The Spire replaced the Atlanta Cabana Motel, a mid-century lodging on the site before demolition. Its 393 apartments (392 in French sources) sit above 28 floors, and the roof reaches 104 metres before the spire tops out at 138 metres. The name refers to the pointed crown that lifts the tower's profile above Peachtree Street.
The building sits on Peachtree Street with easy access to a transit station and numerous restaurants and shops within a short walk. The surrounding neighborhood offers everything visitors and residents need for a convenient urban experience.
The tower shares its height ranking with the Equitable Building, both standing at roughly the same elevation in Atlanta's skyline. This uncommon similarity makes both structures noteworthy among the city's tallest buildings.
