September saw Elton John’s condo go on the market for $4.995 million after the musician wrapped his farewell tour.
Park Place on Peachtree in Atlanta was an easy spot for the musician to fly to.
“The city adopted me and I adopted it,” John said.
He preferred the “courteous and friendly” feel of the city to the busy cities of Los Angeles and New York City.
“I like that Southern hospitality,” he told AD of Atlanta.
Chase Mizell of Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty was the listing agent.
While Elton John’s agent refused to identity the buyer, he did tell the publication that they are an Atlanta local and paid cash.
A quick sale for any market, the coveted four-bedroom gained “a ton of interest right out of the gate”.
Spanning 13,500 square feet, it boasts views of Atlanta’s skyline and the Buckhead, Georgia, tree canopy.
The lucky owner now also has a gym, massage room, and an onyx primary bathroom and balcony as well as expansive, shoe-lined closets.
Elton John’s 36th-floor condo has been refurbished many times over the years.
The floors at the time of sale were blonde hardwood and the condo has lots of open wall space to display the art-lover’s collection.
The ‘Candle in the Wind’ singer purchased a 2,500-square-foot duplex at the Park Place on Peachtree in 1992.
Not content with that space, he bought six five more apartments from the 250 in the building over the decades.
It’s one of the most expensive condo sales in Georgia’s capital, according to the local multiple listings service.
The most expensive was a condo at the St. Regis Atlanta.
It sold for $14 million in 2019.
John primarily lives in England but needed a home in the US while touring.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
