Bernard “Bernie” Marcus, co-founder of Home Depot, is parting with his luxurious three-bedroom condo in Atlanta, now on the market for $5 million. This expansive 5,700-square-foot residence is perched on the 37th floor of a Park Avenue condo tower in the prestigious North Buckhead neighborhood, offering breathtaking views of downtown Atlanta and the surrounding mountains from nearly every room.

In a heartfelt statement, the 95-year-old Marcus shared, “Atlanta holds a special place in my heart. This city will always be part of me, and my commitment to its growth, well-being, and success will continue on.” Originally from Newark, New Jersey, Marcus has long considered Atlanta his home, where he co-founded Home Depot in 1978 with Ken Langone and Arthur Blank. The first store opened in the city in 1979, and Marcus served as CEO until 1997, continuing as chairman until his retirement in 2002.

Beyond his business accomplishments, Marcus is also recognized for his extensive philanthropic efforts through the Marcus Foundation, which has contributed over $1 billion to various Atlanta causes and institutions.

Constructed in 1999, the Park Avenue condo features a grand salon complete with a card-playing area, a circular formal dining room, and a study with soaring 12-foot ceilings. Additional highlights include an executive office, a guest suite, and accommodations for live-in staff. Rounded terraces provide unobstructed views of iconic landmarks like Stone Mountain and Kennesaw Mountain.

The listing is being handled by Nicholas Brown of Compass, marking a significant opportunity for potential buyers looking for a luxurious lifestyle in one of Atlanta's most desirable locations.
