For our latest obsessive installment of 1072 West Peachtree\u2019s Crane Watch<\/a> this summer, we take to the skies over Midtown for fresh perspectives on a high-rise now visible from points across Atlanta.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As of this week, Rockefeller Group\u2019s 60-story 1072 West Peachtree is approaching the 50-story mark, according to onsite floor-counting and available project renderings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The mixed-use tower\u2019s visual impact is now on par with many of Midtown\u2019s most iconic and tallest buildings\u2014and it still has roughly 11 stories left to climb. It\u2019s risen about three stories in August to date.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rockefeller reps have declined to provide construction updates in recent months, other than to say 1072 West Peachtree is on pace to top out in the fourth quarter of this year\u2014and to start delivering before Atlanta\u2019s 2026 FIFA World Cup matches kick off in June.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Rockefeller officials, 1072 West Peachtree will ultimately stand 749 feet, making it Atlanta\u2019s fifth tallest high-rise, supplanting Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel for the No. 5 spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Rockefeller tower\u2014as designed by Atlanta-based architecture firm TVS, in collaboration with Brock Hudgins Architects\u2014will count more than 350 upscale apartments total. Some will have the highest residential views ever built in Atlanta.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rockefeller officials relayed in April that 1072 West Peachtree had finished its office and retail floors, en route to becoming both the tallest residential and mixed-use building in Atlanta.\u00a0<\/p>\n

No taller skyrise has been built in the city since 1992.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Below the apartments, 224,000 square feet of Class A office space will occupy floors 11 to 18. Spanning a full acre, the tower\u2019s 10th-floor amenity deck will include collaborative and lounge seating areas and a lawn for games, events, and other gatherings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rockefeller\u2019s plans for the street-level retail component include multiple options for dining throughout the day. Those spaces will see coffee, casual grab-and-go, and sit-down restaurant additions to the block, per developers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
