Modern Holdings Inc. has started a magazine that bills itself as a “user’s guide” to living in urban Atlanta.

The quarterly magazine is called LoftLife, New York-based private equity firm Modern Holdings said.

“We are launching during a pivotal time-period when Atlanta’s downtown population is rapidly growing,” said Joe Resudek, publisher. “The desire for open space, good design, and a cultural community coupled with the presence of endless traffic, an increasing environmental conscience, as well as the anonymity and seclusion of the suburbs are the main reasons people are opting for a lifestyle of loft living.”

In the first issue, a cover story explores the history and transformation of The Stacks at Fulton Cotton Mill from its inception to its most recent adaptation as a loft building, and includes images from the home of Marae Simone, an Atlanta-based “condo stylist,” who bought a loft in the historic building because of its industrial allure.
