Promenade (formerly Promenade II)[1] is a 691 feet (211 m) tallskyscraper inMidtown Atlanta. It has 40 stories ofoffice space and itsconstruction was completed in 1990. It is currently the seventh-tallest skyscraper in Atlanta.[citation needed]
Set just off Peachtree Street on 15th Street, it sits on the same block asOne Atlantic Center and was only the second major office tower in Midtown. It is set diagonally to the street grid to maximize its impact on the skyline and allow tenants better views. It is clad inreflective glass and has aziggurat-like taperingspire withstainless steel fins that are lit at night. Promenade was intended to be the first of three towers of identical design on the block that it occupies. The two other towers, of 48 and 58 stories, were never built due to the collapse of the commercial real estate market in the early 1990s.[citation needed] Promenade itself was originally planned for 857 feet (261 m) (57 stories) but was scaled back before completion due to the market collapse.[citation needed] The land they were to occupy is now home to the 41-story1180 Peachtree Street office tower.
Thearchitectural firms that worked on this project wereThompson, Ventulett, Stainback & Associates (TVS) and theAi Group. TVS, which was also responsible for theConcourse at Landmark Center highrise development on Atlanta's northern edge, had its headquarters in the building until it moved to 1200 Peachtree Street in 2023.[2] The engineering firm that worked on the Promenade was Thompson Company, Inc. (TCI). TCI is also responsible for theConcourse at Landmark Center.[citation needed]
On August 22, 2014, one of the largest tenants in Promenade II filed a lawsuit in an attempt to stop owner Cousins from placing signage on three sites of the tower.[3] In a court filing in support of the legal action, Thomas Ventulett III, one of the lead architects on Promenade II, said the signage would "certainly diminish the dignified character and aesthetic design of the spire and lighting at the top of the building."[4]
