Rockefeller Group reps send word today their 1072 West Peachtree project is scheduled to hoist its final beam and officially top out (save decorative flourishes planned for the building\u2019s crown) the morning of Nov. 7.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The topping-out ceremony will be hosted by Rockefeller, the property\u2019s ownership group, and Turner Construction, the general contractor who\u2019s been building the glassy high-rise since its official groundbreaking in July 2023. (Two media viewing options for the beam-raising ceremony are being offered, from the ground and the top floor, and we\u2019ve filed for a slot on the latter.)\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n The relatively slim, mixed-use skyrise has ascended rapidly since the spring<\/a> and now clearly stands out<\/a> at points from English Avenue to Blandtown, Virginia-Highland to Centennial Olympic Park, and many places between.\u00a0The project climbed nearly three dozen stories since late March, en route to its top level with glass panels and fins, per renderings.\u00a0<\/p>\n Rockefeller reps have told Urbanize Atlanta the 1072 West Peachtree project remains on pace to start delivering before Atlanta\u2019s 2026 FIFA World Cup matches kick off in June.\u00a0<\/p>\n 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 It will be both the tallest residential and mixed-use building in Atlanta.\u00a0No taller skyrise has been built in the city since 1992.\u00a0<\/p>\n \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, Rockefeller officials have said.\u00a0Some of those units will have the highest residential views ever built in Atlanta.\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\u00a0street-level retail<\/a>\u00a0component 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 In the gallery above, find the most updated renderings for 1072 West Peachtree, depicting how many aspects of the standout Midtown building are slated to look and function.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n …<\/p>\n Follow us on social media:\u00a0<\/p>\n Twitter<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\/and now:\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0Midtown news, discussion<\/a>\u00a0(Urbanize Atlanta)\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/a>
