1180 Peachtree, Commercial skyscraper in Midtown Atlanta, United States.
1180 Peachtree, known as Symphony Tower, is a 41-story skyscraper at 1180 Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta. It rises about 657 feet (200 m) and contains 624,996 sq ft (58,064 m2) of office and retail space plus a 1,200-space parking deck. Two glass fins extend upward from the north and south walls, lit from inside at night.
The tower opened in 2006 as one of the first high-rises in the southeastern United States to achieve LEED Gold certification for environmental performance. This recognition reflected a growing regional commitment to sustainable building practices.
The tower takes its nickname, Symphony Tower, from the Atlanta Symphony Center that Santiago Calatrava designed for the adjacent 14th Street site. Fundraising for the $300 million hall stalled at $114 million, and the orchestra cancelled the project in 2009. The building itself appears in episode 11 of the 2009 Channel 4 series Vertical City.
1180 Peachtree stands at 1180 Peachtree Street in Midtown, with the Woodruff Arts Center and the planned Symphony Center site along 14th Street next door. The tower holds a 1,200-space parking deck, and over 60% of its leasable space is taken by the law firm King & Spalding, so lobby access is oriented to tenants and their guests.
The building operates a water collection system that gathers rainwater and condensation from its mechanical systems for landscape irrigation. This approach significantly reduces reliance on the city's water supply for outdoor maintenance.
