  • Atlanta Market Overview and Trends Analysis
    ATLANTA MARKET OVERVIEW AND TRENDS ANALYSIS SEPTEMBER 2017 BUCKHEAD ECONOMIC DRIVERS With more than 21.7 million square feet of office space (16.8 million SF of which is class A), the Buckhead office market is Atlanta’s third largest business district (behind Perimeter and Downtown/Midtown), commanding the highest rents of all major metro CBDs in greater Atlanta, with an average quoted office rent of $33.18 PSF overall, and as high as $54 PSF in the premier office towers. The northernmost section of Buckhead (roughly the Peachtree Road corridor north of Piedmont Road and south of Peachtree Dunwoody Road), is considered Atlanta’s financial corridor, where most money management firms house their regional southeast offices. At the heart of northern Buckhead around the intersections of Lenox, Peachtree and Piedmont Roads, is Atlanta’s premier shopping district, with 1 more than 1,500 retail units - where shoppers spend more than $2.6 billion a year. • In addition, Buckhead contains the highest concentration of upscale boutiques in the United States. The majority are located at Lenox Square (caption 1) and Phipps Plaza (caption 2), sister regional malls located diagonally across from each other at the intersection of Peachtree and Lenox Roads. The malls are home to designer boutiques, mainstream national retailers, as well as six major department stores. • In 2014, the ‘Buckhead Atlanta’ (caption 3) mixed-use development, located in central Buckhead, delivered an additional 300,000 square feet of retail and restaurants and 100,000 square feet of boutique offices. Oliver McMillan has planned an additional office tower (The Office at Buckhead Atlanta), which will add 315,000 SF to the greater Buckhead Atlanta development.

  • ABBC 2016 Annual Report
    IMPACT FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE ANNUAL REPORT 2016 ATLANTA BETTER BUILDINGS CHALLENGE One of my proudest accomplishments as Mayor of Atlanta is the tremendous success achieved through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge (ABBC). The Office of Resilience has partnered with businesses and nonprofit organizations to implement a comprehensive, voluntary program to increase energy and water efficiency in our building stock. The Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge invites participating building owners to commit to a 20 percent reduction in energy and water use by year 2020. With more than 114 million square feet of building space and more than 600 buildings pledged, Atlanta has earned its spot as a leader on the efficiency scoreboard. Since 2011, this successful public-private partnership between the City of Atlanta, Central Atlanta Progress, Livable Buckhead, Midtown Alliance and Southface has positioned Atlanta as a national leader in energy and water efficiency. We surpassed our water reduction goal five years ahead of schedule, and we’re quickly closing the gap on our energy goal, having already reduced our portfolio’s energy consumption by 17 percent. Through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge, participants are saving money on bills now, while helping to ensure a more resilient future for all Atlantans. This program plays a pivotal role in furthering Atlanta as a top-tier city for sustainability. We hope to inspire other cities by our achievements and lead by example as we continue to make big strides in reducing our energy and water usage. Thanks to our participants in the Challenge. Sincerely, Mayor Kasim Reed INTRODUCTION | 03 IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR BUILDINGS 20 PERCENT BY 2020 The goal of the Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Resource conservation efforts not only support the City’s Challenge is to improve the efficiency of commercial, sustainability efforts and lead to a cleaner and healthier institutional, industrial, and multifamily buildings by 20% or place to live and work, but the dollar savings achieved more by 2020.

In Atlanta’s case, the Phoenix represents the city’s rise following the Civil War; it adorns the City’s seal along with the motto “Resurgens,” which means “rising again.” The Phoenix is an apt symbol for the city, which has a long and proud history of self-reinvention – a place where entire industries have been reimagined and where Dr. King’s hopes have been realized in ways few other American cities can boast of. Atlanta is the capital and most populous city in the State of The Atlanta Georgia; it is the cultural and economic center of the Atlanta metropolitan statistical area (MSA), the ninth largest MSA in MSA is home the United States.1 The Atlanta MSA is home to almost 5.5 to almost 5.5 2 million people and 150,000 businesses.
