Ten Peachtree Place, Postmodern office building in Midtown Atlanta, United States
Ten Peachtree Place is a class A office high-rise in Midtown Atlanta, designed by Michael Graves and completed in 1989. Its exterior is clad in red granite that contrasts with dark windows, and a 30-foot (9.1 m) arch marks the entrance. The building serves as the headquarters of Southern Company Gas.
Designed by Michael Graves, Ten Peachtree Place opened in 1989 as part of LJ Hooker's Gateway Atlanta project, but the company went bankrupt shortly after. Coca-Cola became an early major tenant, and the building was sometimes called the Coca-Cola Computer Center. A $30 million interior renovation followed in 2002; in 2012 Prudential bought it for $61 million, and AGL Resources took full occupancy in 2014.
The building's nickname, the Coca-Cola Computer Center, came from its early major tenant, the Coca-Cola Company. Its 30-foot arch and red granite cladding, set against dark windows, are the features visitors notice first. Southern Company Gas has occupied the building fully since 2014 and keeps its headquarters there.
Ten Peachtree Place stands in Midtown Atlanta, a short walk from the Midtown MARTA station and its north-south rail line. The 30-foot arch and red granite front face Peachtree Street, so the entrance is easy to pick out from the sidewalk. The building is a working corporate headquarters, so interior access is limited to staff and invited visitors.
The building underwent a major interior renovation in 2002 that completely modernized its office spaces and facilities. Southern Company Gas later became the primary occupant and established its headquarters here, making it a significant corporate hub.
