Salesforce Tower Atlanta is a 425 ft (130m) tall skyscraper in Atlanta, Georgia. It was completed in 1986 and has 34 floors. Smallwood, Reynolds, Stewart, Stewart & Associates, Inc. designed the building, which is tied with 1100 Peachtree as the 25th tallest building in Atlanta. A second tower with the same profile, but boasting ten additional floors, and a four-hundred-room hotel were originally planned for the surrounding site but never built.[3]

History

[edit]

Construction began in March 1984.[4] The building was constructed as a joint venture by Vantage Properties of Dallas and Travelers Insurance.[5] In 1988, Sumitomo Life Realty acquired the building.[6] In 1999, the building was purchased from Sumitomo Life Realty by a public pension fund.[7]

In August 2017, Banyan Street Capital, partnered with architectural firm Perkins+Will, revealed their plans to improve the building. The project included entry and lobby remodel, the addition of new amenities and outdoor spaces, corridors upgrade, and the expansion of conference facilities.[8][9] The renovation was completed in October 2018.[1]

In October 2018, Salesforce.com announced plans to expand their office in the tower and to rename the building to include the company's name.[10][11] In March 2019, Atlanta Business Chronicle reported that the office was expanded and the tower was renamed as Salesforce Atlanta Plaza.[12]

Tenants

[edit]

The office occupants include RentGroup, Rubicon Technologies, SAS Institute, Ademco, Soltech, iFOLIO, and Carat.[13][14]
