Law Firm Signs Lease at Midtown Skyscraper
Law Firm Signs Lease at Midtown Skyscraper
A leading law firm has signed a lease at the tallest skyscraper in the Southeastern U.S.
CP Group has announced that the U.S. portion of Eversheds Sutherland will occupy more than 94,000 square feet of office space at Bank of America Plaza, relocating its Atlanta office to the 55-story skyscraper.
John Shlesinger of CBRE represented the tenant, and Jeff Keppen and Nicole Goldsmith of CBRE – the building’s exclusive leasing agents – represented the landlord.
“The firm’s upcoming move to the Bank of America Plaza building is an exciting development for our firm,” Eversheds Sutherland (US) Managing Parnter Mark D. Wasserman said in a statement. “Our foremost priority is to meet the needs of our clients and people by providing a modern workspace that fosters collaboration, flexibility and innovation. The state-of-the-art fitness club, expansive food hall, and modern conference center are just a few of the amenities that will enhance the overall experience.”
After this deal, total leasing activity at the tower over the past six months has reached 170,000 square feet, including four new tenants, one renewal and two expansions, according to the announcement.
Bank of America Plaza is the tallest building in the Southeastern U.S. and the 23rd tallest in the nation. CP Group acquired it in 2022 and began a $50 million capital improvements program in 2023.
The company worked with architecture firm Gensler and Holder Construction to redesign the 20,000-square-foot lobby. Renovations also included the addition of a café called Spire, as well as 100,000 square feet of move-in-ready spec suites of varying sizes and configurations. CP Group is also finalizing plans to develop a high-end restaurant onsite and to renovate the tower’s top floor.
Other amenities at Bank of America Plaza include a renovated 10,000-square-foot conference center space, a 17,000-square-foot fitness club, a food hall, an onsite bank branch and a salon.

Centennial Yards Celebrates Topping Out of Hotel
Centennial Yards Celebrates Topping Out of Hotel
The owners and developers of Centennial Yards recently marked a milestone with the topping out of the development’s first hotel.
Hotel Phoenix is expected to open in summer 2025. It is located at 70 Centennial Olympic Park Drive NW, across from the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The location also has historic ties to the city, being situated at the Western & Atlantic Railroad terminus, which was significant to the city’s beginnings and development.
The hotel will feature 292 guest rooms, including 15 suites and penthouses, featuring panoramic city views from expansive windows and private balconies. There will be a lobby coffee bar, a full-service all-day restaurant and bar, and a rooftop restaurant with a private elevator entrance.
Hotel Phoenix will also have about 15,000 square feet of flexible event space, including an 8,000-square-foot ballroom and an outdoor event lawn. Guests can also expect a fitness center and a resort-style pool with private cabanas.
The design will draw inspiration from Atlanta’s railroad legacy and industrial roots, with materials like polished metals, reclaimed wood and stone finishes and lines in the architecture that are reminiscent of railway tracks.
“Centennial Yards is proud to be an important part of revitalizing Downtown Atlanta while honoring its rich history,” Centennial Yards President Brian McGowan said in a statement. “Hotel Phoenix is located on a site with deep historical meaning, inspired by the mythical creature of the same name. Just as Atlanta once rose from the ashes of a fire, symbolizing renewal and growth, Centennial Yards is also emerging from its past. After many years of being underused, we look forward to contributing to the lively Atlanta that everyone in this city deserves.”
Centennial Yards is an approximately $5 billion, 50-acre mixed-use development taking shape in downtown Atlanta.
Hotel Phoenix and the apartment tower The Mitchell both started construction in November 2022. The Mitchell held its topping-out in August 2024, with completion expected by summer 2025. It also recently signed its first restaurant lease with Khao Thai Eatery, which will offer Thai tapas and cocktails by 26 Thai.
Centennial Yards also began work earlier this year on its 8-acre entertainment district, which will feature 480,000 square feet of entertainment, retail and dining space. A significant feature of this district will be Cosm, an immersive entertainment venue, and a fan gathering plaza expected to attract visitors during the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Atlanta.

Biophilic Design: Intown Home Embraces Natural Elements
Biophilic Design: Intown Home Embraces Natural Elements
In a world increasingly disconnected from nature, biophilic design is making waves in architecture and interior design by integrating natural elements into living spaces. Rooted in the idea of connecting people with the outdoors, this design philosophy incorporates components like natural light, organic materials, water features, and earthy color palettes. These principles not only create aesthetically pleasing spaces but also foster a sense of well-being. As homeowners seek ways to harmonize their living environments with nature, biophilic design continues to gain traction, offering a balance of beauty and sustainability.
Spanning three finished levels, this five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home is a shining example of how biophilic design and modern luxury can coexist. The main living area highlights 20-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the room with natural light, creating a connection between the indoors and the lush greenery of the expansive backyard. A stone fireplace anchors the space, bringing a grounding, natural element to the open design. Neutral paint tones and newly refinished hardwood floors run throughout, adding a raw aspect that enhances the space’s organic aesthetic.
A luxurious screened-in porch brings the outdoors in, creating a tranquil spot to enjoy the views in any season. On the terrace level, a great room with a full wet bar, wine cellar, and office/flex space provides an ideal area for entertaining or quiet work.
Step outside, and the connection to nature becomes even more apparent. The expansive walk-out backyard features a brand-new pool with a tanning ledge, an outdoor kitchen equipped with a grill and pizza oven, and a fire pit area for cozy gatherings. A versatile sports court provides the perfect setting for pickleball or basketball, blending leisure with outdoor living.
Located in Morningside, this property offers a rare combination of privacy and accessibility. With walkability to the Northeast Atlanta Beltline, Ansley Golf Club, Piedmont Park, and the Botanical Gardens it offers proximity to some of Atlanta’s best outdoor and cultural experiences. This home is a testament to the art of living in harmony with nature, offering a space that is both inviting and inspiring.
Listed by Erin Yabroudy with Harry Norman, REALTORS®, this home is located at 443 Wimbledon Road NE Atlanta, GA 30324.

What’s up with that large construction site in Oakhurst Village?

What’s up with that large construction site in Oakhurst Village?

Anyone who’s visited the happening little Decatur district that is Oakhurst Village lately may have done a double-take at a construction site that’s seemingly half the size of the commercial district itself.
No, it’s not a mixed-use complex on a residential street or an expansion of the Oakhurst Village shopping center—home to Sceptre Brewing Arts, FitWit, and Oakhurst Market—next door.
It’s actually three separate projects happening simultaneously, all of them bringing rather large single-family homes.
Construction on the three contiguous Oakhurst Village sites this week, as seen looking toward Sceptre Brewing Arts next door. Josh Green/Urbanize Atlanta
Until recently, the deep lots in question—614, 618, and 622 East Lake Drive—were home to three modest, older houses in a variety of architectural styles.
A couple of years ago, Parkland Communities had put together plans to consolidate the lots and build a node of 34 townhomes (with two or three bedrooms above one-car garages). Those plans were abandoned after being rejected by Decatur city planners several times.
What’s moving forward now is also purely residential, but would add far fewer units (and people) to the increasingly tony street.

Starting from the west, farthest from the shopping center, the home projects are by Robert Koch Designs, Wesley Knapp of Keller Knapp Realty (owner), and next to Sceptre brewery, longtime Oakhurst builder Arlene Dean Quality Homes and designer Rawlings Design, according to Koch.
Koch recently shared preliminary plans for what his company is planning to build at 614 East Lake Drive: a four-bedroom, four and ½ bathroom traditional-style house with an office in 3,180 square feet.
Features will include a “large wraparound porch fashioned to give the initial feel of a Craftsman four-square,” Koch noted. “The project could have been much, much bigger, but the client wanted their home to stay on the more reasonable side.”

The home in the middle (618 East Lake Drive) was most recently torn down.
Meanwhile, on the easternmost lot within three easy stumbles of Sceptre, Rawlings was more guarded with what’s in store, citing homeowner privacy.
“I will say that I have seven other projects on that block between the village and 3rd Avenue that range in style between very modern and very traditional,” Rawlings noted via email. “It won’t be as modern or traditional as the others.”

Construction is clearly ramping up on the people-friendly makeover of a Midtown street that will help create a safer crosstown route and connections to other bike and pedestrian infrastructure projects.
The 5th Street Complete Street will span about ½ mile from Williams Street near the Connector in Tech Square to Myrtle Street in Midtown’s residential Garden District.
Before hitting snags, the $3-million project was once expected to break ground in 2022 and open last year.
This week, construction crews left no doubt the 5th Street makeover has reached blocks nearest to Georgia Tech. Street resurfacing is underway, cycle track lanes are taking shape, and ADA pavers, a raised pedestrian walkway, and a bus stop ramp are being installed.

According to Midtown Alliance, 5th Street is already one of Atlanta’s most popular multimodal thoroughfares. Planned upgrades call for infill street trees to protect bike lanes, upgraded ADA ramps and crosswalks, better lighting, a new traffic signal at Williams Street, and a full repaving and re-striping of the street.
Added bonus: The 5th Street project will cross both the Juniper Street (southbound) and Piedmont Avenue (northbound) Complete Street projects in the pipeline in other parts of Midtown, creating a much broader network of multimodal connectivity in the district.
The 5th Street upgrades will also be at the doorstep of Tech Square’s third phase, a mixed-use high-rise that’s climbing between Spring and West Peachtree streets now.
No work on 5th Street is expected to take place over a Christmas break next week, per Midtown Alliance.

Painted bike lanes and other work along 5th Street began earlier this year as part of the infrastructure project. Midtown Alliance has estimated the project will take 16 months to complete, meaning it should be fully wrapped by next summer.
Midtown Alliance awarded the project’s construction contract to low-bidder Hasbun Construction in November last year.
Funding for the project came from a Georgia Transportation Infrastructure Bank/SRTA state grant, City of Atlanta TSPLOST 1.0 coffers, and Midtown Improvement District funds.

Images: Delayed Midtown street makeover officially happening

Construction is clearly ramping up on the people-friendly makeover of a Midtown street that will help create a safer crosstown route and connections to other bike and pedestrian infrastructure projects.
The 5th Street Complete Street will span about ½ mile from Williams Street near the Connector in Tech Square to Myrtle Street in Midtown’s residential Garden District.
Before hitting snags, the $3-million project was once expected to break ground in 2022 and open last year.
This week, construction crews left no doubt the 5th Street makeover has reached blocks nearest to Georgia Tech. Street resurfacing is underway, cycle track lanes are taking shape, and ADA pavers, a raised pedestrian walkway, and a bus stop ramp are being installed.

According to Midtown Alliance, 5th Street is already one of Atlanta’s most popular multimodal thoroughfares. Planned upgrades call for infill street trees to protect bike lanes, upgraded ADA ramps and crosswalks, better lighting, a new traffic signal at Williams Street, and a full repaving and re-striping of the street.
Added bonus: The 5th Street project will cross both the Juniper Street (southbound) and Piedmont Avenue (northbound) Complete Street projects in the pipeline in other parts of Midtown, creating a much broader network of multimodal connectivity in the district.
The 5th Street upgrades will also be at the doorstep of Tech Square’s third phase, a mixed-use high-rise that’s climbing between Spring and West Peachtree streets now.
No work on 5th Street is expected to take place over a Christmas break next week, per Midtown Alliance.

Painted bike lanes and other work along 5th Street began earlier this year as part of the infrastructure project. Midtown Alliance has estimated the project will take 16 months to complete, meaning it should be fully wrapped by next summer.
Midtown Alliance awarded the project’s construction contract to low-bidder Hasbun Construction in November last year.
Funding for the project came from a Georgia Transportation Infrastructure Bank/SRTA state grant, City of Atlanta TSPLOST 1.0 coffers, and Midtown Improvement District funds.
