  • 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.

  • 1 REMARKS by GEORGIA TECH PRESIDENT G. WAYNE CLOUGH Opening of Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center September 4, 2003 Thank
    REMARKS BY GEORGIA TECH PRESIDENT G. WAYNE CLOUGH Opening of Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center September 4, 2003 Thank you, Susan (Hill). This is a very exciting day for us, as we mark the official opening of the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center. After the Downtown Connector was built, separating Georgia Tech from Midtown Atlanta, the property where we are today deteriorated rapidly, and for many years it remained an eyesore of vacant lots and abandoned buildings. Then Georgia Tech made a strategic decision to purchase the land, and in conjunction with area businesses and the Midtown Alliance neighborhood organization, we developed a plan for its use. Even the city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia eventually became participants, especially in the ongoing effort to improve the Fifth Street Bridge, which, when it is completed, will transform this back door to the front door of Georgia Tech’s campus. Over the past three years, more than $300 million has been poured into the construction of a complex of buildings totaling more than 2.5 million square feet and lining either side of Fifth Street between the Connector and the Biltmore. Technology Square gathers Georgia Tech’s economic development resources in a place where our students, faculty, and staff can be incorporated into and contribute to the city’s economic heartbeat and help to drive the development of a signature technology corridor for Atlanta and Georgia. Technology Square also includes wide, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and a number of retail outlets, anchored by Barnes & Noble @ Georgia Tech to serve our students, faculty, and staff and Midtown workers and residents alike.

  • 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.

  • Greenprint Midtown SUSTAINABILITY ACTION PLAN 2012
    greenprint midtown SUSTAINABILITY ACTION PLAN 2012 MIDTOWN ALLIANCE SOUTHFACE ENERGY INSTITUTE RENAISSANCE PLANNING GROUP SUSTAINABLE ATLANTA PERKINS+WILL GREENPRINT MIDTOWN Sustainability Plan 2012 2 1. Introduction executive summary Midtown Atlanta is perfectly positioned to be a leader in sustainabil- ity due to its location, its infrastructure, and its people. The purpose of Greenprint Midtown, is to spur actions that further enhance Midtown’s development as one of the nation’s most livable, innovative, economi- cally successful, and sustainable communities. This plan adds a “green lens” to Midtown Alliance’s existing programs and identifies new oppor- tunities to increase Midtown’s sustainability. The report examines five impact areas – energy, water, open space, transportation, and waste – focusing primarily on the 118 blocks that make up the core of Midtown. A 6-month long planning process captured input and direction from hundreds of residents, restaura- teurs, retailers, employers, employees, property owners and subject area experts. This report details recommended high priority as well as longer-term actions, projects and programs that will make Mid- town an even more appealing and sustainable place, building on the Midtown Alliance’s past success in developing and implementing long-range community-based plans. Successful implementation will require the participation of all members of the community; however, Midtown Alliance and its leader- ship will play a unique and essential role to bring disparate entities and efforts together to galvanize the community around a collective vision and facilitate implementation. LEADING FROM A POSITION OF STRENGTH Located in the heart of the city, Midtown is a high-density, mixed-use, walkable community.
