1100 Peachtree, Commercial skyscraper in Midtown Atlanta, United States.
1100 Peachtree is a 28-story, 428-foot office tower in Midtown Atlanta, completed in 1991. Its lower two-thirds is a rectangular shaft with alternating light beige stone columns and dark gray vertical window strips, crossed by many horizontal window bands. The building ends in a stepped, tiered crown of a narrower upper block and a smaller top section, both repeating the beige-and-dark-glass pattern.
Designed by Smallwood, Reynolds, Stewart, Stewart & Associates, the tower was completed in 1991, though the French Wikipedia gives 1990. AT&T Corporation long held a partial ownership stake and housed top executives in the building. Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton has been a tenant for 30 years and is now its largest single tenant; Manulife Financial owns the building.
1100 Peachtree belongs to a group of Atlanta towers from the late 1980s and early 1990s whose architects competed with ornate, dramatically lit "wedding-cake" tops. Its stepped crown is lit at night, so the upper tiers stand out on the Midtown skyline. The building was designed by Smallwood, Reynolds, Stewart, Stewart & Associates, Inc.
The building sits in Midtown's business district with good access via public transportation and pedestrian walkways. Keep in mind this is a private office building, so interior access is limited to those with business there.
The building became Atlanta's first high-rise to earn the EPA's Energy Star certification in 2000, reflecting its advanced energy efficiency systems. This achievement was notably rare for an office building of its size at that time.
