Bob Trescott shows prospective tenant Quannaires Streeter a room at one of his Olde Town properties. 36 u 1736magazine.com PHOTO BY DAMON CLINE
WHAT’S OLDE IS NEW home [hom] noun a gathering place for family; a place or feeling of belonging. Helping you find your future! New investor building on pioneer’s downtown properties By Damon Cline On a recent Tuesday morning, Bob Trescott was showing prospective tenant Quannaires Streeter a couple of rooms available at his Olde Town properties on Telfair Street. Streeter, an instructor at Augusta University’s Department of Biobehavioral Nursing, said she was looking to leave her westside apartment complex for something more affordable and closer to work. “This area seems pretty nice,” she said, standing on the porch of 346 Telfair St., unbeknownst she was looking at the oldest home in Olde Town. After she leaves, Trescott remarks the twenty-something nurse is typical of his tenants: young, upwardly mobile professionals who want to be “in the city.” “I’ve got a 30-year-old female doctor, a 30-year-old female attorney, a 30-ish female engineer,” Trescott said. “To me, that says something about who wants to live down here. These are yuppie, professional people.” The front of Trescott’s business card lists him a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners. For most of his life, Trescott made a living as an urban redevelopment specialist in Texas, Florida and Maryland. His most recent position was with the Augusta Housing and Development Department. He left government work more than a year ago but he still blogs extensively on public policy through social media channels. Now his full-time job now is buying and managing property in Olde Town, which he sees as a section of Augusta’s future “midtown” district. The back side of his business card says “AMMO,” his acronym for Augusta Midtown Means Opportunity. The way the urban-planner-turned-landlord AG-0003090486-01 ©2018 Textron Specialized Vehicles Inc.
