainly have that right in a lot of
the leases and a lot of the apartments.... I’m
not being the ruthless person y’all sometimes
make me out to be.”
Pete Mulero at the upscale Georgian
Apartments downtown said several weeks ago
that his company hadn’t decided what to do
for the Olympics and thiat his general man
ager was looking into it.
“I’m not extending anyone’s lease beyond
June, to see what we’re going to do,” Mulero
said.
Michelle Doolittle at University Gardens
Apartments on Baxter said her complex has
a new owner and is in transition and prob
ably wouldn’t know until mid-February how
they’ll handle the Olympics.
Kay Carnes, rental agent for the Mathis
Apartments and the Lyons, said they haven’t
yet set rates for Olympic-period rentals.
“We’re offering to let the tenants stay on,”
Ms. Carnes said. “We haven’t set their rent
for the summer. We should have a number of
apartments available for the summer at the
Lyons, but we haven’t set the rents.”
Jim Day, Director of Housing at the Uni
versity of Georgia, says they’ll be juggling their
usual summer school housing and sports
camps until time for the Olympics. Then
they’ll be under contract to the Atlanta Com
mittee on the Olympic Games to provide
housing.
Mary Wathen, manager of University
Tower, sees the Olympics as a bonanza. Her
tenants will move out during the games to
make way for Olympic visitors.
“I was really fair,” Wathen said. “I told every
kid in here: this is what’s going to happen.”
Wathen has a company in Nashville mar
keting her apartments in Europe, and she says
she is getting a good response.
“I had to go out and buy a big fax ma
chine,” she said.
“What’s worst is patrolling the place,”
Wathen said, pointing out that they’il have
24-hour guards. “I think the whole thing is
going to be exciting.”
Smith Wilson’s S&.W Development rents
a number of downtown apartments. At first
they thought they’d make their apartments
available for the Olympics but then decided
not to.
“There’s a certain grief factor involved,”
said Vickie White, S&W manager. We de
cided it was not worth it.... We even had to
furnish the units and install telephones. There
was a lot of up-front expense. Rents would
have had to be significant to cover all those
costs.” (PMc)
