Symphony Tower!
1180 Peachtree marks the reemergence of Atlanta's skyscraper tradition. The project is comprised of over 1,100,000 square feet of office, retail and parking for 1,200 cars, rising forty-one floors to a height of over 645 feet ? the equivalent of a fifty story high rise. It will serve as the international headquarters for one of the top 50 law firms in the world, King & Spalding.
Sited at the corner of 14th and Peachtree, the project affirms midtown Atlanta as the premier location in one of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States. 1180 Peachtree will unite professional, business and retail services with the arts. The project is designed to enhance the vital street life of midtown Atlanta. Restaurants, cafés and retail shops will bring energy to the street. 1180 Peachtree is sited adjacent to the new home of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and its associated performance hall, allée and gardens. Nearly 50% of the site area has been dedicated to public open space. Landscaped streets, gardens and courts will create a beautiful public realm. 1180 Peachtree will be the most advanced skyscraper in a generation including such sustainable design strategies as a high performance glass enclosure with projected vertical mullions to mitigate solar gain, the incorporation of a horizontal lightshelf, natural light photometric sensors to reduce perimeter artificial lighting, highly efficient HVAC systems, the incorporation of recycled materials and the use of certified woods.
