About Us

Originally the home of Cofer Seed, a major supplier of agricultural products when "Cotton was King", this building actually borders the North Campus of UGA.

We purchased this building in 1987 and set about restoring it to its original luster. The antique tin-ceiling was lovingly restored, hardwood floors sanded and polished, stucco and bricks re-glazed to their original luster. The retail space on Broad is leased by Zombie Coffee & Donuts. Each of the three unique apartments on the upper two floors above face either the Campus or Downtown, and all have special views and central heat and air. A separate laundry room downstairs is exclusively for the residents of this building.

This was Renegade's very first acquisition in Downtown Athens in the 1980's. Built in the early 1900's in the heart of Clayton Street, this building has lived its life dressed up as a hardware store, a men's haberdashery, a bookstore, a record shop, and a sporting goods store. It is now home to a leasing office

.
When we purchased it in the 1980's, it was in disrepair and the upper floors (now our three awesome apartments) were comprised of busted windows, and the largest pigeon roost in Athens. We hired a fabulous architect and developed what became Athens first downtown multi-apartment (3) site above a historic building, garnishing City accolades and the first Golden Nail award for historic renovation.

Built in the Center of downtown Athens and sited on its highest hill, The Georgian Hotel was designed by the Dutch architect Anthony Ten Eyck in 1908. It was one of the State’s premier hotels in its day and remains one of Georgia’s unique historic treasures.
Renovated in 2007, The Georgian is now an upscale 34 unit property with a secured elevator to the residences and, on the main floor, one of Athens premier restaurants - South Kitchen. The vast Entrance,  secure Lobby, and Ballroom feature marble columns with elaborate Romanesque wreathed “capitals”, grand arched stained-glass windows throughout, and period granite, marble, and tile interiors. Just steps away from fine dining and shopping, the Georgian is your gateway to the University of Georgia and one of The state’s premier downtown districts.

The Morris Building, site of Renegade Properties’ two newest apartments, is actually a complex of three buildings directly across from University of Georgia’s original campus on Broad Street. Built in the early 1900’s, The Morris has been home to some of Athens most famous restaurants and stores for over a hundred years, and her ground floor restaurants and clubs still exude that ageless charm. Ahh, but now, the new loft suites ABOVE the ground, and looking out over this Grand Dame to the campus below....THIS is where we take you now!
