Redeveloping the site of a former Georgia Power operations center, a new mixed-use high-rise development currently under construction along Atlanta’s BeltLine covers 102,193 square meters (1.1 million square feet.)

Located at 760 Ralph McGill Boulevard, the project is designed by Olson Kundig and led by developer New City Properties. It includes office space and street-level retail organized around a central public plaza. 

The project features two portals. The first portal frames views of downtown, symbolizing a look towards the future, while the second portal connects to the historic Fourth Ward Park. The main plaza will connect to the planned light rail station on the BeltLine, and the building will incorporate a bike path that connects to the BeltLine Bicycle Trail and inner-city bike trails beyond. 

Sustainable design features include stormwater management, floor plates that maximize daylighting, and a façade that preserves thermal comfort. The building is targeting LEED Gold certification.
