Atlanta Plaza, Skyscraper in Downtown Atlanta, US
Atlanta Plaza is a 425 ft (130 m) skyscraper completed in 1986 with 34 floors, designed by Smallwood, Reynolds, Stewart, Stewart & Associates. It is tied with 1100 Peachtree as Atlanta's 25th tallest building. A second tower with ten additional floors and a 400-room hotel were planned for the site but never built.
The building was completed in 1986 during a period when Atlanta transformed its skyline with numerous new high-rises. This construction phase made the city a modern economic center for Georgia.
The tower's name changed to Salesforce Atlanta Plaza in 2019 after Salesforce.com expanded its offices there and took naming rights. Its tenants have included RentGroup, Rubicon Technologies, SAS Institute, Ademco, Soltech, iFOLIO and Carat, a mix of software, marketing and technology firms typical of the city's office market.
The tower stands at 33.8466, -84.3571 in downtown Atlanta, near the intersection of Peachtree Street and Piedmont Avenue. Visitors arriving by car find paid garages in the surrounding blocks; MARTA rail stations are within walking distance. The entrance and lobby were remodeled in 2018, and the building is an office tower, so interior access is limited to tenants and their guests.
Atlanta Plaza was built as a joint venture by Vantage Properties of Dallas and Travelers Insurance, and construction began in March 1984. The site was originally meant to hold a second tower with the same profile but ten more floors, plus a 400-room hotel; neither was ever built.
