SunTrust Plaza, Postmodern skyscraper in Downtown Atlanta, Georgia.
SunTrust Plaza is a 60-story skyscraper reaching 265 meters on Peachtree Street, defined by geometric shapes and angular design. Glass cubes crown its summit, forming a distinctive top that stands out from other buildings nearby.
Architect John C. Portman Jr. designed this tower during the 1980s real estate boom in the city. Construction was completed in 1992 when it opened as One Peachtree Center.
The two-level lobby showcases art pieces and sculptures created by architect John Portman, reflecting how the city's design evolved. These works are visible as visitors move through the entrance space.
The building sits in the downtown business district with good access to public transportation. Walking around it is straightforward, and nearby streets connect to other attractions and services in the area.
Peregrine falcons have nested in the building's balcony planters since 1997, and people can watch them through live web cameras. This unusual wildlife presence makes it one of the few high-rises with active falcon breeding happening on its exterior.
