More than four years have passed since plans for Atlanta\u2019s tallest building in three decades were initially unveiled<\/a>. Now, with its opening on the near horizon, architects are getting more specific than ever about what the Alina skyscraper will offer.<\/p>\n

Officials with TVS\u2014an architecture firm founded in Atlanta in 1968, with a portfolio that includes the Omni Coliseum, Georgia Dome, Midtown\u2019s Promenade<\/a> tower, Georgia Aquarium, and Sandy Springs\u2019 King and Queen buildings, among other landmarks\u2014say the Alina building (formerly 1072 West Peachtree) is aiming to create connected and welcoming spaces for Midtown visitors, workers, and residents. [CLARIFICATION: 5:40 p.m., March 18: Project reps send word that “the building itself is still named 1072 West Peachtree, while Alina refers specifically to the residential portion of the property.”]\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 60-story tower will count room for hundreds of new Midtowners in 357 apartments, ranging from studios up to three-bedroom options in a unique pinwheel floorplan layout. According to architects, most floors will be limited to just eight units total.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That design tactic is meant to ensure each luxury rental will have at least two \u201ccardinal views,\u201d or vantage points to the north, south, east, and west, according to TVS.<\/p>\n

This being Atlanta, the 749-feet-tall building\u2019s mixed-use status (expect 6,300 square feet of street-level retail and 224,000 square feet of Class-A office space) will contribute to big parking needs as well. Plans call for enough space on site for 750 vehicles, as designers specified in a recent update.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The goal with Alina\u2019s form and materials was to balance \u201cvertical expression with contextual sensitivity,\u201d per TVS reps. That means the building\u2019s stone-clad podium, where retail and offices will be placed, is meant to anchor it among the hard surfaces of surrounding streets. Above that, the tower\u2019s slender glass body is lighter as it climbs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alina is striving to be one of Midtown\u2019s most amenitized residential and office mashups. As such, according to TVS, the \u201cSky Garden\u201d section will qualify as Midtown\u2019s largest amenity deck. It was designed to offer panoramic views of Atlanta and a leafy, landscaped environment where building inhabitants can find both community and wellness, per TVS.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have created a new destination that contributes meaningfully to Atlanta\u2019s skyline while enhancing the experience of living and working in Midtown,\u201d said Janet Simpson, TVS president and CEO, in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the tower\u2019s developer, New York City-based Rockefeller Group, leasing at Alina will begin sometime this spring, and some units will qualify as lofts and penthouses. Bozzuto, an experience-focused residential real estate firm, has been hired to handle leasing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rent prices haven\u2019t been specified.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alina\u2019s standard apartments will count ceilings up to 10 feet high and \u201ccondominium-quality finishes\u201d that include wine fridges, custom cabinetry, keyless entry, and Kohler fixtures in bathrooms, among other facets. Penthouses, meanwhile, will see luxury perks such as Viking appliances, dry bars for entertaining, backlit vanity mirrors, and large walk-in closets, as Rockefeller officials announced last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Beyond architecture design, TVS handled interior design and general planning for the project.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The development team also includes a long list of partner companies: Brock Hudgins Architects (residential architecture); SITE Solutions (landscape); Walter P. Moore (structural engineering); Turner Construction Company (general contractor); \u00a0Eberly & Associates (civil engineer); Salas O\u2019Brien (lighting plus mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering); WorkingBuildings (sustainability consultant); and Persohn\/Hahn Associates Inc. (vertical transportation).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rockefeller\u00a0bought the former 1.14-acre U.S. Postal Service facility site for $25 million in 2020 and broke ground on the skyscraper in July 2023. The project officially topped out in November.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once finished, Alina will mark Atlanta\u2019s fifth tallest high-rise, supplanting Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel for the No. 5 spot.\u00a0No taller skyrise has been built in the city since 1992.\u00a0<\/p>\n
