CBRE on Wednesday revealed the “future” of Tower Square by way of a new rendering, shown above. Tower Square is the redevelopment of the 1.8 million-square-foot, mixed-use tower formerly anchored by AT&T.
“As the team gears up to kick off Phase II of the multimillion-dollar capital improvement project, the rendering shows how renovations to the Annex and upgrades to the 28,000-square-foot Green will interact to create a collaborative, open-air environment,” a Tower Square spokesperson told What Now Atlanta in an email.
The Annex, which previously served as an interior mall, is being reoriented so the storefronts face and interact with West Peachtree Street. The wifi-enabled Green, which features patio and covered seating, comes equipped with a screen spanning more than 2,000 square feet (61 feet wide X 34 feet tall). Last month, the team wrapped the first phase of renovations, which included lobby upgrades, exterior signage and the addition of the Green — now the “largest” private greenspace in Midtown. Phase II will begin this year.
“As the largest block of available Class-A space in the Southeast, CBRE’s leasing team is readying Tower Square for the inevitable return to office,” the spokesperson said.

Phase 2 in Atlanta means never or at best 20 years later…..
Agreed. On the call they were stumbling around a bit about whether the parking podium would be built all at once or in phases to coincide with the towers. That part will be interesting.
Phase two will NEVER happen. If all of it isn’t built at the same time it ain’t happening. Heard it over and over again from these developers
So glad that we are making more progress over paving over anything green left in midtown and removing whatever character might be left. But as has been the case for the last 40+ years that I have lived here, as long as the developers make a tidy profit, quality of life doesn’t matter. Let’s keeping adding even more development so that the next time there is a problem on one of the highways and everybody takes to the surface streets, it will take an act of God or the National Guard or both to sort out the mess. Just sayin’.
In general I agree about the paving over anything green, however it’s not the case here. It’s two restaurants and a boarded up building in between them. Nothing green about any of it.
Well, nothing green except two giant old trees out front, a few smaller mature trees out back and several more down the block.
Gotta agree.
Sorry to see this pocket of human-scale homes/patios go. They give the city a little bit of “visual breathing room” as well as contributing to the vibrancy of the neighborhood.
And I totally forgot about the in-town debacle that our melted highway caused– good grief, seems so long ago…
This building looks great. I love the design and that it does not look like everything else. I just hope they can incorporate some patio space for the two restaurants. That is the best part of the experience from what is there now.
I don’t get what everyone likes about the building design. To me it looks like Eastern European retro future.
