Firm awarded the design of yet another high-rise tower for Midtown’s evolving innovation hub.
ATLANTA (May 14, 2019) — John Portman & Associates is pleased to announce the design for a new Midtown Atlanta office tower. Developed by Portman Holdings, LLC., 712 West Peachtree is an office tower in Midtown Atlanta, aiming to serve the emergent technology corridor amidst: NCR's headquarters, Georgia Tech's Tech Square, Coda, Anthem Technology Center, and Norfolk Sothern's Headquarters.

The building will offer stunning views of Midtown and Downtown Atlanta from its 13 office floors situated above an 8-story parking deck. The vertical integration of programmatic elements allows the building to maximize a compact site area within the urban context. The gross project area is 578,851.
