1180 Peachtree, commonly known as theSymphony Tower, is a 41-storyskyscraper located at 1180 Peachtree Street in theMidtown district ofAtlanta, Georgia,United States. Rising to a height of approximately 657 feet (200 m), the building includes office and retail space in its 624,996 sq ft (58,064 m2) of floor area as well as a 1,200 space parking deck.

Designed by architectural firmPickard Chilton ofConnecticut, 1180 Peachtree incorporates various environmental innovations that achieved the prestigiousU.S. Green Building Council'sLeadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold certification. This building is marked on the skyline by two sweeping glass fins extending upwards from the north and south walls. These fins are illuminated from inside at night for a dramatic skyline presence, giving what is considered to be a Gothic feel.[citation needed]
Kendall/Heaton Associates, Inc., Houston, TX served as the Architect of Record for 1180 Peachtree. Turner Construction was the construction manager for the project.[citation needed]
Over 60% of the tower's leasable space is occupied by Atlanta-based law firmKing & Spalding as its international headquarters. The firm was previously located in downtown's191 Peachtree Tower.[3]
The building was intended as part of theWoodruff Arts Center's proposedAtlanta Symphony Center, which had been designed by Spanish architectSantiago Calatrava and was planned for land adjacent to the structure along 14th Street. The $300 million Symphony Center could not begin construction until fundraising goals were met, but fundraising stalled at $114 million. The Atlanta Symphony cancelled the Calatrava project in 2009.[4]
