Cousins Properties The new show ‘High Rise’ is set at the Terminus condo and office complex in Buckhead.

Comcast likes Atlanta to the point that it’s started an entire on-demand network focused on the city and the people in it.

Real City TV/Atlanta, which starts next week is the first time the cable provider has built an entire lineup of reality programming — 25 shows — around a major city. Should the network prove successful, Comcast has plans to create other ones in other cities, said Larry Schweber, a Comcast spokesman.

“We’ve always had a real strong focus here on the local community, and we had had a very robust local on-demand content that was successful,” Schweber said. “The reality is a lot of people are still really enamored with reality shows.”

The lineup includes “Bodies of Art,” set in the Little Five Points neighborhood; “Hard Courts,” a feature on playing tennis at some of Atlanta’s most exclusive clubs; and “High Rise,” shot at the Terminus condo and office complex in Buckhead.

Steve Barnes, executive producer and one of the actors in “High Rise,” said he developed the idea for the series, broken into short, 5-to-7-minute pieces, while driving by the building each day on his way to work.

The scripted show features a mix of actors as well as residents of the Terminus building, which sits at the corner of Peachtree and Piedmont roads.

“I thought it was a good property to use,” Barnes, former morning show host on 99X and Dave FM, said. “I could have easily come here and made it some fictitious building, but I didn’t.”
