191 Peachtree Tower, High-rise building in Downtown Atlanta, Georgia.
191 Peachtree Tower is a fifty-story office tower in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. The exterior features Rosa Dante granite and gray tinted glass windows, while the interior houses office spaces, restaurants, and a club.
Proposed in July 1987 at 48 floors, the tower was built from 1990 and completed in 1990 as a 50-story skyscraper on the former site of the Majestic Hotel, an early 20th-century hotel. It won the BOMA Building of the Year award in 1991. In 2006 tenants King & Spalding and Wachovia left, and Cousins Properties bought the building and moved its headquarters there.
The illuminated double crown at the top became a recurring image during television broadcasts of the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, giving the building international recognition. This feature continues to shape the downtown skyline after dark and serves as a landmark for visitors.
The main entrance opens through a seven-story, 102-foot (31 m) atrium beside Peachtree Street in Downtown Atlanta. A 15-level underground garage holds between 1,275 and 1,386 cars, and 27 elevators serve the 50 floors. The building stands at the corner of Peachtree and Andrew Young International Boulevard, near the Peachtree Center MARTA station.
The entrance hall extends over a height of 31 meters and opens directly onto Peachtree Street with transparent walls. This space connects the street level to the elevators and feels almost like an open-air courtyard because of its dimension.
