191 Peachtree Tower is a 235 m (771 ft) 50-storyskyscraper inAtlanta, Georgia. Designed byJohnson/Burgee Architects and Kendall/Heaton Associates Inc, the building was completed in 1990 and isthe fourth tallest in the city, winning the BOMA Building of the Year Awards the next year, repeating in 1998 and 2003.
Throughout the 1990s 191 Peachtree was considered Atlanta's premier business address. However, when two of its largest tenants, law firmKing & Spalding, andWachovia moved toMidtown's new1180 Peachtree andAtlantic Station respectively in 2006, most of the building was left vacant. That same year, Cousins Properties purchased the building from Equity Office Properties, which marked a return to 191 for the company as it helped originally develop the building. Cousins relocated their headquarters to the building,[6] signed a number of small tenants to subdivided space and in January 2008, signed an agreement withDeloitte to extend and expand the consulting firm's current lease from 100,000 to 260,000 sq ft (9,300 to 24,200 m2), bringing the building back to 87 percent occupancy.[7]
The building is located on the former site of theMajestic Hotel, which in the early 20th century was one of the city's major hotels.[8]
The building was originally proposed in July 1987 at 48 floors. The building'sfacade is made of flame finished Rosa Dantegranite and the windows are made of gray tinted glass. Each "tower" possesses a rooftop crown that is illuminated at night. The lighted double crown figured prominently in night footage filmed by helicopter during the1996 Olympics.[citation needed] The primary entrance to the building is through a seven-story, 102-foot (31 m) tall atrium adjacent toPeachtree Street inDowntown Atlanta.[9]
